Well, that's another piece of my childhood destroyed...

So I make the mistake of Googling "The Voyage of the Mimi" a rather entertaining children's science serial from the mid-80's, set aboard a converted tuna trawler as it roamed the ocean tracking whales and Having Adventures while painlessly introducing some oceanic science to the pre-teen set.

Only to find that the kid playing C.T., grandson of the properly crusty Captain Granville [1], was Ben Affleck, he of overrated acting ability and star of many movies that I've done my best to avoid seeing.

Aiiiii!

[1] Played by Peter Marston, who is likely the only nuclear physicist with an Actor's Guild card.

I'm sorry. Could have told you that years ago.

Never did see the Mimi episodes...
