Don Herbert, who explained the wonderful world of science to millions of young baby boomers on television in the 1950s and '60s as "Mr. Wizard" and did the same for a later generation of youngsters on the Nickelodeon cable TV channel in the 1980s, died Tuesday. He was 89.
Mr. Herbert died at his home in Bell Canyon after a long battle with multiple myeloma, said Tom Nikosey, Mr. Herbert's son-in-law.

Used to watch that show everyday after I got home from elementary school. :(

Reminds me how awesome Nick used to be, with Mr. Wizards World, Double Dare, You Can't Do That On Television, and cartoons like Danger Mouse. Now, it's just wall-to-wall Spongebob.

I thought your parents didn't allow Mr. Wizard because science was the work of the devil.
