Brian George stars as their police officer friend Sgt. Paganee. The show focused on the adventures of the main cast as they stumbled onto one problem after another, using Tom and Annie's scientific wit to solve the situation.
Each episode ends with a short animated sequence illustrating a key scientific principle demonstrated in the preceding live action story.
The last name of "Edison" is a homage to the inventor Thomas Edison.
