Little Ben Affleck in Voyage of the Mimi

Here's a little clip from the 1984 educational PBS TV series Voyage of the Mimi. This show consisted of two halves, episodes and expeditions. The episodes were like an educational made for TV movie and were 15 minutes each. Immediately following each episode was an expedition show which also lasted 15 minutes but was the actors as themselves discussing with scientists the educational topics which were in the previous episode. The expeditions felt like a 3-2-1 contact type show where the episodes were more like a movie and generally more entertaining. Thousands of American middle school children had been forced to watch this series in school and complete assignments based on it. Even though this series first aired over 20 years ago, it's likely some schools are still running it today. This clip came from expedition 9, Goose Bumps.
