He was never meant to be a comedian, he was however amazing at getting 8 to 14 year olds engaged in scientific curiosity. His scientific authority was never the point, generating interest at a time when nobody, i mean nobody, in North America was pushing against the hate for geeks in school. The 90s were not fun for academic minded kids, their torture is well documented in pop culture, but he gave them some refuge. The editing similarities can be traced to the kids who watched this, raising kids who watched icarly, to the explosion of social media without much history research. He was a nerd before it was cool to claim you were a nerd

I liked Bill Nye as a kid because he made science fun in a real world way. For many kids, science is a daunting concept, particularly with all the data that is involved in scientific research. Personally, I loved chemistry and physics in school. Didn't really care much for biology, though. For some reason that particular subject just didn't click (for lack of a better term).

[@jwb52z9]

If you look at statistics, science seems to be only "daunting" for American children who aren't wealthy.

He did well with his art of engaging young minds. Of course, many teachers excel at this in my opinion. I remember that he continuously encouraged the audience to "try it".

The character of Professor Proton is based on Mr. Wizard, an earlier children's science presenter.

[@dustinwagner1776]

I loved Mr. Wizard's World. Thanks for reminding me.

[@allanrichardson1468]

Mr. Wizard, the screen name of Don Herbert, hosted a low budget science show for kids in the 1950s when I was a child. The show was almost entirely filmed in studio, a typical home setting in which several child actors visited and did the experiments under his direction. The show was gone by the time I was in Junior High (Middle) school, but it was rebooted on the Nickelodeon cable network in the 1990s, when my son was at the age to enjoy it. Mr. Herbert was still youthful looking, with the same low key personality, but the home style segments were interspersed with more stock films such as spacecraft launches, etc. And of course, all in color. The Professor Proton character, played by the late great Bob Newhart, would have been on the air in the time portrayed, when Sheldon was a child, and was based on the second era of Mr. Wizard. When the Big Bang Theory was being produced, for some reason Don Herbert could not be a guest star (I think he may have been deceased by them), so they cast Bob Newhart as the older, retired Professor Proton with the adult Sheldon.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I grew up on Mr. Wizard. My kids grew up on Bill Nye. Fond memories of fun science for us all.

[@tltatt]

@@allanrichardson1468 Bob Newhart is 90 years old still alive. The Professor Proton character passed away during The Big Bang Theory's run, but Bob Newhart continued to play the character in Sheldon's dreams/imagination.

[@allanrichardson1468]

tltatt Good to know. I thought I heard an obituary in the last year or two. I hope he has a happy, healthy, and long retirement. I don’t know what happened to Don Herbert (Mr. Wizard), but he was much older, and died in 2007 (born in 1917). For this and possibly for legal reasons, the TBBT producers made up a show and character “a bit like” Mr. Wizard.

[@wabash9000]

The best days in school were always the days that the teacher didn't feel like teaching and would just roll a tv into the classroom and throw a few episodes of Bill Nye on to waste some time.

[@BarrySteelman]

The budget was actually pretty small the first season. I supplied a few of the experiments myself. Bill brought in some, and Jim and Erin (the producers) helped Bill build the rest. The "Lab" was in an old warehouse by the King Dome in Seattle.

[@lawrencedavis9246]

Barney the Dinosaur?! Why would you do that to her, and to us? Treason! At least the Teletubbies made you wonder what those mushrooms were that you had in your omelete. I'll second the nomination for Bob Ross, ASMR for television before anyone heard of ASMR. Oh, and he teaches painting, which is what that incredibly popular television show was about.

[@daybeau7819]

Forget reacting to Siskel & Ebert. Diane and ED could do their own battling reviews (maybe some in which Editor Diane follows a rambling--but sincere--Diane with nothing but a pithy facial expresion).

[@Drewit1]

Lawrence Davis Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. Though I’ll admit that the Treason bit is a bit much. I grew up watching Barney when he was very popular and I found myself quite enjoying his energy and songs. I just wanted to hear what Diane thought of him from just watching the old programs.

Bill Bill Bill Nye the Science Guy! Favorite part of seeing the huge TV rolled into the class. The last one is from when he started doing a reboot if you like on one of the streaming services. Science in the US consisted of Bill Nye and The Magic School Bus.

[@palladiamorsdeus]

I feel like I was one of the few young people who didn't love Bill Nye. I like him even less now. Did love Mr. Wizard as a kid, though.

[@Dreamwriter4242]

I saw him when he first got started as "Bill Nye The Science Guy": Local Seattle variety/sketch comedy show "Almost Live". He would come in once in a while and do an extreme science experiment, meant to entertain adults. He also would actually take part in some of the comedy skits (ie, he had a recurring superhero character "Speed Walker").

[@johnjdumas]

Engineers are a type of scientist most have master's degrees and some do have their PhDs. You need all the experimental, statistical, and mathematical knowledge before you can think of specializing.

