I have that intro song as my phone's ringtone. It was always a joyful day when my teachers would pull out the TV on a cart and play an episode of Bill Nye.
Me sitting at the back of the room against the wall 40 feet away from the monitor, surrounded by 30 teenagers all whispering in the dark: ..... I can't hear the TV!
lol maybe, VCR's are a bitch to service though. It probably would have been cheaper to replace it. I have no basis for that, just guessing. Feel free to call me out.
I went to a well funded school in New England, this was period correct even as late as 2013. For VHS especially these carts were still in use, but starting in maybe 2007/2008 some teachers would use their computer + VGA projector setup for DVDs. Especially since there weren't enough carts to go around
I can hear this picture
And it’s louder than the rest of the tape.
I wanna watch cosmos!
Billllllllions and billllions
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
Bill Nye the science guy!

aww snap I hope it's ferngully
We got to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure once!
Also, I had an extremely lazy English teacher who would show us TOS Star Trek episodes when she didn't feel like teaching. That was awesome.
Coming to VHS in fall 1998!
Not if I have anything to do about it.
Sweet.
"We have our heading" "Here we goooooooo!"
Why i can hear & feel that image vividly, like i was there....
Oh...god, thanks OP you made me remember my not so bright past
My 9th grade 2nd period experience.
Oh wow, yeah. I was working, in a client's office. All work stopped at that point.
I loved those Eyewitness videos with the intro flying through a CG museum. Still get nostalgic for them sometimes when TierZoo uses that theme song XD
magic schoolbus FTW
I miss this shit
By the time the trailers end, class will be over!
Voyage of the Mimi theme song intensifies.
The TV is not period correct. Source: 2000's kid
Edit: Neither is the VCR, it looks mid-late '80s
So it's period correct for an underfunded middle school in the 00s

Oh for sure, doesn't stop schools from trying

It's funny, I have an old JVC VCR from about that time that I want to get serviced. Maybe some time if there's anyone left alive who knows how.
My daughter was born in 2010 and she has experienced the TV/VCR combo on wheels multiple times.
Your school was well funded.
