I remember that, I had totally forgotten it. Glad you reminded me of it rather than the inevitable family guy parody.

God yeah, I remember this, even remembered all four character's names and the special phrase to animate Jeff.

I used to watch this when I got home from Kindergarden.

I used to love this show. It taught me that white people are wooden and awkward, while black people are bright and full of life.

This is full of Win. I loved this show as a kid, I used to watch this, Mr. Wizard, and You can't do that on Television all the time at my grandmother's house, since we didn't have cable.

I used to love Mr. Wizard when I was really little. I couldn't get enough of that show. I'd wake up at 6 a.m. when I was like, I don't know... 7, just to watch it. It had such a great atmosphere to it: the intro, the intuitive segments, etc. And while that may just be the nostalgia speaking, that old dude had quite the charm to him. I bet he smelled fantastic. Like Brut and Irish Spring.

David Letterman's Top Ten Mr. Wizard Episodes is funny as hell.

Yeah, mannequins come to life...I'd be pissed if I ordered a mannequin (which happened to come to life) and got this tool instead of Christy Swanson or those chicks from the "Love in an Elevator" video.
This show was very cool, but, in context, it was the smelly second-cousin to the FAR superior and creepier "Pinwheel."

Agreed, I was such a huge fan of Pinwheel. Sometimes I would lay awake at night wondering if I was the only person that remembered that show, but now I can sleep easy.

When Nick began, I think they ran Pinwheel in 4 hour chunks. It was such a weird show with puppets, people, mimes and European cartoons, most people probably don't think it was real.
I saw some dude on the internet is selling bootleg copies of Pinwheel and Today's Special. I thought about it, but those shows are probably better in my head...unless I can find where Mommy hid that opium.

My first band director in High School we thought looked like the mole on Pinwheel. In fact we all learned to play the pinwheel song on the xylophone because of it, well that and being underage drunk at band camp.