10:22 An anvil is primarily used in the blacksmithing trade. It's usually made of cast steel and before welding was a thing, an anvil was used in the forging of swords, armor, even horseshoes. As for size, they're as large as is practical. The higher their inertia, the more efficiently energy from a striking tool (like a hammer) is transferred to the work piece (like a shield or breastplate).

[@heavyd8451]

Dolph Lundgren is more qualified to be a scientist than Bill Nye is. He's a better actor, too.

[@Delivery_Boy_Roy]

Bill is still good of course ;)

[@crossman6924]

Billy Nye's show when I was a kid, along with Mythbusters as a teen/YA, is what inspired me to love STEM, and to enter the engineering industry

[@ballybunion9]

Bill Nye is an actor pretending to be a science expert.

[@Dreamwriter4242]

He's a mechanical and aerospace engineer and inventor who used to work at Boeing. Notice the topics of the show - physical forces like Lift and Motion, things he would indeed be an expert in. And even weather and the climate are things that he would have had to know about when working on new airplanes.

In Canada, we have Dr. David Suzuki with his CBC television program, "The Nature of Things with David Suzuki" and Bob McDonald with his CBC radio program "Quirks and Quarks". The nickle is one of three coins named for the metal it is made of. A copper is one cent, a nickle is five cents and a silver dollar is one hundred cents.

[@Motorhead-y3]

Hes a fake TV personality he steals everything.

[@Cherryarks]

Stop lying

[@DesertBloomBettas]

Bill Nye was big for us american kids in the 90's, not because it was on tv, but because it was often shown in actual science class in school - and when you're stuck in a boring class learning about all these big words like photosynthesis, getting to sit back and watch bill nye was far more entertaining than reading from a textbook. Any time Bill Nye came on, we were thrilled - so a lot of us remember him fondly. I'm 36 now, and I'd still sit down and watch some Bill Nye if someone asked me if I wanted to. lol

[@danielhammond3]

I keep hearing my 6th grade self saying “Bill Nye the Russian Spy”

[@zachariousmccool5768]

High school......Physics.....Junior year.......teacher put on Bill Nye.....I sigh and smile hahah

[@ramonashearer7241]

He is an actor not a real scientist.

[@rachel1760]

Yes he is, look up his education

[@Theringodair]

They aired this in Singapore when I was a kid. I loved it.

[@kateealer7]

You should try "Mr. Wizard!" He's like Bill Nye, but he didn't end-up a jerk-faced hack trying to tell a lot of the now grown kids who watched him that he's WAYYYYY smarter than them.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I loved watching his show when I was a kid. It took me a while to get into it, I wasnt originally amused by the way the show was produced. But I enjoyed the information given. Probably helped me in school more than I realized. I usually did well in science class in school.

[@M-S_4321]

Science - good. Bill Nye - not good. (having a high IQ and easy understanding of difficult ideas helped make me a very jaded child before I reached double digits) Today's world - insane.😒

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

Bill Nye's original blue lab coat is on display in the Smithsonian museum in Washington DC next to Oscar the grouch and Mister Rogers sweater.

[@manxkin]

Mechanical engineer turned "comedian" turned "science communicator". Disneyized science. Cringe.

[@Markle2k]

Disney (in the guise of Buena Vista Television) bought the distribution rights. They had nothing to do with the production.

[@anthonyreed3682]

Anybody else notice Diane's hand gesture when she said "push-up"? And Bill Nye goes nuts later in life. LOL

[@dandotvid]

A "high up" job. Haha get it? Because he's in a tower! Hahahahaha

[@uprebel5150]

“Anvil Tossing” was a great American pass time in the mid to late 1800s. You place dynamite under the anvil to make it fly in the air due to the explosion. The guy who’s anvil goes the highest wins.

[@Oddity2994]

Scene: it's the late 2000s - early 2010s. Your teacher turns off the lights and brings in the tv. It's going to be a good day.

[@lqbtqwinn1739]

The Bill Nye ruins your childhood was from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO.

[@hatorigirl1202]

Anvils are a blacksmith tool that also feature in a lot of cartoons since they're big and heavy. Bill Nye was a classic of the "teacher can't be bothered" VHS library. He came out a lot in the spring.... Or used as an introduction before actually learning the subject. The Magic School Bus was used in much the same way, but with less cringe.

[@jackbauer7849]

An anvil is a metalworking tool, the origin of the word comes from the Old English "anfilte", from the Germanic base of 'on' + a verbal stem meaning ‘beat’.

[@riezzybizabiz7887]

I love your videos! I can’t wait to come visit Ireland!

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Bill Nye tSG was a little after my time , but I had friends that loved him, and I did like his stand-up (it wasn't all as bad as that first appearance). He became a favorite when I'd babysit friends kids, & we could do the experiments at home. He helped me teach one young lady how to bend the flow of water using static electricity! That's some superhero stuff right there!
