When I was in elementry school in Florida, I used to watch him on my tiny teevee, at about 6am in the morning.

He was so cheerful.

I loved watching his show! He was a patient man, who loved showing not only the neat effects of the science, but the details of why it did what it did. I got into trouble more than a few times growing up with the new tricks I learned, and ... modified. He left the world a better place, which is no small task.

I used to watch his show in reruns all the time, practically every day, when I was in elementary school. I loved that show!

I'd forgotten almost all about it, but I even remember a few episodes. I think I remember one where he froze a rose in something and then shattered it on the counter- and did the same thing with a balloon. It was really cool.

He was an amazing guy.

Likely, liquid nitrogen.

One of my teachers did the same thing with a racquet ball one year. XD

Man... Mr. Wizard gone, Bob Barker retirting... my childhood is quickly fading into the history books.

Mr. Wizard left a huge impact on me. He inspired me to do many "experiments" in my kitchen as a child. It was also his show where I first saw a computer being used.

I watched his show every time it was on Nickelodeon. My dad and I would watch it together, one of the few shows back then we both liked.
