Bill Nye the Science Guy

Pros: Scientific "Brain Food" for all ages
Cons: None, unless you can't stand science no matter how fun it is displayed

"Did you know: The left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and vice versa? Your brain has between 20 and 200 billion neurons? Your body can't make new brain cells?" Want to know more? Direct your questions to Bill Nye, the...

Pros: funny, intelligent, good for kids and parents both
Cons: none

This is another one of those shows that I was surprised to see listed as a kids' show. I like this show. My friend Michael who teaches high school physics likes this show. Everyone I know who has sat down to watch it has had a good time.

Pros: Educational AND entertaining
Cons: None

I discovered this show by accident when our first son was too young to understand or enjoy it. When I was done watching the show, I was quite impressed! Not only was the show full of wonderful information, but it was also entertaining.

My son...

Pros: keeps kids and adults attention - fun and interesting
Cons: sometimes so fast-paced it can be dizzying!

My kids turned me on to this show. I heard the television while I was puttering around the house and I noticed that my kids were actually PAYING ATTENTION to the show - so I started paying attention, too!

Bill Nye is the embodiment of our...

Pros: Captivating
Cons: none

My first impression of Bill Nye the Science Guy was that of pure amazement. Bill Nye emits an energy that is rarely seen but completely contagious. He seems to lure you into his world of science with a bait that catches your imagination. I was...

Pros: Great show and educational
Cons: not really that many

I have been watching Bill Nye since he started on PBS. You know as I remember being a kid in school science was never very fun for me. I always found myself sleeping during Ms. Gregory's science class. She tried real hard to teach us, but no matter what...

Pros: very educational and fun
Cons: can get a bit stupid in attempts at humor

I remember watching Mr. Wizard when I was younger. He would play almost every morning (in a very early time slot) on Nickelodeon. I would watch and learn, and I still to this day remember some of his most impressive experiments. Today's child audience...

Pros: entertaining, very educational
Cons: None

I NEVER liked science. I am a preschool teacher and while attending college, I dodged all the science classes that I could. I took only those that were required and those were too many. When I began teaching, my first job was fourth grade science. I...

Pros: Humorous, children involved, lively
Cons: Uses the Theory of Evolution only

Bill Nye the Science Guy is a really good science show for children. I originally saw this on PBS as a daily show. I used this show as a spring board for my homeschooling science curriculum. Once Bill told us about a certain principle of science, I...

Pros: Presents scientific concepts in a fun and entertaining format
Cons: none

I love Bill Nye. Ok, there I said it. I started watching his show when my son was way too young to care. He still is, but I've taped all the episodes so he won't miss a single thing! Many a night, at the dinner table, I would spout out some bit of...

Pros: great show
Cons: I don't have the disney channel

Wow I can't believe that this has actually happened. Bill Nye the science guy has combined humor with knowledge. Before him I would have not thought this to be possible but it is. He talks about science in a way that keeps people interested. He also...

Pros: very educational
Cons: none

I agree. Bill Nye the Science Guy is a great educational show for children and adults. It is a great teaching tool for educators. My husband and I belong to a few astronomy clubs, and have used some of the deminstrations from his show in our...

Pros: Lots of Information for all ages
Cons: Don't move "cause you'll miss something

Science has really changed for the better. It's exciting! Bill Nye is a genius. He gives the facts with fast moving experiments, entertainment, and up-to-date style.

The first time I paid any attention to Bill Nye was in a 3rd grade...

Pros: EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SHOW
Cons: None

When I was a child growing up my favorite show was Mr. Wizard, I loved that show. I fondly remember the experiments we all tried at home, especially growing crystals on charcoal and bluing - (gosh those were so pretty). Bill Nye has brought that show...

Pros: Funny, upbeat and engaging
Cons: I wish it aired more often

"Bill Nye The Science Guy " is a little too advanced for my five year old (though he does like it) but his mom is another matter. I find it fascinating and informative. I graduated from high school in 1983 and I should have learned this stuff a...
