Bill Nye is getting closer to rebooting 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' - Polidicks

[video=youtube;bebSxF0rr5I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bebSxF0rr5I[/video] [QUOTE]Last we heard, Bill Nye, of 1990s program [I]Bill Nye the Science Guy[/I] fame, was [URL="http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/28/3198423/bill-nye-teases-the-return-of-bill-nye-the-science-guy"]teasing[/URL] a reboot of his show. But there were conditions: "it would have to be with the right producers, and it would have to be a less unfavorable contract." Now, in some good news for fans, that reboot may be inching a little closer to reality. When asked about the show's status in [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/19/bill-nye-the-science-guy-reboot/"]an interview with [I]Engadget[/I][/URL], Nye said, "People talk about it all the time; I'm going to a meeting tomorrow. We'll see if that works out." He does have the rights to [I]Bill Nye the Science Guy[/I], he told the site, but added that when the show aired "was a special time," and now, with science shows popping up regularly on the web, there's more competition than ever. "Now there are millions, just literally millions of competitors. Certainly tens of thousands."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/19/5824710/bill-nye-science-guy-reboot[/url]

Honestly, this show is probably one of the reasons I eventually went into engineering, that and lego.

I don't think anyone could ever touch on the awesomeness that was Bill Nye in class in Elementary school. I don't think anyone could deny the fact that they LOVED when they walked into science class and that TV was sitting there at the head of the class.

the show was literally all I would watch as a littleun if it actually returns I'll flip out

Only time anyone watched anything in science was when Bill Nye was on.

It's cool there might be a reboot, but I don't see it being as awesome as the original show was as a kid. but who knows, he might be able to make it entertaining again.

He should do one with more advanced concepts Like astrophysics, quantum physics, stuff like that

Cosmos came back, and now maybe Bill Nye will make his return. Science rules!

finally he'll have things better to do than snort at religion

Bill Nye is my god damn shit. I would suck his dick.

[QUOTE=omarfr;45167066]Bill Nye is my god damn shit. I would suck his dick.[/QUOTE] So what you're saying is that you're willing to suck your own shit's dick?

[QUOTE=Karmah;45167000]He should do one with more advanced concepts Like astrophysics, quantum physics, stuff like that[/QUOTE] That would be cool, but it would also depend on what audience he's trying to reach. If it's kids again, that might be a bit difficult (but not impossible, I guess, if you simplify or break those things into enough components) but if he's targeting the same people who watched his show as a kid and who are now adults, that would work.

I still find the show hilarious but I wonder how well that humor would do with today's youth

[QUOTE=redBadger;45166956]Shit we watched bill nye even when I was still in high school[/QUOTE] Hell, I think we watched an episode in my university chemistry lecture once. The '90s is coming back, Magic Schoolbus, Reading Rainbow, Bill Nye. The kids who will get to experience these reboots don't know how lucky they are to be having entertaining educational television returning.

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;45167111]I still find the show hilarious but I wonder how well that humor would do with today's youth[/QUOTE] They still show Bill Nye all the time in schools I'm pretty sure. It's a timeless show.

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;45167153]The kids who will get to experience these reboots don't know how lucky they are to be having entertaining educational television returning.[/QUOTE] You're saying there hasn't been any entertaining educational TV for over a decade?

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45167196]You're saying there hasn't been any entertaining educational TV for over a decade?[/QUOTE] Not of this calibre.

[QUOTE] "Now there are millions, just literally millions of competitors. Certainly tens of thousands."[/QUOTE] Dat Immediate back peddle :v: I'd still watch it though. He's got one thing going for him that the competitors don't have. He's Bill fucking Nye the actual science guy.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45167074]So what you're saying is that you're willing to suck your own shit's dick?[/QUOTE] Or perhaps that he would suck his own shit as if it were a dick. Or perhaps even suck his own dick if it were covered in his own shit. The possibilities are endless. [QUOTE=Masterofstars;45166971]Only time anyone watched anything in science was when Bill Nye was on.[/QUOTE] Relevant: [img]http://i.imgur.com/k1Fwq8G.jpg[/img] But yes, this is awesome. I remember watching him, MSB, and even Beakman's World (who even remembers that shit anymore? :v: ). Though I wonder if creationists will fire back by fighting to give Ken Ham his own show.

if he made a crowdfunding campaign like they did with the reading rainbow, he would easily get all of the funding he could ever need

Bill Nye the nazi spy... Srsly tho, awesome if he does reboot it.

[QUOTE=Rebi;45167191]They still show Bill Nye all the time in schools I'm pretty sure. It's a timeless show.[/QUOTE] They still showed it when I was a freshman in High School, which was only a few years ago. [sp]I was the only kid who payed attention to it in class.[/sp]

Do a kickstarter like Reading Rainbow, get funded within a day.

I guess an alternative is to present many of the theories on the beginning of the universe in one episode, my teacher did that in middle school.

[QUOTE=Karmah;45167000]He should do one with more advanced concepts Like astrophysics, quantum physics, stuff like that[/QUOTE] Probably not, those require a ton of prerequisites, and of which better educational videos exist already (I have this awesome VHS set on General and Special relativity, it's fucking awesome) He will probably just do a comprehensive series on classical mechanics.

But there is no place for creationism in a science class, so he wouldn't need to cover that.

Because he was on an Irish science show that was super dry and boring, and that's what he showed us. I only heard about Bill Nye a few years ago, and after looking at his old episodes online I would have killed to have that instead of what I got.

I remember watching an episode of this in a biology lesson in high school, i almost died laughing when some chav at the front shouted "wots with this gay fucking emo music" during the intro.
