I used to watch it in the late 80s/early 90s, when it was called "Star Hustler".

While i'm not really an astronomy buff myself, Mr. Horkheimer seemed like a nice man and i'm sorry to hear of his passing. I think the info he provided on "Star Gazer" was very useful and appreciated by those with an interest in astronomy. On a personal note, my maternal grandfather was once married to a women whose maiden name was Horkheimer. According to him, she was not related to Jack Horkheimer though.
