This show first
aired on March 3,
1951 - Live! - on
the NBC network
from Chicago.
Don Herbert
conceived, produced
and starred in this
nationally televised
show which ran 15
years covering
some 400 topics from
Archaeology to Zoology. The show was
truly a first in TV
Broadcasting. It was
an inquiry-based,
hands-on format
which children,
parents and teachers
tuned in to every
Saturday morning
to see what challenge Mr.Wizard dreamed
up for his young
guest.
"When people meet
me in person, they
usually recall their
favorite show from
Watch Mr. Wizard."
