- Huell takes a special look at the restoration of The Griffith Observatory. Built in 1935 and serving space curious Angelenos and the greater scientific community for almost 70 years, the Observatory required significant remodeling and expansion when it was closed for renovations in 2002. With the restoration completed this fall, this scientifically vital and historically significant architectural landmark re-emerges to serve well into the 21st Century. In this special one-hour episode Huell takes an insider’s tour with Griffith Observatory director Dr. Edward Krupp to see the state-of-the-art planetarium theater, new presentation theater and two brand-new exhibit areas. Join Huell as he takes an exclusive look at one of Los Angeles’s treasures before it was officially opened to the public on November 3rd, 2006.

Huell Howser deserves way more hype, this man is a legend.
There should be a 50ft gold statue of him next to the dinosaurs at Cabazon.
@@mikecarter8880 Black lives matter will tear down the statue calling it racist !
He sure was a legend.
I agree that Huell deserves much more attention than he ever got.I really enjoyed all of the shows that he did.
I think the best way to honor his memory is for local news and TV stations to focus only on local issues, and foster and encourage small and local businesses to have primetime to promote their business. Huell gave his show a lot of personal touch, like if he was a tour guide on a small town, but it happened to be the state of California as a whole.
Love Huell. He’s a California treasure and he helped to develop my love of Los Ángeles and California. Don’t think anyone could take his place.
Wonderful video. I am a Californian living overseas. To see these programs let’s me remember my favorite state and enjoy some of the things that I remember visiting. Great work by Mr Howser and the team. I thoroughly enjoyed the program.
I've visited there and can't wait to return! THANK YOU Mr. Griffith for leaving this Observatory to America.
long live public television for outstanding shows like this.
RIP Huell. Yet another gem for generations to come.
I immigrated to USA when I was 4 yrs old. I didn't speak English & our family never afforded cable TV.
Huell Howser was how I learned English and "American" mannerisms. Re-watching these videos have made me realize I learned a lot of my social skills through Huell too!
I met him a number of times at El Coyote (his and my favorite restaurant in LA). Being in his presence is truly magical, hard to describe. He tragically died at age 67 in 2013. He was truly a legend.
Possibly the best episode of California’s Gold ever. You can definitely pick up on Huell’s humble vibe in this episode. Growing up in southern Cal i spent much of my youth visiting the observatory. The coolest place ever😎
This is the place where I first learned about Nikola Tesla and the invention that he considered his most important one, his coil. The man deserves more attention and respect for what he achieved, and didn't deserve to pass on in obscurity. The observatory itself is my most favorite place in town to go to, and I've had the good fortune to visit many times there by myself and with friends!
Huell Howser is California’s Gold ✨
That is the title of one of Huell's videos, they are all gold, though.
His enthusiasm is marvelous!
We truly miss this man at our household. His innocence and naive manner masking his incredible ability to disarm anyone. Thanks
Well said😎

My Father came up to this observatory in about 1939 or 40, and then later on our family spent many wonderful weekend excursions up at Griffith Park and the observatory...my Father just loved this place, as he thought that Nature was just wonderful to learn about.
Miss this guy so very much. RIP Huell Howser ❤️
Loved his style of asking questions as if he had no clue, so people that he was interviewing could explain their stories. True genius.
Huell is an icon! The enthusiasm he has is unlike anyone
i wish somebody loved me as much as this guy loves the observatory
That guy was fired up for the observatory.
I enjoy KCET at all times.
Being that I was born and raised in California, I should've been interviewed by Huell, and given airtime on KCET. I have a lot of stories to give on my experiences in the state, especially when the members of my family have been here for multiple generations, and, therefore, make up the history of California and LA. We're California's Gold, too, along with Huell!
This show was outstanding. What a municipal treasure. Thanks for including "Rebel..." also. Thank you!
Huell is a National Treasure...RIP 🙏
Thank you for sharing! Sure miss Huell Houser.
Amazing and overwhelming amount of science under one roof.
Dr Krupp is a rock star.
Huell has met his match in infectious enthusiasm..
