Mad Scientist Toon Club (aka Mad Scientist Kids Club) is an educational children's television show produced by Saban Entertainment that aired in US syndication from September 15, 1993 to January 25, 1994. Each one-hour program (including commercials) mixed live action segments hosted by the scientist character "Dr. Pi" (Michael Sorich) and pre-existing Japanese animation, including Saban's Tic Tac Toons. The format of the science portions was similar to Beakman's World and Bill Nye the Science Guy (all were produced in response to the 1990 Children's Television Act). Dr. Pi stood wearing a green lab coat and a backwards baseball cap, surrounded by a colorful set, and presented experiments that children could perform at home.
