I've been killing myself trying to rmb the name of this guy/show... back in the mid 90's i guess there were two or three really big kid science shows...one was bill nye another was pmk...but theres one more that i can't rmb the name of. The scientist had big afro-ish hair that looked like he just came outta an oven...and he had 2 side kicks..one was a girl in tights and the other was a big guy dressed up as a rat...