I have been watching Huell for YEARS and never saw this video
That was absolutely fantastic! I have been to the old Griffith park observatory and was fascinated by it. The new upgraded version is just beyond belief. Huell Howser was truly a great interviewer and knew all the right questions to ask. The doctor was a wealth of information and nailed all of Huell’s questions.
I love Huell Howser ‘ s way and our new view of the Milky Way ‼️
I’d totally dig watching a solar eclipse through the safe sun viewer.
Thank you for this excellent review of our newly renovated Griffith Observitory👍👍👆
Rest in peace Huell Howser.
Priceless! Thank you Dr Krupp for your analogy & Calif Gold
I first knew "Herr Doktor Krupp" while attending El Camino College in Torrance, CA... This is a wonderful video, Dr. Krupp is a marvelous explainer and public resource and Huell Howser has always been a wonderful interviewer... This is the best video article on the Griffith Observatory that I have ever viewed!
I have such love and fondness for the Griffith Observatory. It seemed almost magical when I was a child, and even today in my twilight years brings me back. The architecture is amazing, and the displays even more so. I hope it continues to inspire and educate well into the future, and I feel privileged to have been born in a time when such things are possible. On a sad note I think I'd be a little remiss if I didn't mention Huell. He was a transplant to California but became something of a California icon himself. His demise form prostate cancer was a blow to his many fans, and he is missed greatly.
Haven't been to the Observatory in so long need to go again soon!
thank you for this great video God bless you
My father met Huell for the first time at Farmer's Market about twenty years ago or so, and put in some words for him while being interviewed about his experiences there. And both my father and I had the good fortune of hearing him speak at the LA Convention Center back in 2010 while the travel convention was taking place. Excellent speaker and interviewer who could really put on the charm. Hard to believe he's been gone for the last ten years. 35:43
I learnt more in this one hour video than I have in my entire 15 years of school :D
That final sequence with twinkle twinkle was truely magical
Thanks for sharing guys! 😃
That's a huge place.... Beautiful landscape
what a powerhouse of an interview. This man Huell needs a Pulitzer in commemoration. The way he is so intrigued and interested organically is phenomenal. Hats off to Huell !!!!! And just like this interview he's in the stars now! Love you bro !!
This was a bit of time travel for me because I got to visit in '09 for the first JJ Abrams Star Trek premiere. I think I only spent something like two hours at the planetarium (probably half of that in a show) but it made a big impression on me as vivid as anything else. Like we saw guys from LOST at the after party - no big deal really compared to the Observatory.
in particular it's great to see a bit of things I don't recall getting a chance to look at like the Camera Obscura. And the planetarium's seat covers still have plastic on them! I think this video just about does the place justice - it was incredibly clean and shining all about.
Never been to observatory and lived here all my life.
Amazing.Interesting.Pertinent questions. Thxs 4 upload !!
What a great place,took some astronomy classes there,Wednesday night's 1970s,got too hand grind some scope lens downstairs,not too mention all the stars we got too see,Thank you, Lois hall,Larry's mother,my best friend,from the old l.a. days,Lois was Liberian at will Rodgers elementary school, Lynwood, california,late 1960s, 1970s, thanks for the good times, mrs.hall,and God bless you and yours, love devarskinner!!!
I hiked from the merry go round parking lot to the observatory , I had made a playlist on UA-cam for the Hike but instead I ended up listening to this episode while I walked
Love this place…
We miss you Huell
As an addendum to what I texted to the two gentlemen in question about the Bible, the Big Bang, how long ago the universe was created and all, our knowledge of this world, the universe as a whole, how it was created, how long ago that took place and even our knowledge of time and space itself, all of that remains open to fluidity. Nothing remains fixed when it comes to our knowing and learning of anything and everything. What we know and learn about anything and all things and matters always change, and continue in a state of transition.
To correct what I said below, I forgot to write the verbs in the third person singular. I wanted to say that whatever we know and learn always changes and continues in a state of transition.
That was an excellent presentation.
