1. RIP...
I used to watch Mr. Wizard's World on Nickelodeon when I was a young child in the 80's. Sad to see him go :(

2. me too i used to watch him as a kid all the time
and i used to actually try out his experiments that he did. Most of them were pretty easy to do for a kid and cool enough to be entertaining.

RIP!

4. That's where I watched him.
I didn't know he had a show in the 50-60's as well.

I used to love Mr Wizard, and "You Can't do That on Television".

5. I loved his show
Seems like I learned more from his shows than I did at school.

7. I used to watch him on Nick too
It was a great show, it's a shame they don't show stuff like that on Nickelodeon anymore

RIP Mr. Wizard

3. I had no idea he was still alive.
He meant a lot to the world, really he did.

He was purely wonderful.
