As college students, chances are you’ve heard of Bill Nye the Science Guy. We grew up watching and learning from Nye, and now our dreams are finally coming true once more: he is returning to the screen via Netflix to star in a brand-new show, “Bill Nye Saves the World.”
But will it live up to our expectations? Will Nye be the same bow-tied man we came to love and adore as children?
The newest trend on Netflix is capitalizing on is the revival of old shows from our generation’s childhood: the nineties.
We saw “Fuller House” explode and take the country by storm, so now it’s only suitable for our favorite scientist to do the same.
Nye’s show will be aimed towards our generation, which is more than exciting if you ask us. We remember singing along to “Bill Nye the Science Guy” in junior high and elementary school, and now that he’s back, we couldn’t be more thrilled.
That being said, Bill Nye never left the scene. In fact, he’s been following our age group through the years. Now he speaks at colleges around the country, making studying science seem more achievable and accessible than ever before.
However, we’re a little concerned that the Netflix show will be a let-down. Let’s face it, popular though it was, “Fuller House” didn’t live up the standards that “Full House” left us.
Will this Bill Nye series have the same fate, or will it forever live on in our minds?
Hopefully, the new show will meet, if not exceed, our expectations. Nye has never had a scandalous article written about him, and he is one of the more wholesome celebrities in the age of Bill Cosby.
We have high hopes that Nye will succeed in his new venture.
Nye graced the stage on Dancing with the Stars in 2013 and the crowds went wild for him. The Science Guy has not been left in the dust by newcomers and won’t be forgotten once his Netflix show debuts.
Nye’s show is thankfully geared towards Millennials. It’s not just about tadpoles and pretty stars anymore.
The show is going to speak to evolution, global warming and vaccines, along with different theories that aren’t always talked about in casual conversation.
But when the conversation is with the Science Guy himself, no one is going to turn him away or ignore what he has to say. Our parents aren’t going to be standing over our shoulders telling us what to believe anymore. Now we have science and one of the most capable people to explain it to us.
Netflix itself has been changing throughout the years as well. In order to keep viewers engaged, it has developed its own original series and is taking the world by storm.
Netflix already has 81.5 million users internationally, many of them Millennials, and the number just keeps growing. Because of this, we can predict that the new show will garner plenty of viewers.
Since Netflix and other streaming services have so many subscribers, they’re bound to eventually take over the television realm within the upcoming years, so don’t be alarmed when cable is no longer a thing.
Netflix will be there to save the day, and Bill Nye will be steering his spaceship into uncharted territory with us as his copilots.
