Is Bill Nye the show that has every bit of body movement accompanied by some annoying noise, like ZIP or WHOOSH?

Gotta love Bunson Honeydew and Beaker.

Bill Nye is cool but I grew up with Mr. Wizard so he gets the edge in my book.

OMG! JSM is the man because I used to watch his shows in H.S. physics class. Can't believe other people know of this man.

Anyways, my vote goes for Bill Nye as well.

That onion cover is a riot. Especially the bottom line:

"Constant Rage: Could People Fucking Up All The Time Be To Blame?"

That is sig worthy.

Mr Wizard is awesome. It's the tv equivalent of comfort food.

Nye is very entertaining.

Beakman was irritating.

Phineas J. Whoppee and his 3DBB.

Learned a lot from him as a kid.

Older, I liked Bill Nye. Beakman with the guy dressed as a rat was a little too much for me.

Whoah. I just read that the Beakman comic strip came before the show. Interesting. Never really watched that though, I was a Nye guy.

And here's a 14 minute loop of the Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill part.

Bill Nye is awesome. I hated Beakman's World, the guy was so damn irritating. I guess I don't really remember Mr. Wizard though.

You mean Mr. Wizard used his celebrity to destroy the career of Maclean Stevenson for sleeping with his wife?
