Watch Mr. Wizard
In his groundbreaking TV series from the 1950s and '60s, Peabody Award winner Don Herbert -- better known as Mr. Wizard -- introduces the preteen set to the wonders of science. Demonstrating inventive experiments with thoughtful care, Mr. Wizard was a popular and critical success. This collection also includes adventures from "Winky Dink and You," a 1950s kids' series hailed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates as "the first interactive TV show."
From the archive
An episode of an educational TV series which aired on U.S. broadcaster NBC. Don Herbert demonstrates to a kid six different ways of creating electricity. I don't know when this episode aired, but I'm guessing early 1960s. I've been going through my old DVD collection, and recently came across the Alpha Video DVD with three episodes. I hope this is an improved copy compared to my old upload on my old account.
