The show, which aired daily, featured a true variety of entertainment: singing, dancing, guest stars, classic… More Disney cartoons, serials, and a group of talented kids who became overnight sensations-the Mouseketeers. In 1993 the Australian Science Foundation for Physics established a fellowship in his memory."Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?" Next to Howdy Doody (which it helped unseat), The Mickey Mouse Club was the defining children's television program of the 1950's.

He set traps to keep people on their toes he would ask members of the audience to verify that a glass was empty and then berate them for not noticing that it was full of air.Īustralian newspapers published a daily question posed by Miller, a ‘Millergram’, and also an answer to the previous day’s question. Each session had a strong element of drama and was punctuated loudly with phrases such as ‘Watch it now! Watch it!’ or ‘He who is not stirred by the beauty of it is already dead!’. Bubbling with infectious enthusiasm not normally associated with the serious scientist, he brought each presentation to life with details of the history of the subject and the origins and meanings of the words used to describe it. He preferred to encourage his audience to seek the answers. Delighting in showing ‘how Nature worked its wondrous ways’, he rarely offered any detailed explanations.
He also presented a television program entitled ‘Why Is It So?’ for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In addition to recording science shows in the USA, he appeared on popular television programs, including ‘The Groucho Marx Show’, Walt Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ and Johnny Carson’s ‘The Tonight Show’.įrom 1962 to 1986 Miller made twenty-seven visits to Australia, primarily to give demonstrations and lectures at the annual science school for high-school students in the physics department at the University of Sydney, organised by Professor Harry Messel.
