- Mr. Wizard shows us Liquid Nitrogen in action. Subscribe now for more science, nature and technology clips from the 1980's Nickelodeon show, Mr. Wizard's World, every week on #WizardWednesdays.
I LOVED watching this show back in the day. Miss shows like this
Me too! Brings back memories of my childhood in the 80s 😁😀
Don is the Bob Ross of science experiments! Soooooo relaxing!!!
Well said
You never see tv shows with this kind of organic unrehearsed vibe anymore.
I always liked it as a kid, because I was glad the kid wasn't some genius.
@MrGriff305 PC police spotted!

Because everything has to have a political undertone now, regardless of the side it supports.
I was so desperate for scientific knowledge and information as a kid in the late 80s that I would, to the great annoyance of family, actually attempt to organize my day around being able to watch things like Mr. Wizard and 321 Contact. I now work at an ultra high power laser-driven inertial nuclear fusion facility which does experiments to recreate the interior of stars and planetary cores in the laboratory. Just a few days ago I was able to take a little liquid nitrogen from work to make some LN2 ice cream for my niece and nephew's birthday party. Don Herbert could never know it, but along with thousands of other kids of that era, this man opened up countless vistas of new scientific horizons for us, and shaped my entire life trajectory.
I was exactly the same way as a kid, same shows and all. Coincidentally, my job in the Army was nuclear, biological & chemical ops & reconnaissance.
I remember watching this episode as a kid. I'm now 42 and remember learning a lot from this show. I remember taking things I learned from the show into school w/ me too.
One of my fave shows to watch growing up. Mr. Wizard is not such a grump. I like him. He's a good teacher. He's very encouraging, he gets you to start thinking, analyze and realise/learn from mistakes, and he does not patronize. Kids these days are too privileged.
Yeah they don't make shows like these anymore. God knows kids nowadays need to learn from shows like this instead of the social media
The world was such a better place in the 80's.
SamGuthrie1977 I agree I remember watching Mr. Wizard's World on Nick every afternoon.
SamGuthrie1977 when everyone wore sweaters over collared shirts and we didnt have people like trump ruining twitter
...when we didn't have twitter.
yah we just had trump on life style of the rich and famous.
No it wasn't. It just that we were kids in the 80s and didn't know what was going on around us. That's what makes being a child so amazing.
"i dont want your hands to get hurt, so i gave you the goggles" 😂😂😂😂
I don't think you understand how quotes work.
Here's a glove but I don't think you need it so give it back! 😄
Well anyone knows that you always wear protective eye wear in the lab.
"The goggles do nothing!"
Mr.Wizard is the reason I love science and physics !!!! We need more shows like this that teach kids real science and core concepts.
I’m sure this kid still remembers how cool this was 🙂
Jamie - He's dead
Why would he be dead?
@@ginoyesano5649 - He died in a murder suicide. His boyfriend killed him then killed himself. It happened in San Francisco in 1998.
Woa, that's too bad.
@@LucifersDeathSquad This sounds made up.
"Now Christain, clean this shit up"
Dads would say the same thing lol!
This episode of Mr. Wizard taught Jason how he could shove that chick's head into liquid nitrogen and then smash her face on the counter in "Jason X".
Brilliant! Lol
Yeah, that was gross sh!t
The kid said car gas...trying to slip one past Mr Wizard
fuckin lol
😂😂😂😂
Loved that kid!
Kid was clever haha
In HS I worked at a carwash fixing hydraulics. My boss asked me where I learned so much about hydraulics and I said, watching mr wizard. He laughed and I said, if you think about it, they don't teach this in school except in physics class and I never took physics, but I did watch Mr Wizard. I figured out what was wrong and then opened the pumps and motors to see how they worked, then fixed them.
I watched this all the time when I was a kid - great to see these episodes again!
Mr Wizard made me incredibly curious in everyday things. He truly shaped my life.
I was half expecting Mr Wizard to quickly grab the kid's hand and thrust it into the bowl while yelling,
"You see? You see what happens?!"
Lmao! The 80s was a reckless time.
That was more of a 70s kid thing much safer in the 80s now smash this stuff with a hammer
LMAO
I remember watching this back about 87 or 88. This is one of the episodes I specifically remember
Ahh, 88! This show is classic. Do you remember the show Dinosaurs when they say, "We're going to need another Timmy" 🤣
Why isn't this show doing re runs on Nickelodeon? I'm a sophomore in highschool and didn't even know that about liquid nitrogen! My science teacher was lazy and really never taught us anything or made us interested he just gave us vocab and notes then we take finals...
