Mr. Wizard was awesome! I learned tons from watching him.
Beakman and Bill Nye can't hold a candle to what he did. In fact both of their shows are seriously limited to only a few science facts per episode because of how much show biz flash they put into them. They may keep your attention and entertain, but very little learning happens.
