The two people he does have to keep quiet are sister Dee Dee who seems to consistently mess with his inventions and Mandark, Dexter’s classmate who is not-so-nice attempts to ruin Dexter every chance he gets.

DEXTER’S LABORATORY has won itself a few well deserved awards including three Annie Awards, nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards, four Golden Reel Awards!

What is amazing about this series is that it has introduced science to a very young audience and that same audience has followed throughout the years. There is something absolutely amazing about a series that is not only entertaining but children become seriously invested in learning about what is possible in science. It is such a wonderful concept and to have all seventy-two episodes means the kids can watch again and again.

My granddaughter loves science and is part of Lab Rats at her school but DEXTER’S LABORATORY has her funny bone. What is equally fun is that Mom and Dad watch with her and I do as well because it makes for such a great bonding time. After the episodes we can all sit together and talk about the fun and then the possibilities of the science that Dexter comes up with.

The series also deals with the siblings that do not have that much in common yet, when push comes to shove, they are there for one another. It also deals with rivalry between Dexter and Mandark and how working together is a better idea. The show also deals with situations that need a smart and safe resolution which is something we all would like the kids to know as they grow.

So, gather up the family and kids’ friends and spend the cooled off afternoons with science and fun with DEXTER’S LABORATORY: The Complete Series.

In the end – follow the boy-genius on his adventures!