So? The science behind it isn't dated.
You didn't know solid's when getting cold enough will change its molecular structure
Viacom has alot of MTV Networks old material stored in Vaults.
Because its 2 white males..thats why
lol
I absolutely loved watching Mr. Wizard as a child in the 80s. I believe watching his show single-handedly got me interested in becoming a scientist. I majored in chemistry and have been working as an analytical chemist for many years. 😊
Anyone else here for the nostalgia?
I used to love this show back in the 80's and 90's.
I am so proud to have grown up in the 1980’s. I loved this show when it aired on Nickelodeon!
I watched this episode when it was new. Back when kids were not shielded from science. Memories!
Who's shielding kids from science?
This one segment AMAZED me as a kid. Thanks for putting this online.
This is the feller that got me interested in science stuff as a kid I remember sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal and watching this every other morning or so. If only my math skills were ever good in school, which they sure weren't... probably coulda been a chemist or something.
Okay, Christian, now I'm gonna teach ya how to make a pipe bomb. Then we'll show those bastards at that damn golf club what happens when you disqualify Mr. Wizard over "property damage."
rip my sides
Oh my childhood. Loved this show!
Oh my god, I LOOOOVED Mr. Wizard as a kid. Such a trip to see this again, and I think I remember this bit about liquid nitrogen.
We use liquid nitrogen at work and I must admit when no one was around I put a bunch in a dish and thanks to watching this episode went around breaking stuff.
Man oh man this was one of my favorite shows as a child. Here it is 2019 and still interesting.
I used to wake up before school to watch this guy. I miss these science shows
OMG you'd never see this show on now.
I remember watching this at 5 in the morning before going to school….ahh the simple times.
Wild disclaimer at the beginning!😁Bring back Mr Wizard - no, not a remake-replay this one on TV!!
Cooking with Mr. Wizard. Apple, Rubber, Ball, soldering soup.
I am a science professional in my 30s. I just watched that with great interest - didn't blink once!! :) love Mr Wisard, wow...
*Wizard :D
This was always one of my favorite Mr Wizard experiments.
I use to wake up early before school just to watch him. ❤️❤️❤️
He used to come on in the middle of the afternoon during the summer It was I think it was after Pinwheel.
he was so practical he was the Bill Nye of my generation
Now Christian, we're going to freeze this T-1000 sent back from the future to kill John Connor...
Mr Wizard is much Better than Bill Nye.
Why?
because bill nye is lame...
Retrobensan THANK YOU!!!!!
Because he's now Bill Nye The PC Left Winged Indoctrination Guy
Yeah, Mr Wizard doesn't go around saying that people that disagree with his ideas should be jailed and treated as war criminals. Bill Nye is a loser like Al Gore making a name off climate change.
So apparently one of the apprentices of this guy is still around and making CZcams content! My daughter introduced me to it- It’s called “Midnight Science Club”. Pretty much the same vibe as this but in a studio that looks like something out of Mythbusters! 😅
Mom comes in. "What are you two doing now. What a mess!"
Then a close up shot of Mr. Wizard and the kid with a look of "Oh boy..". while 80's sitcom outtro music plays.
@@psygn0sis no way.
Thank you so much for uploading these and helping preserve this part of our childhoods. ♥️
True story: After smashing the apple and hot dog with a hammer, that kid grew up to be the comedian Gallagher
My favorite show growing up.
"You ever see a gas as a liquid?"
"Like for a car??"
"I see... "
Classic!!
well it was the 80s they couldn't say I farted and in my pants was a liquid
"here's a hot dog"
Kid:"rubs it"
His dad trained him well.
This was one of the shows that kept me returning to Nickelodeon!
The world was more interesting to kids before smartphones became pacifiers. I remember.
I’m so old.
the irony of you watching this and commenting on the same pacifier you are crying about
Such an amazing precursor to Bill Nye
Bill nye was a douche
Little did they know, that these principals would lead to the Challenger Disaster just 6 months later in Jan, 1986.
06:34 DONT!!! touch it!!!
Aahhhh.. I watched this every Saturday morning cartoons. Circa 1988. 😃
That kid is 60 now.
I did not expect the springy soldering. You learn something new every day!
Here's another obscure scientific fact:
Mr. Wizard > Bill Nye
🔬🤔⚗️🔭
No. This is a well-known scientific fact.
