He actually had a real name, too. Don Herbert. I didn’t know that.

I also didn’t know he had a show before Mr. Wizard’s World on Nickelodeon, but he had a fourteen year run on another network back in the 50s, too.

There’s also a website — http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/ — but it doesn’t seem to be working for me right now.

I guess this is supposed to be an obituary, or something. I didn’t think they were usually so long. Probably one of the better things you can say about a dead person is in there, though: he taught people to think.

It’s a pity the lesson didn’t stick with everyone.
