The Curiosity Show: Corrugated Cardboard Glasses

[openmindedozzie]

I'm glad you asked... Here's one we prepared earlier.....lol... :-)

[jomiel3]

Is this show on DVD? I loved it growing up!

[GeneralG1810]

Parents HATED this show, all kids did was tear up things, glue things and take stuff that they would never find again

[mast3rlinkx13]

This isn't what I was expecting...

I was looking for Curiosity, not this...

Dislike because it's just another Make Magazine clone.

[stitchgroover]

@mast3rlinkx13 What on Earth is Make Magazine? Dont' blame the Curiosity Show for your poor searching...

[roguetrooper815]

@mast3rlinkx13 This show was inspiring kids to 'make' 30 years ago.

[GrafKrolock82]

He's right... people _WILL_ notice you

[brockpierce1984]

I remember rushing back home after school to watch this show, back in Germany..in a german dubbed version.

But nowadays you have to pay quite a bundle to get those kind of shades in store...

[nicmah]

Great work! Keep them coming!

[P0rn0ralle84]

kanye west would wear the right away

[JiminyKracker]

"Coming up next - how you can make a pair of swimming togs using chicken wire, which you can also wear to the beach.

...our advice is to take some self-defense lessons first!"

[Herzstein666]

Let us all wear this sunglasses and make them as trendy as they should be! 8-) Cardboard-Sunglasses forever!!!!!!!!

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

i soooooo loved that show!! It ran on german TV as a dubbed version so i watched it as a child a lot :) They were showing so many great things which did inspire a lot of people including myself.

Where are these shows today? Where has the DIY mentality gone? Replaced by a "buy more new & hot stuff" mentality?

You can still watch this show today and it is entertaining like when it was originally broadcasted. Over and over again :D

[elmando6522]

Awesome stuff. Would love to see the whole series. Thanks for putting it up.

[Pamberjack]

Oh my god. My youth in a TV show - largely responsible for my current geeky-ness. Love the facial hair.

THANKS!

:D

[Disasterhannes]

[levansRS]

I loved watching this show when i wasn't playing my commodore 64 ;)

[WackenDiddi]

I have seen it in Germany when i was 7 or 8 years old- very wunderful

[d1oftwins]

CS is the founder of Geordi LaForges Visor? No just kidding. ;)

Great show!

[panictactics]

I remember, back in the day, beating up some dumb kid for making and wearing these.

Good times.

[mickgolubovic]

Nowadays that dumb kid is probably twice your size, does kick boxing, has your name tattooed all over his body, screams at himself in the mirror, and is trying to find out where you live...

He probably still wears those awesome glasses too...

[TatjanaBlume]

Wow!!!

When i wa a little girl , i watched these show!!! It´s so wonderful!!!:-)

[Aincircle]

I grew up watching these guys as a kid. Good stuff!

[HaruKodama]

[blisspix]

I used to make the cardboard TV, and the cardboard VCR. Happy happy memories.

[flyhalf2006]

Class show! Us 80's kids had it so lucky. No internet, no phones, no Xbox, just class TV like this.

[emleash]

[MickEzekiel]

I remember watching this episode and wanting to make those :-P

[benabz]

i used to run home from school in 1980 to watch this on Friday afternoons. Rob Morrison became one of my lecturers during my teaching degree at Flinders Uni - Sturt.

[steviebboy69]

great show i used to love it.

i remember the one where they made the human hair hydrometer.

i had a go at that one myself. with the long strand of hair plucked from my sisters head hehe.

[scottgogogo]

These guys are legends. I loved the show as a kid.

[DeGuerre]

Disclaimer: Please don't make these sunglasses and then try to wear them outside in the sun. While they do cut down the amount of light, they don't provide good UV protection.

And thanks for the memory! Deane and Rob rule!

[maval1]

Great! Thanks for posting this, keep going. I am from Slovakia and have seen CS on austrian TV 20 years ago. I loved the show, but then disappeared... Post more shows please, or if you have the DVD, share it please!
