Bill Nye Saves the World

I am so very disappointed with this sad excuse of a television program. Bill Nye was one of my idols growing up, and I remember watching "The Science Guy" every day I would come home from school. Fascinated by the way Bill used to captivate the minds of myself and my friends/classmates, I knew, without a doubt, "Saves the world" would be a genius new installment. I was horribly wrong. There is absolutely no science or even reason behind any of the discussions in the show. Bill Nye is dead to me, and I feel we've lost a true pioneer in the field of science.

I thought this was supposed to be Bill Nye for adults. He brings in some serious experts to discuss the subjects of the shows, then gives the experts maybe 5 or 6 minutes. I understand his opening explanations of what he is trying to convey, but the silly skits belittle the legitimacy of the message. If he really wants to appeal to adults, he needs to tone down the silliness. Otherwise, he needs to market this series as a program for children, with a caution as to subject matter. Please, Bill, give more time to the panel of experts and less time to the dancing eggplant.

What better way to turn people away from the scientific method than to inject it with elite Hollywood propaganda. This show accomplishes the exact opposite of what it set out to do.

I do wonder how much of a role Bill had in picking the topics and how he was able to discuss them. I hope for his sake he was strong-armed into the end result.

There is little to no science in this show. It's almost entirely propaganda. If you enjoyed Bill Nye The Science Guy stay away from this show. If you are expecting science there is none to find here, just humorless comedy and painfully obvious propaganda. They push political and social issues and try to put a scientific spin on them. There is no substantial educational benefit from this show. They are simply trying to sway political and social views.

I use to love Bill Nye as a child, he made science fun and worth learning. But this new show is terrible. Its promoting all sorts of non-science as science and is highly politicized and polarizing. A show about science should be about, well it should be about science. This show does not do that, this show is one part politics and one part failed musical.
