This show taught me sooo much while at the same time it didn't even feel like I was learning. From Dinosaurs to the human body this show had it all, and it is probably one of my favourite shows as a kid. I think this show is soo amazing, they should make new ones, or a movie with real people now that would be edutaining and funny!
shareI so agree with making new eps (especially if Franz Ferdinand did the theme song, lol), and a movie? Totally. Jon Heder should play Arnold, hehe.

I'm glad you like it so much, but I really have to disagree with your choice of title . . . I love this show *and* Bill Nye! :D Absolutely no reason two science shows have to be mutually exclusive. :)

I thought both shows were great when I was in jr high. Bill Nye could get a little boring at times though but the music video parodies were usually fun. They were both better than watching the kids make baking soda volcanoes on Mr Wizard's World.
Still got my fingers crossed, waiting for Judas Contract to get green-lit
I actually learned more from Bill Nye but I enjoyed the adventures in Magic School Bus

MSB was fun and entertaining, but Bill Nye is the $hit. Nothing can top him!

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
I agree. I grew up with Magic School Bus teaching me science stuff, whereas my family couldn't afford the cable package that included Disney Channel (we were on a budget, after all), and for years, I wondered if I had missed out on something. In fact, I didn't even know about Bill Nye until High School, long after the show had stopped airing on tv. Now some of my science teachers used a few Bill Nye episodes to help illustrate our subject matter, but I saw very little of him.
Then, just a few years ago, I was able to watch Bill Nye on Netflix, and I caught up to see if I really had missed anything. Turns out, I hadn't. On the one hand, he was entertaining, but I was bothered by a lot of things, not the least of which, was the fact that he would only cover ONE aspect of ONE subject of science, whereas, Magic School Bus would cover a large bulk of that subject in the same amount of time. For example, Bill's got an episode about the heart? MSB had an episode about the entire cardiopulmonary system, in addition to how it related to muscles.
Frankly, after watching all that, I realized that I hadn't missed out on anything.
