"In 'Watch Mr. Wizard,' which was produced from 1951 to 1964 and received a Peabody Award in 1954, Herbert turned TV into an entertaining classroom. On a simple, workshop-like set, he demonstrated experiments using household items.
'He modeled how to predict and measure and analyze. ... The show today might seem slow but it was in-depth and forced you to think along,' Jacobs said. 'You were learning about the forces of nature.'"
We will miss you Mr. Wizzard. My love of science came from you.
