History Series / BillNyeTheScienceGuy

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: "Well, that's our show. Thanks for watching. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go (do some activity related to the episode)."

He also has a series of Website/YouTube videos called ''Consider the Following'' that are located on the [[http://www.youtube.com/user/planetarysociety Planetary Society's channel]] and continue his mission of spreading science. Furthermore, he's also created another YouTube channel including The Eyes of Nye as well as all 100 episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4mokV2xmoTqS85lxccjnYg

One of the best examples of the kids' ScienceShow genre from the '90s. Each episode is centered on an area of scientific study, varying in level of focus from a single concept to an entire discipline. The show's eponymous host, dressed like a cross between a MadScientist and a birthday party magician, would teach the subject with a genuine level of excitement and interest most men reserve for the SuperBowl.

As it ran during the same stretch as ''BeakmansWorld'', the two shows get [[DuelingShows compared often,]] though ''Beakman's World'' tended to leer more on other aspects of knowledge than simply on science.

Then, in almost every episode, they'd take a well-known song (usually AlternativeRock), cut the song length in half, then replace the lyrics with [[EducationalSong lyrics related to the show's topic]]. And a guy on Website/YouTube uploaded [[http://www.youtube.com/user/NyeTunes every single one of them]]. On three occasions, actual rock artists did the song: Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the United States of America did a parody of his band's hit "Peaches", ThePosies reworked their song "Flavor of the Month" with lyrics about ocean exploration, and grunge rockers {{Mudhoney}} did a cover of the show's theme song.

* MadLibsCatchphrase: "It's the/our X of SCIENCE!"

* ExcitedKidsShowHost

* {{Transplant}}: Bill Nye from Almost Live. Billy Quan(Once again played by Darrel Suto) from the "Mind your Manners Will Billy Quan" sketch also joins in with Almost Live host John Keister still continuing to give him a hard time.

He also has a series of Website/YouTube videos called ''Consider the Following'' that are located on the [[http://www.youtube.com/user/planetarysociety Planetary Society's channel]] and continue his mission of spreading science.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Bill has several. Notably, "Take a look at this!" before showing off models and experiments, "For crying out loud!" during his more ranty moments, and "Isn't that wild?" after dispensing some interesting information.
* ChannelHop: Let's see. It started on PBS, then hopped to Disney, only to get ScrewedByTheNetwork, and it's reruns ended up on Noggin before Noggin itself got merged into Nick Jr.

* NamesTheSame: Bill Nye was also the name of a famous (at the time) 19th-century humorist.

* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: Happens whenever the camera gets damaged or broken on set. Most memorably when a red-kneed tarantula was flicked onto the cameraman, causing him to drop the camera!

This show ran on PBS in the mid-1990s, but Bill Nye is still on TV. He has a series of specials called ''The Eyes of Nye'', which are much closer in form to a TVDocumentary series (like ''Series/{{Nova}}'') than his previous show. Today, he's an outspoken environmental activist. His series on Planet Green, ''Stuff Happens'', is a show about the unintended environmental consequences of the stuff we do and use. He also occasionally guest-stars on the reality show ''Living With Ed''; he's really Ed Begley Jr.'s neighbor, within a few miles, and the two have an ongoing rivalry to "out-green" each other. Bill Nye is also the go-to guy to explain interesting science stories on Cable news Outlets {{CNN}} and {{MSNBC}}.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The "T-minus 7 seconds" in the intro occurs about 7 seconds before the end.

** "Birds do it. Bees do it. Practically every animal does it. Let's do some right now!" It's the introduction to the episode on Animal Locomotion.

* AdamWesting: [[TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross]] appeared on an episode about the human eye painting a giant eyeball with "happy little rods and cones".

-->'''Bill''': If you were going to eat a hot dog the same way a spider eats its food, first you'd wrap it up. ''(Pops a hot dog wrapped in a croissant into a food processor)'' Then you'd soak in in digestive juices. ''(Squirts mustard on the hot dog)''\\

'''Narrator''': No. Bill, don't--''(Food processor turns on) ''OH NO. Bill, c'mon! Aw! Oh, man...\\

** '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuqLp6PwkzQ THE TARANTULA'S GOIN' IN MY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS!!!]]'''

** Parodied with a SpoofAesop when Bill goes off to demonstrate how much empty space is in an atom (the nucleus is at the lab, the first electron shell is on a beach several miles away). Bill goes racing off in a car with the camera running on fast-forward and the announcer remarks, "Don't drive like this at home, kids! You could leave tire marks on the living room carpet!"
