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 entertaining and informative educational TV series which aired on U.S. broadcaster NBC. Mr Wizard (Don Herbert) demonstrates to a kid how rocks are formed through a series of easy to understand experiments. No commercials, though there's a PSA for eating a good breakfast. Aired live from Chicago, and recorded as a kinescope. Re-upload with much improved sound quality. I've been going through my old DVD collection and came across the Alpha Video DVD that featured the show.
