Bill Nye: The Science Guy

Show Summary

Comedian/scientist Bill Nye stars as the genial host of this popular, fast-moving show designed to get kids interested in the science of everyday, and some not-so-everyday, things. On a full range of subjects, including ecology, biology, chemistry and physics, Nye gives an easy-to-understand, yet informative lesson that both kids and their parents can enjoy. The series has aired on Disney Channel, PBS, and Noggin in the years 1993-2003. It is currently syndicated by Instructional Television (ITV) in 4-hour blocks to PBS affiliates. Check local PBS stations for broadcast times. (Bill Nye biography information has been to his People Page.)moreless

    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
  • Who'd of thought that science and TV could be made fun?

    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
