Notes[]

• Bill Nye is one of the few people to appear in Stargate as themselves.
• Bill Nye also appears as a fictionalized version of himself in the third-season episode of Blindspot, Let It Go (s03e20), as the father of FBI scientist Special Agent Patterson who was upset his wife, her mother, was publishing a joint paper "with none other than Dr.Rodney McKay. He's my academic rival!". This suggests that Blindspot shares the same universe with the Stargate franchise. Blindspot was created by Martin Gero who had also written Brain Storm although he did not write the said Blindspot episode.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is an American science education television program created by Bill Nye, James McKenna, and Erren Gottlieb, with Nye starring as a fictionalized version of himself.

The show aired in syndication from September 10, 1993, to February 5, 1999, producing a total of six seasons and 100 episodes; beginning with its second season, a concurrent run of the series began airing on PBS from October 10, 1994, and ran until September 3, 1999, as it continued to be distributed in commercial first-run syndication. After the show's first run was completed, Nye continued to portray the Science Guy character for a number of short interstitial segments for the Noggin cable channel that aired during reruns of the show. A video game based on the series was released in 1996, and a subsequent television show aimed at adults, Bill Nye Saves the World, ran from 2017 to 2018 on Netflix.

Known for its quirky humor and rapid-fire MTV-style pacing, the show was critically acclaimed and was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards, winning 19. Studies also found that people that viewed Bill Nye regularly were better able to generate explanations and extensions of scientific ideas than non-viewers.
