Classic Educational Television: ''Mr. Wizard'' - Episode on ''Electricity''

An episode of the popular classic educational series "Mr. Wizard" in this case about electricity. Far more entertaining than "Flavor of Love". Nice Retro TV! This show was aimed at children.

… this one aired on May 12, 1963.

Compare this show to the situation in Iran, and try to seriously claim that our society is not in a state of decadence and decline. This show sought to educate children, while President Ahmadinejad basically hijacked the election! Unfortunately, some people are more interested in maintaining their place in power, than creating shows that are informational, and thought provoking. How sad.
Thank you for posting this.

Regardless of what Mr Mayer thought, television was clearly here to stay, at least for a little while. Though NBC is currently losing a lot of money.

That said, this ain't a bad little program, which is probably why I uploaded it. It's far more entertaining than say "ET: The Video Game" and frankly I'd take it over this years model as well. Quiet, Daggott.

This episode on electricity is "shockingly" entertaining. Debbie was probably right to make a song called "Electric Youth".

Hey! Don't be a square, this is certainly a good show. But then, what do I know? Most reviews on IA go on and on about stuff unrelated to the film.

Once, I ate a delicious cake for my Birthday, which included edible stickers with characters from ABC cartoons.

I HATE YOU, ADOLF HITLER!!

It's pretty cool to see that old record player being part of the electricity demonstation.

If You've Got Trouble, you can't have more trouble than NBC.

Still, this is an entertaining program, well worth watching since it's refreshingly unpretensious.

I Will Eat Joey!!

UPDATE: Perhaps a went a little too far with the weirdness in this review. I'll have to try to moderate myself.

Compare this show to "Flavor of Love", and try to seriously claim that our society is not in a state of decadence and decline. This show sought to educate children, "Flavor" seeks to promote intellectual childishness. Unfortunately, crudity and an anti-intellectual attitude seems to currently sell more deodorant, than shows that are informational, and thought provoking. How sad.
