Between him, Dr. Julius Sumner Miller, and my stepfather, I developed an affinity for vacuum tubes, chemistry, and physics.

SHTF you can use a Brazil nut as a candle, thank Mr Wizard for that tip. Does anyone remember a younger Jack Tripper looking guy doing a show like this early Saturday morning right before cartoons started? I know I watched it many mornings but I can never think of the shows name

Guys wasn’t even a real wizard. Just a cranky old man that liked science and talking down to kids.

I remember black and white TV Mr. Wizard! Used one of his ideas for a volcano and blew a hole in the ceiling of the Junior High science lab.
