Trivia
In the '50s, the show was sponsored by Bosco, a chocolate syrup. Halfway through the show, Mr. Wizard always asked the kid he was working with, "What is nature's most perfect food?" and the kid was primed to say "Milk." Then Mr. Wizard could go on and praise Bosco for making it easy to make chocolate milk. But there was one time they didn't reckon with a wise kid with nerves of steel, who, when asked the question, responded loudly "Ovaltine!"

A very fond THANKS Mr. Wizard

This was great show for kids. Mr Wizard was always interesting showing kids things they had never seen before. And explaining how things worked. Mr. Wizard never seemed to lose interest in teaching kids, I've seen him a number of times since his series was taken off the air, and he still loves to teach science. You were an inspiration Mr Wizard, a lot of us really looked up to you.
