@zod867 That "blipp" sound is what controlled the tape machines that played the programs and commercials. Different sound frequencies were used to make the tape machine and other equipment turn on and off and do different things at the proper time. Even by todays standards it still isn't perfect as you can see stuff on tv cut into or out of when going from the network feed to the local commercials and promos and then back to the network programming.
Wow I haven't seen the Two pins on a ruler girl in a LONG time! It was two pins and on different parts of her body they would test to see when her brain would register that it was just one.
i remember the water episode!! and actually, i never forgot it!. that's one of the ones i remember. and the cards on the edge of the table, and the amt. of air in your lungs, and the inside the tin can that he rolls to show it draws scallop shapes and not circles....
Mr. Wizard's great. I used to watch the show after school. Then, one day, I heard that Mr. Wizard would be performing at the local mall. I went, and was chagrined to be the only adult there not accompanying a kid. Embarrassed or not, I had fun and stayed through the whole performance.
