LOL! Knute, nobody likes the Poor ole EPGY man! Still, if you can bear with it, the program is a solid one.
My boys are doing EPGY at the grade 1 and grade 3 level, and both courses have the same narrator, an elderly man. Listening to one of the videos at
http://suppes-corpus.stanford.edu/lectures.html , it's clear that the EPGY narrator is the same man, Stanford professor emeritus Patrick Suppes, who has been working on computerized instruction since the 1960s. My boys have not complained about the aesthetics of the program, and I am pleased that a pioneering researcher continues to play an important role in the program.
