Reply to comment by IdyllicOleander in Ben Affleck on the set of "The Voyage of the Mimi" in 1984. by IdyllicOleander

I remember very little of the actual show, but I feel like we watched an episode every week in 6th grade (late 90’s 🤢).

Was there a woman with a missing arm in the show? For some reason I remember an amputee explaining “phantom feelings” in their arm; unless I am thinking of something completely different.

This was a very disjointed response to you but my mind is churning up all this nostalgia thanks to a single mention of the voyage of the Mimi. Whew.

Hahahaha pretty sure it was a deaf woman who felt vibrations in the ship to know what was happening.

It was her leg! And it was The Second Voyage of the Mimi when they did archeology.

There were multiple Mimis?! Mimi? Mimi (pronounced me-my)? Mimis? How many Mimi were there?!

My, my.

Just the two. One year we did oceanography and the next we did archeology so we watched both. I liked the science interviews after the episodes. They seem to be on YouTube.
