I grew up on this guy's show in the twilight of his career, on Nickelodean in the 80s. Had a few of his books as well - good stuff. I'm glad he's not forgotten and I wish more educators on TV would take his approach. I was in my very early teens by the time Bill Nye's show became popular, but compared to Mr. Wizard's World I found it patronizing and didn't watch it much. (Beakman's Lab or whatever, I found plainly insulting and never gave it a second chance.)
