    Bill is the best! I wish they make more shows like this... a real classic for school children and for anyone interested in science. He finds the coolest inventions and helps youth find a passion for science while showing us cool science facts. A remarkable scientist he is. His lab is great too. I love this show for giving me an appreciation and a deep love for science. He is fantastic for you to learn from him!moreless

    I have to admit--Bill Nye was cool. He was annoying, but educational and cool at the same time. The skits weren't ha-ha hilarious, but they were clever, and sometimes my geophysics teacher would (if the Nye episode dealt with the subject we were in) show an episode before we took our notes. It was too bad the show ended around my time, and what was worse: she showed Bill's sequel instead, or, as I like to call it, Executive: The Series. The skits in his sequel were one-note and wooden, unfunny and not clever in the most--added by the seeming woodenness of the Science Guy himself and the actors in the 'skit'.

    Stick to the original, the one, the only Bill Nye, teacher.moreless

    Science was my favorite school subject in school so I was eager to check this out. I like the combo of the TV and science aspects to make things more interesting (not to mention funny). Bill Nye is indeed a very funny guy both intentional and unintentionally. I managed to record about 17 episodes on one VHS tape (some of them are incomplete) and I watch it today every now and then. I even used a few episodes in class! Among my favorites include Momentum, Food Web, and Matter. I bet the kids in this program are already out of college and have some science majors.moreless

    I'm such a nerd, I still geek out when I watch this show. My grandfather and I use to watch this on pbs all the time together. Then I entered school, and I was happy that I got to watch it through out the years. Heck, I even got to watch it in the eleventh grade. Sure, it's corny at times...But it's too amazing to really fret about. I still got the "it's blubberrrr" little song in my head. This was one of the shows that got me caring about learning. Without the wonderful program, I don't think I'd be the same person I am today.moreless

    The first time I ever saw this show was in school, I was into some of the cool experiments they did on the show, and I did some of them at home :P, this show kept me entertained with all the hijinks and silliness Bill Nye did! I even loved some of the fake commercials they did during the show. It's too bad they don't show it at my school anymore, I'm guessing we got too big for it?,So I'm hoping to buy some of the video tapes from Ebay. I don't like any educational shows, but basicly just this one! Also I never knew this show aired on Disney before! I really miss this show, and I hope it comes back... :(moreless
