Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Bill Nyes TV persona is a tall and slender scientist wearing a blue lab coat and a bow-tie. He combines the serious science of everyday things with fast-paced action and humor. Each half-hour show begins with a cold open, where Nye was introducing the episode's topic, which leads into an opening credit sequence, as Nye is seen floating through a montage of science images. Nye Laboratories is filled with scientific visuals including many "of science" contraptions announced dramatically, relevant to the topic of the episode.
