So way back in the day. I don't even know the day (1984) when a young (12), capless Ben Affleck plays one of his most important roles as CT Granville on the Voyage of the Mimi. His grandpa, who is the captain of the small ship Mimi, is not happy about his grandson CT joining the expedition; an expedition to study whale behaviors. The cast faced smaller problems at first, then a FUCK-ING STORM hits the Mimi, and throws them to an island. What is the stranded crew to do for survival. I really don't remember much seeing as how I saw the show when I was in fifth grade. I was wondering if anyone else had seen this fine PBS production. It wasn't really that fine. The fucking show came with homework packets, and my fifth grade science teacher wasn't good at teaching, but she sure could yell and piss me off all right. It is quite possibly the most average whale watching, sea disaster, PBS production in the last 20 years.
