Mr. Wizard was the man. My favorite two episodes were when he put a rose in dry ice, and the one where he hooked a fork to each connection on a car battery and then stuck the forks in a hot dog and it cooked.
Also, an off-topic, food related oddity: If you put an M&M in a shot glass of warm water, the "m" will eventually slide off.
