Quality never goes out of style...The Curiosity Show, a 70s and 80s TV show from Oz that introduced kids to basic science, is enjoying a YouTube-based revival.

Thankfully, the creators got control of the content and have put their work up on YouTube.

The story at ABC.

Highly entertaining, and better yet, engaging curious young minds in the possibilities of the world around them. They even have some episodes in German, which I never knew. Generally aimed at the pre-high-school age, just using basic household props mainly. Puzzles, illusions, basic household chemistry and physics, etc.

Their YouTube channel is here if you've got some kids or are just curious yourself.

To kick off the discussion: what are some other similar shows that should be revived?

    two problems, first it started with an advert of women cleaning house in bra and panties.

    I ran into a different problem, for me it did NOT start with an advert of a women cleaning house in bra and panties. Yo AC, explain how your online history is getting the 'cool' ads? I'd never install an adblocker again if my ads didn't suck (not a vacuum cleaner pun... probably).

    Also I'm disappointed no one tried a classic rickroll. Maybe in 30 years when rickrolling is 40 years old we can have a reminiscence SN story about it, and that will be a darn good day.

    ..I didn't say they were young/pretty women in bra and panties...
    And I have no idea what I did to deserve that YouTube ad: never bought underwear, cleaning products or vacuum cleaners on the web.
