How sad. Though to be honest, I didn't even know he was still alive.

I know. It sucks. :( Majorly.

I wonder whatever happened to Bill Nye the Science Guy?

He started doing commentary for some Robot Wars show or something and now I have no idea what he's up to.

I was telling Nikki about this yesterday, she didn't know who he was either.

Deprived children.

I came up with a good description of him. Bill Nye+Mr Rodgers.

That's how Craig described him. I still don't know who he is though.

It was a really old show. I remember it being in black&white.

I watched it in color. He did the show for a long long while. It used to come on Nickalodean (however the fuck that's spelled) at like 5 in the morning.

Oddly enough, I was rummaging through some memorobelia the other day and found an autograph from Mr. Rogers from at least 20 years ago.

Never watched Mr. Wizard though. To be fair, I'd probably trade Bill Nye to get both Wizard and Rogers back.
