TV scientist, i.e., someone who talks about science on TV. Not necessarily a Ph.D.

Grew up watching Mr. Wizard.

His show was one of few shows I watched regularly on Nickelodeon all those years ago - other shows I watched then included Danger Mouse and You Can't Do That On Television.

Mr. Wizard easily, but Beakman's a close second. Most of the rest I'm relatively neutral on, though I've always thought Bill Nye was kind of a shit, even as far back as when he was doing the Speedwalker sketches on Almost Live.

Also, I'd completely forgotten the entire existence of Newton's Apple as a show for the last 3 decades, so thanks for that blast from the past. Looking it up, it seems like it ran way longer than I ever realized. In my head that's very much an 80s show (and not even late 80s, when I probably would have gotten into it, but earlier in the 80s when it never quite appealed to me). I can only assume my local PBS station dropped it, or it was on at weird times, because the 90s seems like prime time for me to be into something like that.

But since I'm on the PBS vibe now, I'm going to throw this into the mix, even though he's not on your list:

I used to watch that show all the time.

But are talking just real people or can it be a character on a tv show? And does it have to be a show exclusively devoted to science?

Doesn't have to be a real person (Ms Frizzle). but someone who hosts an science education show, like Carl Sagan or Bill Nye. Not someone who just is a scientist but doesn't actually teach people stuff, like Spock or Rick.

Oddly enough, I seem to recall the quality science programming for kids being on during the day when kids would normally be in school. The only time I seem to remember catching stuff like Newton's Apple was either during summer, break weeks, or when I was home sick.
