- Was it actually that good? Pretty much, yeah.
Here's the interview with the theme song composer I mentioned:

Come to think of it, when I see an episode of Bill Nye The Science Guy I feel like I’m watching an educational YTP. And I love it.
We watched Bill Nye mostly in elementary and middle school. High school science teachers only showed Bill Nye when they were especially pressed for time or the Bill Nye explanation was legit the most genius explanation.
Aw I love "A Is For Atom", such a cool little educational animation. It does have a more matter of fact tone, makes sense since it's from the 1950's. The art style is great, I especially love the imagery of the giants made of electricity standing over the city and holding up power lines, it's a cool metaphor.
when the bill nye theme song started playing it set off some kinda sleeper agent within me. love that guy
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes
Another very well thought out and worded video. Great job Bobby! You're stuff never fails to entertain and educate.
Thanks for making me feel super old as I actually DID watch some of those episodes live. Ha!
Same, as if I wasn’t already feeling old enough after turning 30 earlier this year
EDIT: I hope you’re around the same age as me, otherwise I may have just inadvertently made you feel old yet again lol :/
@@Acidlib haha, I was actually talking around the time of 1991 or so, so around the time you were born watching Bill Nye. I am pure Xennial here, but don't worry, pretty happy being over 40.
I came for the pajama Sam reviews I stayed because these are actually pretty good analyses/ reviews can't wait till the next episode
I remember one original episode where he explained the rear blade on a helicopter, and it clicked for me.
As someone on the spectrum, I couldn't get through a single episode of his show. It kept causing sensory overload, and I'd shut down for a few hours to decompress. Even now, I find myself fast forwarding the parts where you show clips of the old show. Don't know if I can bring myself to finish this episode or not (I'm at the 8 minute 22 second mark of the video)--I'll take that old 1953 video any day of the week. That girl that "stutter-cut" the word/words (not sure, and I'm not going back to check), was physically painful.
Same here. Haven't watched the show, but from these clips I can tell I wouldn't be able to process much of the information and would shut down from sensory overload pretty quickly. ^-^;
I have a friend with adhd who craves this kind of rapid-fire, lots going on presentation to stay focused on something, though. Funny how different our needs can be.
Bill Nye seems sort of like a science youtuber before youtube.
At the beginning of the genesis of the show, Bill wrote down the “rules” of the show. One key one was this: “The reality of Bill Nye is television.” Bill played by the rules of TV, he could cut and jump to new locations, and items could just appear out of thin air. There was no need for a “magic school bus” to get from point a to point b because on TV you could just do it. It made for the pace of the show to stay fast and engaging.
Between the break neck pace of the dialogue and the mario music in the background, I'm having a hell of a time keeping up.
I actually did see a few episodes live. I was like, 2, maybe 3? But I very vividly remember watching him, and then being all "omg!" when teachers started showing his stuff because it blew my mind that teachers did anything other than "talk stuff at you and you learn the stuff 😂"
“A is for Atom” has that 50’s charm and I love it
FunFact: Pat Cashman was ALSO the announcer for Almost Live! (I used to watch that show all the time, back in the day)...tho I wasn't a Science Guy viewer so much (I was born in 1980, tho I DID see some episodes/thought it was a good kids show) so never knew he was the narrator on Bill Nye's show later...interesting...
BTW, anybody ever see Dr. Julius Summer Miller off The Hilarious House of Frightenstein?
I saw him make a deadblow-mallet out of a glass mickey bottle & drive nails through a 2x4 with it once (the key is have NO air-bubble inside or it will break), displaying how flexible glass vs how solid water is...he did some pretty interesting stuff/was my favourite Frightenstein segment~
This is a fantastic explanation of why the show was a success. Great work! Your explanations are always on point, and clear and concise.
The main episodes which have “out of date” info” are “Planets,” “Outer Space,” and “Moon.”
only after viewing the show as an adult, so i fully appreciate just how great the editing of Bill Nye the Science Guy actually is.
Fantastic job man!
IS THAT VVVVVV MUSIC OMG
New subscriber here! Love your stuff man, in the course of 3 days of watched like 9 of of your videos
I had to consciously stop myself from chanting "bill bill bill bill" when you played the theme song. It's like a sleeper code
My parents bought the VHS tapes! I don't remember when, but I know there was the blood cell one and the dinosaur one 🤔 when did I first see Bill.....?
Bill Nye the old school not the new school was my jam. Also mutant mudds ost.
"I don't know anyone who saw the show live"... You just need to connect with more 30-40 something year old millenials. 🙋🏽♀️
I enthusiastically watched brand new episodes on TV after elementary school, along with Beakman's World, and a host of other Educational shows for kids. Thank you PBS, TVO, and YTV.
the remixed speaking probably comes from max headroom, the 80s predecessor of youtube poop
Ooo this is so good
When I was a kid My older bro was crazy for Almost Live. It - was basicallly like we had our own version of Saturday night live...
The Bill Nye science segment was definitely memorable - but, in hindsight, I think more just because he is one of the few from that show who parlayed it into a career & actually got famous. - he Gent with the cool voice that did the call/answer & narration in one of the segments you showed,(Pat Cashman) actually managed to eeek out a career from the humble beginnings of Almost Live as well - he literally was THE VOICE of Taco Time - which oif you're not from Seaqttle you may not be aware of - BUT - it's only the best most fabulously awesome drive through mexican joint in the whole wide world _ & is still very much thriving - albeit only in the puget sound area & washoington, with very few franchises outside of Washington State (I have seenseveralal random ones on seriously desolate highways outside of the state, but very much in the west - (STILL & ALWAYS my fav fast food & the only FF I would consider eating these days - but it's as spendy as going to a restaraunt with linin napkins - generally about $20 per person)
I digress - my bad - Almost live - had several segments that were BEYOND memorable & effing hilarious - One of which was called "High Fivin; White Guys" - Literally a group of 4 or 5 white guys that obnoxiously high feived the holy heck out of each other to a ridiculous degree & with much voluem & gusto. - Clearly social commentary of the practices popularity at the time & the frequency & volume with ehich it tended to occur.
The best sketch by a country mile though, was "Mind Your Manners. With Billy Quan" - where he would beat the hellout of everyone & it wwould always begin with a flying kick from 50 feet.
)I looked @ the almost live IMDB - it ran for 12 years & had soo many stars come through & that were part of the crew it not even funny, including Joel McHale, MJ himslef, ave Grohl - blew my mind.
2:10 i put on the sonic adventure 2 soundtrack Right before i started this video. uncanny
What was the song playing in the background for much of the time between 7-9 minutes?
It's from Portal 2! "Robot Waiting Room." It sounds like variation #4 to me but I could be wrong.
what's the song at 4:17 it sounds like Super Mario Galaxy!
EDIT: It's Space Junk Galaxy. Beautiful!
man uses VVVVVV's music, based
See the old show is pretty much a grandfather to Vsauce. Besides the music and personality of Michael, Kevin and Jake.
This is weird I got a notification on a comment that is not even here on a video I never even clicked on

