Rest in Peace



Mr. Wizard



You will be missed.



1917 - 2007







Don Herbert, who explained the wonderful world of science to millions of young baby boomers on television in the 1950s and `60s as "Mr. Wizard" and did the same for another generation of youngsters on the Nickelodeon cable TV channel in the 1980s, died Tuesday. He was 89.

Oh... Man, bummer!! I use to love watching him. He always got me in a good deal of trouble with my mom:) He will be missed... Kids today don`t get HQ shows like his anymore.

That was a great show. As a kid, I never found any early morning (before 7 am) tv programming interesting (all adult stuff like news, church, etc.), but Mr. Wizard was one of those shows I`d actually watch before going to school.



Sad to hear that he has passed away. RIP Mr. Wizard

It`s a sad day for science geeks of all ages.



RIP, science-guy.