*Mr. Lizard:* _"We're gonna need another Timmy!"_
This is how I understood what happened in terminator 2 as a kid. Great T2 prequel
Mr. Wizard made quite a bit of money after he invented dry gas.
Luis Gomez was one of the contestants on this show
This was good stuff. Science stuff with no political BS attached.
Superstar: Don Herbert. Or he would probably say that it's chemistry and physics that are the superstars in this clip.
Best of all, they could have chosen anything for the studio. They could have chosen a school lab. But instead they chose a kitchen, because every kid watching probably has a kitchen.
I remember him and the great program in the 1960's when I was a teen.
Have you ever seen gas in liquid form?
Yeah, water
I think he meant have you seen a gas thats normally a gas at room temperature in liquid form
Alright ... about to go real random here, but at the first closeup on the kid, it suddenly hit me (and is confirmed when Mr. Wizard calls him "Christian") - the kid went on to play the lead actor in the infamously bad Canadian movie "The Final Sacrifice," which MST3K hilariously skewered.
Haha, crazy.
“It changes molecularly!” Ok, dude, you lost me but I’ll keep nodding :). JK, love for Sir Wiz; he’s why I’m a giant dork today.
I watched this on nickelodeon back in the day. Great educational show for young people.
"you ever see a gas in liquid form?"
Didn't think that question would be spared by the CZcams comments section.
So this is where Bones got his samples for surrenderdorothy. If you have no idea what I’m talking about I recommend this music
7.3L Shinigami
I had no idea that Mr Wizard made the worlds first Vape coil! #themoreyouknow
He always seems like he's in a bad mood, and ready to start yelling at the kids if they answer the wrong thing.
Excellent video. One small error, liquid nitrogen actually boils at −195.79 °C, not 290 degrees below Centigrade as mentioned. 290 degrees below zero centigrade is below absolute zero(-273 below zero centigrade) Absolute zero would be a point where all molecular motion ceases to exist.
Kid: “Wow, I wonder what would happen if I stuck my hand in the bowl?”
Mr. Wizard: “Now kid, I can’t afford to catch another case! Don’t put your hand in anything!””
😂😂😂😂😂
My brothers generation had Bill Nye. My generation had Mr. wizard. I watched it on Nickelodeon as often as I could as a kid
Mr. Wizard was so cool back then though me as an adult would not be near any liquid nitrogen. Geez that's dangerous.
Don Herbert looks so much younger than when I used to watch this as a child.
Came here from legion of skanks. Not disappointed.
Good old days very nostalgic
Mr. Wizard was the fucking shit
I got nervous when he asked the kid to bounce the ball. Like, you’re asking a nerd to do sports? Lol
At least he didnt say hey Jimmy hang onto this piece of Cobalt 40 wire and we will see if you become wildly radioactive
Good times ..
Loved it as a kid. And watching it with my kids now! They like it too over 30 years later.
Too
nitrogen boiling point :−195.795 °C
Yeah, I groaned a bit when he said -290C - that would be below absolute 0. Just shows how unscripted this was.
Now clean this mess up son! I run a spotless house! 😂
I love the fact that this show was never staged or scripted. It makes it that much better.
You've never seen some of the outtakes where he gets annoyed at the kids, have you?
he is the real proffesor proton
Damn STRAIGHT!!!
Mr Wizard is what you get when Mr Rogers and Bill Nye Perform the Fusion Dance
thanks for the Nostalgia. and Great good memories. amen.
very nice, thanks, kid is so lucky to get such a good exposure to such good experiments.. subscribed! and liked! :-)
and that kid grew up to be Gallagher.
This is the real professor proton.
Nothing like the good ol 80's looks like jack Nicholson
+caution0101 He does!
Mr Wizard was the absolute MAN!
I love mr. Wizard
I loved watching this show on the rare occasion I found it.
But, I feel like he could explain things better for children.
I probably watched each episode (at least 2x) YET I have NO RECOLLECTION of the safety message at the beginning of each episode!?
"Put your finger in there...see, we broke off your frozen finger. Get off the set, quick, Once your hand thaws, the pain will be unbearable."
I'll say it again..... Don said the temperature of the liquid nitrogen was -290C. Isnt absolute zero -273.15C? Jus' sayin...................
+Eric Bromberg he was probably saying -290F
No, he was wrong either way. Liquid nitrogen boils at -320F.
Could be -190, as 77 K is -196 C.
my favorite show as a kid
