Season and episodes notes [ edit ] The "Historical Capsule" segment in Season 1, episode 9 incorrectly states that Florence Nightingale founded the Elizabeth Arden cosmetics company in 1930. In fact, the company was founded by Florence Nightingale Graham .[ 3] The background music in the "Pipe Organs" segment of Season 2, episode 2 is called "Variations for Organ on 'O Filii et Filiæ ', Opus 49, No. 2" by French organist and composer Alexandre Guilmant . The "Techno Flash" segment was removed from the third season, and the "Historical Capsule" segment was removed from the fifth season.[ 4] In the U.S. version of the show, the "Condoms" segment in Season 28, episode 1 is replaced with the "Rubber Gloves" one, which is a duplicate of the same segment in Season 21, episode 1. The Science Channel in the U.S. lists the seasons[ 5] differently from the original Canadian version of the show: Original season listing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 (ep. 1–10) 28 (ep. 11–13), 29, 30 (ep. 1–2) 31, 32, 30 (ep. 3–4) 30 (ep. 5–13) Science Channel season listing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
