Before and after each episode of ''[[Back to the Future: The Animated Series]]'', a short live-action clip of Dr. [[Emmett Brown]] (played by [[Christopher Lloyd]]) addressing the camera/audience was shown.

The opening clip usually led to Doc introducing the events of the episode, while the closing clip offered some kind of conclusion and featured a [[video encyclopedia]] in which Doc's lab assistant ([[Bill Nye]]) would perform a science experiment that the viewers could try for themselves at home.

<u>Prologue</u>

Doc introduces himself and his inventions, especially the [[flux capacitor]], which ''"allows me to travel through time the way most people drive across town!"'' The broadcast is then interrupted by [[Verne Brown|Verne]], but is soon restarted. Doc introduces his electromagnetic experiment that he has assembled with [[Jules Brown|Jules]]'s help. He reveals that this is not the first occasion they have constructed such a device. The year was [[1864]]...

<u>Epilogue</u>

Doc tells us that [[Marty]] failed his test because he revised the American civil war instead of the Spanish civil war. Doc's lab assistant then gives a demonstration that teaches us how to make a homemade [[electromagnet]]. When the camera returns to Doc, he has built his own 'Super-electromagnet' powered by the [[DeLorean time machine|DeLorean]]'s [[Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor|Mr. Fusion home energy reactor]]. The magnet begins to attract objects from all over the room, including the camera, which crashes forwards.
