Mr. Wizard demonstrates the basic geology of rocks to Buzz, by creating a tabletop volcano and explaining the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Cast: Don Herbert (Mr. Wizard) and Bruce Podewell (Buzz). From IMDB. Very good explications and easy to understand. Mr. Wizard don`t make a show of I, Me and Myself. In the 30 minutesd show there is no commercial. Very enjoyable even today.

… and still fun to watch after 55 years. I was somewhat disappointed when I learned that the children on his show just acted out what they've been rehearsing for hours prior to the live telecast. But then again it was silly to assume otherwise. Original air date was August 7, 1954.
