I loved this show as a kid. It ran from 1993 to 1998, and I think most 90's kids in America saw it. (Sometimes at home, or science teachers would show it at school.)

The good news is, Bill Nye is still around, still talking about science, still being awesome. He did an online Q+A about the Mars robot last month.
Under the cut are some classic Bill Nye clips:
