There are so many standout episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy, but it’s obvious that Bill is truly in his element when he’s talking about the universe. Whether its about our own solar system or galaxies far beyond, his passion for astronomy is palpable.
“Everyone that you’ll ever meet will know someone that you won’t.” |
“Planets and Moons” is a particularly memorable episode for a lot of reasons, but one of the best parts is when Bill explains how far away the planets are from the sun by building a model to scale. He bikes over four kilometers to prove one point: “There’s a lot of space in space!”
The experiment for this episode shows you how to make your own Red Planet with just some dirt, steel wool, and water. Couple that with a slew of fake-infomercials, sketches, and repeat gags, and you have an instant Bill Nye the Science Guy classic. There’s a lot to learn here, but it’s so entertaining that you won’t mind watching it again and again.
Bill Nye the Science Guy is filled with all sorts of hilarious moments, but the funniest tend to come at the end of the episodes. Whether they’re parody skits, silly anecdotes, or actual bloopers, we always love watching Bill flub his lines or try to keep a straight face while doing something completely ridiculous.
