此節目的形式是以九十年代美國兒童的品味來設計,以上肩和觀點鏡頭,營造親臨現場、即時拍攝的影像風格,並運用大量娛樂性圖表、特效、喜劇效果、音樂、三秒鐘的短畫面、快速率剪輯。此外,在比爾解說現象時,還不時穿插短段式的真實影片或資料片。例如提到沒有大氣層會讓人覺得很熱,立刻插入一位胖子拿扇子猛扇的生活影片…此節目的形式是以九十年代美國兒童的品味來設計,以上肩和觀點鏡頭,營造親臨現場、即時拍攝的影像風格,並運用大量娛樂性圖表、特效、喜劇效果、音樂、三秒鐘的短畫面、快速率剪輯。此外,在比爾解說現象時,還不時穿插短段式的真實影片或資料片。例如提到沒有大氣層會讓人覺得很熱,立刻插入一位胖子拿扇子猛扇的生活影片,以及閱兵典禮中貴賓一直用手帕擦汗的資料畫面。節目中固定會將該集主題排成一段MTV式音樂帶。片尾,比爾總是出其不意的在冰河上、在恐龍的挖掘地點、在海里,向觀眾大喊:「這就是科學的力量!!」科學就在比爾德詮釋與帶動下,成為一件既酷又炫的事。 製作人艾倫形容比爾「是一個對科學有狂熱的天才」,他游泳、開飛機、高空彈跳、跳降落傘,無所不能也無所不做。他會不斷地為孩子解釋一個科學概念,直到他們完全了解而且感到興奮為止。艾倫視這個節目為闔家共賞的節目,她開玩笑地說自己就是節目的目標對象,如果劇本她根本看不懂就得重寫。也因此,[比爾教科學]獲得全美家長最佳選擇獎的肯定,1998年5月,更得到第二十五屆艾美獎最佳兒童節目主持人、最佳兒童節目編劇、最佳音效合成、最佳音效製作、最佳攝影五個獎項。比爾篤信的座右銘是:「一次測試勝於一千個專家觀點。」他認為最佳的科學裝備是顯微鏡,有了一家顯微鏡,我們可以看到的世界超乎想象。收看[比爾教科學],我們同樣也會驚奇發現,原來科學世界超乎我們想象的瘋狂。 During my childhood in the 1990s, "Bill Nye, the Science Guy" was one of the many shows I watched on TVO. I enjoyed it at the time, and I think I learned some pretty interesting things. I was also sometimes shown episodes of the show back in grade school, and later, in the early 2000s, I was shown episodes in my high school science classes, some of which I could still remember from years before! The show was hosted by Bill Nye, both a scientist and a comedian! Each episode would focus on a certain scientific subject. Bill would talk to viewers about this subject, using a lot of humour and demonstrations. The show featured many different sequences, all having something to do with the topic of the episode, including comedy clips, along with a music video for a parody of a popular song, with new lyrics to fit the subject. Guests were sometimes featured in the series as well. When I was shown episodes of this show in high school, I found that I didn't enjoy them so much anymore. However, that's just me, I'm certainly not saying that only kids would enjoy it. I'm sure some of the other students in those science classes with me liked the episodes they were shown! For many kids, "Bill Nye, the Science Guy" was educational with its science lessons, as well entertaining with its humour! It could also do the same for certain high school students, and maybe others. In conclusion, Bill and the others behind this show deserve a lot of praise!詳情
