When I initially clicked play it started the video off at 2:30 in.

14:40 Pushing fake science again.

The kids are terrific.

@Nilered needs to redo this😅

theres only one other comment?

He pushed a lot of fake science such as the ridiculous food pyramid and the Earth being millions of years old.

He tells kids to light the match away from them, but he lights it towards himself.

People think saying "sort of" makes someone smart. Nope.

Anyone can control the bend of light with a lens, not just scientists.

He pushed a lot of bad science, such as the bogus food pyramid.

This short attention span version was crap.

I just spent 10 minutes searching for how these things worked, this is not what I expected to find but it finally answered my question.

Saying "sort of" alot doesn't make you smart or scientific.

I did this as mw did as a kid 😂lol

I remember watching Mr. Wizard as a child, but the kids he had on that program seemed smarter back then.

This short attention span version was crap.

Is that a fucking saw?!?

This version was short attention span junk.

The later version was short attention span theater. This is the only real Mr. Wizard.

Electricity is too dangerous to have in your home.

He told the kid not to smell it directly, then Don smelled it directly.

Nowdays you wont spot any kid with any children on tv show. And im thinking it was quite regular thing 30-60 years ago. We should go back to it.

I didn’t know they have CVS receipts back then

All with a pencil and paper and not a calculator or computer in sight. Love that classic Listo marking pencil he’s using. I’ve still got one of those and spare leads for it.

Guessing that Alan was 11 at the time he’d be 70 now. It’s amazing how intelligent children were then. I doubt most 11 year old children today would have a clue what was going on. Of course, Alan may have been “coached” and learned some of this in rehearsal. I’ve always found graphs interestingly as they are a nice visual aid (think computer spreadsheet now). It’s great watching these. Like the WayBack machine that Mr. Peabody had on Bullwinkle.

I'm a 567lbs mentally ill with green hair. It's my choice not to believe in science.

I was in 3rd grade when I saw this episode

Mr. Witcher: Igni

This actually worked. 🤯

This is one of the very few episodes i remember watching as a kid. I love busting out with this trick randomly to show people over the years.

I absolutely loved watching Mr. Wizard as a child in the 80s. I believe watching his show single-handedly got me interested in becoming a scientist. I majored in chemistry and have been working as an analytical chemist for many years. 😊

Charming girl... I wonder what happened to her.

As a retired design engr, I routinely find myself in situations like this, except my "students" are grown adults who thought this was boring in their youth, only to realize how much they missed out on in what goes on in main stream K-12. A d how their day to day experuences and perceptions have been reduced to lobotomized sound bites.

I love the bit falling off the stilts. Health and safety hadn't been invented in those days!

The kid throws his hat and misses. Reality! 😊

Nice! I’m going to write “my body is in the river” in a hotel bathroom

........"look, just put the damn glove on"

2:25 ALLAHU AKBAR!!!

Lol why use a saw blade?

This was the first episode I ever watched. As addicted ever since.

To be truthful, my mother used to lock my bedroom door to keep me inside at night. She was ( justifiably) correct that I might take apart the TV and get killed by a capacitor discharge. Looking back on myself and what I had done, I can see why. I was born in 62 and was dangerous to myself ( and others ) by 1967. Thankfully i never got that far out of control.

Ashley is a smart little guy! “Oh as in carbons dioxide in solid form”. That’s indeed what dry ice is.

It’s a shame that such programs aren’t made anymore. Luckily the Christmas lectures on BBC are still a thing. As a kid I adored these shows and doing experiment. And my nephew now gets into that age of discovery 5.5, so whenever I’m there I have a little trick to show him and his little sister. His sister just loves the attention and being part of it. But he gets to that age that he starts to realize that somethings behave differently than he expects. And seeing his bewilderment and asking “why” or “woahhh!!!” Or me favorite “that’s not normal” 😂Is so much fun.

I remember having the real logo turtle robot in class. Looked like a Perspex dome, with crummy wheels and a ton of wires in it. And it would drag a pen a long.

What is your air speed? 1 frame per second, sir 😂😂😂

So much anxiety

Used to watch this before elementary school

Are there broadcast dates for these wonderful episodes? We know the titles from the start. But--the IMDb isn't of any help. Other than that, these early shows are awesome as a possum with a blossom!!

I made a hot dog cooker this way once. It was just two nails through a board with a cord attached. There was one flaw: the ends of the dog beyond the nails did not get hot.
