I only saw him on Letterman, never on his show. I did watch another show on the local PBS station called "Experiments in Physics" or something like that, hosted by a crazy haired mad professor. That show got me grounded more than once.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Well, I am old enough to remember his original show.(barely). I would never miss it.

I still remember how to break a ruler with a single sheet of newspaper.

AWW man I remember watching his shows all the time. I learned how to make a cannon out of paper cups that could fire a ping pong ball, and other stuff. like an old tennis ball baffle gun.

he was a cool guy, and made science "fun" for the under 12 crowd. he had to be the precursor to all those kid hosted shows now, and that "science guy"


<> RIP Don, you will be missed.

I don't know what to put here yet.
