Watching his shows ignited my passion for science and played a pivotal part for sure, in my journey to becoming a development scientist then a teacher. I've always shared Bill Nye's episodes with my students, even if it was from a poor-quality copy uploaded to a USB in the past, and they've always loved it. Now that technology is allowing it, I've remastered and upscaled all of these classic episodes to 4K. I hope everyone watching enjoys them as much as I did - and still do.
