A brief opening fragment from Beyond 2000, the Australian-produced technology and science series that aired on the Discovery Channel. Henry introduces the episode as host: "Hello, I'm Henry Tenenbaum. Welcome to Beyond 2000. Coming up on this edition..." He teases two upcoming segments — one by "Mimi" on human growth technology controlled by a tiny motor, and another on listening to the farthest reaches of the universe. The fragment ends with an unexplained "I love you" at the 0:56 mark, likely a personal aside captured on tape.
This represents a significant career milestone — Henry's transition from local TV news (KRON) to national/international cable programming as a host of a Discovery Channel series.

| Access notes | Very short fragment — only 56 seconds of content. Likely extracted from a longer tape. The "I love you" at 0:56 appears to be a personal aside or tape artifact. |
This fragment is primarily significant as evidence of Henry's role as host of Beyond 2000, a well-known Discovery Channel science series. The show was originally produced in Australia (by Beyond International) and featured multiple correspondents reporting on emerging technologies worldwide. Henry's role as host marks his transition from local TV news to national cable programming — a significant career move after KRON. The fragment is too short for meaningful content analysis but confirms his hosting role. "Mimi" is likely one of the show's regular correspondents. The "I love you" at 0:56 is unexplained — possibly directed at someone off-camera, or a tape artifact from the source material.
