It looks more wacky than extreme, like Beakman's World (a superior science show).

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Ya, but i needed good spoiler fodder

And i always preffered Bill Nye over Beakman's. While Beakman always went for the "OMG WOOWOO!" thing Bill Nye always seemed to do cooler shit while still maintaining some seriousness. Kinda like Alton Brown on Good Eats.

Anyone know if there's a DVD collection of Bill Nye episodes anywahere? I'd so buy those.

Nevermind. Found it. $3500 for all 100 episodes on DVD.

$3250 before taxes. I just rounded it out.

So using my rounded figure of $3500 you pay $70 per hour of Bill Nye! That's assuming half hour episodes.

Also, if you want it on VHS it's only $1999 before taxes. It boggles my mind that DVDs are that much more expensive considering that they're overall cheaper to produce.

We watched Bill Nye in this one science class every Friday when I was in Jr. High.

If the set is for use for rebroadcast then I would imagine that they are that much money. If they are for general public use, then it's way to damn much money.

the old Bill Nye shows.

Totally serious. Here's the video store. It's in the process of getting Farked so you might have to refresh a time or two to get through.

And ya, what Kag said about rebroadcast. These are meant to be used by schools rather than for private use.

That said, it's moderately asinine that there's no way to get a set of private copies just for the awsome factor.

Ahh yes, Only educational facilities can order or you need to provide a copy of your teaching certificate to order I'll bet.

Also I notice that these are "Enhanced Classroom Editions" DVD's meaning they probably have tons of extras to make a class out of them. I should ask my brother if he's seen any of them. He's a science teacher at the middle school here in town...

They need to make the "normal" versions available for the general public!!!! *whine*
