Bill Nye Saves the World

I've come to believe that this is the worst production of anything that I have ever seen. Bill Nye has lost all his credibility with this attempt at wit. It's absolutely HORRIBLE. Unwatchable. He'd better start working on saving his reputation. The musical performances were equally as bad. It was tough to tell if they were trying to be humorous. They failed.

I do not often (have I ever?) written reviews for TV shows or movies. However, I thought this would be something to look forward to, addressing serious topics like global warming and science for the masses, right?

There is a constant cheering and applauding for anything he says, it's really cringe worthy and I cannot for the love of something, understand what they are trying to accomplish here other than scare serious viewers away from such an important topic! I could barely make it through first episode, and I do not plan on watching any more than this. They are making science look bad, and a laughing stock on of the biggest problems humanity will face!

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.

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.

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.
