I watched this in 6th grade science 85/86.

Of course we all snickered when dude had to strip down to his underwear almost catching hypothermia.

That was this show, right? I don't think I was high.

I thought one of the crew got hypothermia, so the guys stripped to their underwear and got in a big sleeping bag together to warm him up.

No, that's definitely it. It was the captain, if I remember right, so the 2 guys stripped and snuggled up with him to warm him up. There was also the deaf girl that could read lips.

Why is the the only thing I remember from the entire show? I couldn’t tell you a single other thing that happened.

Yeah, something like that. It's been 36 years, so my memory is slipping. 😂

6th grade in 97 and I remember that scene and the snickering.

The kids in my class were not snickering, they were laughing their asses off. The teacher had to stop the laser disc player for a moment in order to yell at everyone.

I’ve been trying to remember what crazy show had this when I was in elementary school. You have solved the mystery. Thank you!

Yep, that was the hypothermia episode. You might even have been in my class, because I remember lots of snickering.

I remember my science teacher giving us a heads up a man in underwear was about to happen. Was pretty anti climatic. Also I have always looked for a 5 gallon bucket of peanut butter.

We watched the 60's something version of Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade English class, and had to have our folks sign a waiver because Juliet shows boobie in one scene. We were all excited and the teacher let us know the moment was coming. It was like .5 second of boob and we were all disappointed after. She actually had to pause the film and lecture us because the entire class was murmuring about how lame and anti-climatic the whole thing was.

I remember that. It was a fleeting moment under the sheets.

There was a big controversy at my school in 5th grade because a teacher let us watch Twister and they swear in it a couple times. We also watched Apollo 13 and a different teacher tried to fast forward past the swear words.

5th grade for us, around 2000/2002. Part of the science unit, then we had to demonstrate some of the things they did (like the water thing - thankfully not the hypothermia thing). It was also tied into a humpback whale-watching field trip.

That sounds like an awesome field trip! I grew up in the metro Atlanta area, so we were nowhere near anywhere a whale could be seen.
