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.
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.

He was so cheerful.

He was an amazing guy.
