Saturday School: Xploration DIY SCI (2014)

 As the title implies, Xploration DIY Sci was part of Fox's Xploration Station block when it launched 10 years ago. Today, the series is in syndication, but now known as simply DIY Sci, even though the block bug is still present. Locally, the MyNetwork TV affiliate carries the show.

2nd generation producer Steve Rotfeld put the block together, and signed another Steve---Steve Spangler, that is---as series host. Spangler was a frequent guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show before launching this series.

Following is a sample clip:


I would venture the target audience would be grades 6-12, perhaps up to college. Spangler brings the wacky, too, with some comedy skits.

Rating: A-.
