Don Herbert, TV's 'Mr. Wizard,' dies at 89 in Southern California...

From www.mrwizardstudios.com:

It is with deep sadness that we regret to announce the passing of Don Herbert - the one and only "Mr. Wizard". Don lost his battle with cancer today, June 12, 2007, at 9 AM Pacific Daylight Time - slightly more than one month shy of his 90th birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by his family, who are at once, saddened by his passing, and relieved that he is no longer suffering.

We all feel extremely lucky to have had him in our lives and to have known and worked with Don over the years. We have also been tremendously honored to carry on his legacy as an original and truly legendary figure in the worlds of both Television and Science Education. He has been inspirational and influential in so many ways and on so many lives and we are comforted in the fact that his ground breaking work and legacy will continue to inspire many more people for years to come.

Thank you so much to all of you for your support and sympathy.

Sincerely, The Family



If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Oh, That totally sucks.

My Brother and I used to wake up early on school days, just so we would have time to catch Mr. Wizards World on Nick. I mean, Whole generations of geeks Have Been influenced by his shows. He Will Be Missed.
Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show.
