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?

Several are available to watch online through that website [rigb.org], stretching back to 1968.
I watched the 1978 lectures a year or two ago, and enjoyed them. (That was the first time that the Royal Institution had done a Christmas Lecture on mathematics since their inauguration in 1825: many had said that pure maths couldn't be made interesting enough for such a public lecture.)
