Bill Nye made science fun and accessible in the 90’s with
his popular TV series “Bill Nye the Science Guy.” Now,
the former Boeing engineer and co-star of KING TV’s
“Almost Live” is hinting the iconic series could make a
return.
Nye was asked Friday in a Reddit forum if he would ever consider creating new
episodes of the science show.
“Yes, yes,” he answered. “But, it would have to be with
the right producers, and it would have to be a less
unfavorable contract. I put my heart and soul into that
thing; everybody on the crew did. It was a unique time in
TV history. It was exciting to be part of it. Let’s change
the world.”
When asked if he would ever consider doing it
independently, on YouTube or on its own site, Nye tossed
out what could be a hint of the return of the popular show
spawned from his stint on “Almost Live”.
“Stay tuned ;-)”, Nye replied.
Nye’s quirky series earned 19 Emmy’s during its nearly
five year run in the 90’s.
He taught about basic science concepts with a comedic
twist, such as this episode where he hurled objects of a
building to demonstrate gravity (dating itself with the
Kingdome in the background.)
The return of “The Science Guy” would follow the recently
announced plans for a new comedy sketch show “The 206”
with Pat Cashman, John Keister and other former cast
members of “Almost Live.”
