Rest in Peace Mr. Wizard

Don Herbert, TVs 'Mr. Wizard, dies at 89.
You know.... I hadn't thought of Mr. Wizard in quite some time. But tonight (just moments ago, actually) when I heard that Mr. Wizard died, it really hit me. I LOVED this mans show, "Mr. Wizard's World".
What I didn't know about him was that he didn't hold any advanced degree in science. Yet, he influenced many children's interest in science. Including mine.
I STILL remember some if his experiments 20 YEARS later. I really wanted to be on his show when I was little. I watched it on Nickelodeon. What does that channel do now? Rugrats? Sponge Bob? Give me Mr. Wizard ANY day.
