    Default Bill Nye the Science Guy

    Bill Nye the Science Guy is a series of 85 1/2 hour long programs designed to make science accessible and interesting to kids by relating science to their interests and everyday activities. Basic concepts are presented in a humorous and exciting format. The program’s host, Bill Nye, conducts demonstrations and experiments in a variety of studio and field locations. Each program features a diverse cast of children, scientists and celebrity guests.

    Anyway, have you watched an episode at one point? Even especially during a science class?

    Yes, those were the days. Anyway, he does make science seem pretty cool, so that's cool. I miss Bill Nye. I hope he would make more new episodes in the future.

    Anyway, this thread is all about Bill Nye! Talk about your favorite Science guy moments, and what not!

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Oh yeah, we watched the in Physics all the time (twice). I think one was about gravity and he just dropped bowling balls a lot and the other was a about sound waves.

    But there was much more exciting things to do in Physics so I cannot say I liked him much. Just spent my time watching the teacher set fire to tables for peoples birthdays and electocuting the trouble maker in our class. He'd always life and say "Haha, it is the amps that kill you!"

    Bill Nye :<3:

    I used to watch his show every day when it was on PBS here. I really loved the music video parodies that were done at the end of the episode, though in retrospect they were corney as hell.

    Great stuff.

    I used to watch him every now and then in various public school science classes, but I must say that learning actual material was far more interesting to me than having random facts and lay terms thrown at me by some TV personality. However, I think he's a cool guy.

    Heh, my favourite episodes were the ones where they were talking about the forms of matter and that guy kept going "Solid" when solid was said. Or when Bill kept going "What?" when talking aboot electricity. Heh, it's sorta hard to describe a show I havn't seen in 10 years. :P

    He's doing a new show that I look forward to watch soon:

    Apparently he covers many "mature" subjects including cloning and stem cell stuff.

    Good topic Proto, by the way.

    Watched. It. Every. Day.

    Man I loved that show. For some reason, the only thing I remember is he used cheese to represents atoms once, cutting it into smaller and smaller pieces until he couldn't anymore. XD
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Me and my family would watch it every Saturday morning, but we never watched it in science class.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
