Don Herbert, famously known as Mr. Wizard, died today at 89.
I still fondly remember waking up in the wee morning to watch his show just before going to school. He made science fun, entertaining, and inspirational.
I was so enamored, I scoured the public library for his books. That way, I could enjoy the wonders of science, even when his show wasn’t on.
I will dearly miss you.

Mr. Wizard was one of the first shows I watched when our cable system got Nickelodeon back in the middle 80s. I guess it was my educational entertainment to counteract You Can’t Do That On Television.

Our family still makes the chocolate popcorn recipe that we learned from Mr. Wizard during a lesson about the temperature at which liquids boil and how heat changes liquid.
Thanks, Mr. Wizard, for that lesson and many more. What a great show!
