great show, learned alot from it growing up. i would love to see Nickelodeon put it back on again so my kids could watch it....it was so much better than 90 percent of what is on kids tv now.

I was always more partial to Dr. Julius Sumner Miller.

Still, RIP Mr. Wizard.

Watching this show was one of the few things me and my dad did together when I was younger since he owned his own buisness and worked alot.

RIP :(
