Did anyone ever watch Bill Nye? (Outside of school?) For fun.. and what's become of him? I used to LOVE Bill Nye. I think I even swore marrying him at one point.. (Hmm...)

Whatever happens..happens.

Yay! A Bill Nye fan!

The last time I saw him he was doing some new science show on Denver's PBS channel. I can't remember what it was called though...

Bill Nye was taken from PBS (Yay, [almost] no commercials!) and put on another station (SPAM!) a long time ago. Before it got put there, I watched it pretty heavily.

You put what in my Power Mac?

I used to like watching ol' Bill Nye, it's too bad he's not still doing the show.

I preffered Mr. Wizard. His show was like the Anarchists Cookbook for 1st garders.

My brother and I used to watch Bill Nye all the time – I haven't seen him on in ages.

At last he came to a door, with these words in glowing emeralds: THE END OF THE WORLD. He did not hesitate. He opened the door and stepped through.

Quote

On February 3, 2006, Nye married Blair Tindall. Tindall and Nye had been engaged for five months. The pair exchanged watches instead of rings "as a symbol," Nye explained, "of man’s reckoning with time"

Sorry µ...

That watch thing is cool though.

I liked the episode where he explained the solar system and the theory of relativity with action figures, a small rocket and a little white beard for one of the action figures. That one was cool...

I miss Bill...

Bill Nye, the Science Guy! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!

I really didn't watch it that much though. I was more of a Magic School Bus kid.

Unfortunately, I remember watching the show, but I was too young to remember everything. The same goes for Captain Planet- I can remember the theme song, but not the show!

I'm going back to the ones that know, with whom I can be what I want to be

I managed to remember that if the sun was the size of a basketball, and earth was 3 feet away from the sun, Alpha Centauri would be 2.3 km (1.4 mi) away.

I remember a pretty cool episode on sound waves where he plugged an electric bass into a machine that displayed the sound waves. I also remember a Bill Nye computer game where you had to stop a meteor from crashing into the earth.

There were several versions. Is this the one that runs on a Mac II without glitching, or is this something a bit more recent?

Was it the one where you had to grab number "drops" to get a number between x and y so you could progress in a level?

I've played several versions of it, myself. Good times.

Spell-a-saurus anyone?

Number Munchers kicked massive amounts of ass, second only to The Oregon Trail for games on the ol' Apple IIe system.
