before that pinwheel bullshit came on.

There are other shapes besides circles that you can affix an axle to and it rolls just as smooth. I remember seeing that episode as a kid and being flabbergasted.

Yes, I even remember the experiment they're doing. They put an old fashioned rotating alarm siren in a vacuum to show that you couldn't hear it when there was no air inside the jar.

Sometimes he was so mean to the kids when they messed up. A great show, but I would not like to be a kid making mistakes on there.
WoopDeFrickenDoo
no he wasn't. Was he? I don't remember him being mean, I thought he was the greatest, right after inspector gadget.
Exyr
He wasn't mean he just wasn't happy. It was that grandfather's disappointment.