Slooooow Dooooown.

And he has survived Cancel Culture and Me Too (So far)
Unless you count the right trying to 'cancel' him for saying that gender is a social construct.
ooh vvvvvv music
Dude are you on team capital?
Your very smart
Is team capital something I should know? I am confusion
I guess you had to be there, I wouldn't like the show from these clips.
That quote is true tho
Yeah I think you need to just let go of your Bill Nye obsession, It's clear he was an influential figure in your life, so much so, that you felt the need to intellectualize (or let's be serious: state factually) the incongruencies' of his delivery on different platforms, and certainly how his ego and his tv personality begin to replace what is ultimately integral in his presentation---but I've seen your videos and you cover a lot of great and important topics in a very accessible manner; so I am positing that you do the same as what you are criticizing here. Some of this material is rather menial, you seem to (to me) to be an engine for education, and this seems a distraction to help you describe why you are, currently, creating a superior platform for scientific education---despite being so well intentioned, as most criticism is. (I'm sure you're just trying to help others feel not quite as disillusioned as you were when you discovered these "untold," but "blatant" paradoxes from a man you so highly regarded). Its true that new ideas and discoveries can not be made without criticisms---and you criticize well, of that I have no doubt, but after perambulating through many enlightening videos and then having my toe catch the edge of this one, I see the point you make, but only in your own mistake.
you forgot to put your point in all those words, chief
Yeah becouse there is a gender spectrum...
