Don Herbert died today in Los Angeles of bone cancer. He was 89.

 

Wow...there's a blast from the past. I loved his TV show back in the late '80s. You'll be missed, Mr. Wizard.

RIP Mr. Wizard. Loved that show.

 

I loved Mr Wizard. RIP

 

Man, I grew up on that show. He was on a local radio station in Los Angeles on his birthday about 4 years ago, I can't remember all that was said, but he did seem like a really good guy.

RIP. What a shame he had to go

 

Sad Sad sad......an Icon gone.

 

Learned a lot from his show. He will be missed.

 

That truly was a great show, and a great man. RIP MR Wizard

 

Hmmm, was listening to the Coast to Coast radio show last night and he was on. Either it was his ghost or they were doing a rerun.

You can probably find the audio file on their website. Yeah just looked, the recap can be found at...

This is one of those shows I listened to as background when I am sleeping so I don't remember a lot of the details on this particular one but grogilly heard some of it.

RIP Mr Wizard. He did a great show.

 

Wow, I have to get out more. I never heard of him or his show. Was it on PBS?

 

What kind of show was it, and when was it on?

It used to be on in the early morning on the weekends. The show originally aired in the 60's. He always had two whiz kids on helping him with basic scientific experiments.
