Learned a lot of cool stuff from him before I was old enough to have real science classes taught in school.

Yes, he gave Tooter Turtle his wish and brought him back home when he (Tooter) got in over his head.

I've heard of "Mister Wizard" and knew it was a TV show, but never watched it. And I'd never heard the real name of the guy either.

He would not do well in a modern classroom.
I remember him being kind of mean. It’s hilarious now.

He was a bit before my time, but I still remember some reruns. I was more of a Beakman's World guy. I wasn't too much of a Bill Nye fan, even before he became a douche.

Loved Mr. Wizard watched him on Nickelodeon while I ate breakfast when I was in elementary school.

Now that is a DVD set I would like to buy.

Mr Wizard was one of my favorites on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. But then again, from what I remember Mr. Wizard and You Can't Do That On Television were the only two shows that seemed to play on that channel in its early days.