*We Love You Huell...*
I love these guys
I really wish that Huell would have done a shoot at the downtown L.A. Tommy's hamburger joint at Rampart. Now, THERE'S a story! Some "B-roll" of the restrooms would add even more spice than their special chili recipe provides.
I was just up there, but it was closed. I’ll have to go back.
To correct what I said below, and to put it more simply, whatever we know and learn always changes, and stays in a state of transition.
remembering *_Huell Howser_*
I spent many happy hours there.
Totally amazing.Tony
my favorite thing in LA
Bang on!!
excellent!
Excellent. Wish my back could still handle a plane flight. We here in S.F. have a digital projector now, and the contrast of the show is nothing like the old Zeiss projection. We don't get the blacks you get from the old projection system. Naturally, the projectors don't create the blacks, but the digital lighting adds a fog to the surface of the dome. That new Zeiss looks just awe inspiring....
What a great watch, need to make the trek up from San Diego soon.
As of 2013 this Griffith Observatory Special continues to air on KCET.
WONDER PROGRAMMER
@michaelbauers8800 Dr. Krupp mentioned that the observatory has been filmed in at least 300 motion pictures since its inception in 1935.
Have a nice day Mister Howser and friends
Astronomy rocks 🪨
In Ancient Egypt, all iron used was obtained exclusively from Meteors; iron was regarded as sacred.
Check out our interview with Dr. Krupp from February 2022 on our channel!
i love this series! RIP Huell Howser
@gregorygarcia7807 Huell Howser was from Tennessee. He mentioned that on certain episodes sometime ago.
What Happened to Turdlock who uploaded all the Huell Howser videos? I guess KCET hit him with an infringement complaint. At least they left the show on.
this was a filming location for The Terminator 1984
I wish I had Huells job
Galileo provided incontrovertible evidence for his assertions
This was aired in 2008
@mohamadfaiz6935 The observatory closed down in 2002. Huell mentioned that it was 5 years since he visited when it when that happened, so, this episode was taped in 2007 then broadcast in 2008, was that it?!
UA-cam Vidja's the discovery .
How do I find the North Star?
I wonder how many movies this has been featured in? I have see it in quite a few.
Rebel Without a Cause is the most well known probably
Terminator part 1, and Jurassic Park come to mind.
once I saw Saturn through that telescope !!!
I parked no problem depends on the day
Davey. How you doing?
the Assyrian's are the first
shame you don't have anything for the Assyrians!
The universe is only two trillion tenths of a second old “at best.”
Not millions of years!
Created by God!!
Tell him that's the wish
Parking isn't free anymore however.
San Francisco's California Academy of Science used to have a planetarium just as cool as this. But Mayor Gavin Newsom gutted the planetarium and now (well, the last time I was there in 2015) it had replaced it with a propaganda film, just a video really, played on part of what was once the dome of the planetarium, all about climate change and how we humans are ruining the planet and how climate change is something we must do something about. It's not really anything any person can do a thing about. Yet the Academy doesn't try to affect the world in a far more easily accessible and, as far more influential on mankind's existence, obesity and isolation/depression and violent crime in an increasingly sidelined black American community. Newsom has a sick agenda.
Covid- 19 friendly
Don't tell me he passed away 😢

Why is this man constantly shouting 🤯.
No reason to carry that mic 😂
Really hard to watch/listen to. Interesting topic though.
I miss Huell's program, but I had to stop viewing this when the guy started talking about the Big Bang Theory. As a Christian and Bible believer, it doesn't fit in my paradigm.
@KB6YAF maybe the bible holds nothing of value ,
Such dogma narrows your world view.
Lmao
Greek Revival blah blah blah... smh. In other words it was a defensive tower/shrine that was turned into a observatory.
Can you elaborate on what you mean?
Huell sounds like he's straight form Georgia. I've always thought that.
@walterlahaye2128 and @KB6YAF One can't be a literalist when it comes to the interpretation of all the words mentioned in the Bible. Certain words are expressed in plain language while others are expressed metaphorically. Christ himself taught that to his disciples, and the interpretation of the words depends on the context at hand within the books.
