I have made this thread to help me remember one of my greatest childhood icons (apart from Bill-Nye the Science guy): Super-Dave.
Now super-Dave was cool. He was the very definition of cool.
But I barely remember him!!! and this saddens me… so please, please bring back memories of this hero of mine to my forgetfull mind.
who?
but Bill Nye was pretty awesome.
OH story time! one time, my dad met Bill Nye, kind of. more like just stood next to him in an airport. but still.
About Bill Nye: I’m pretty confident that he was one of the reasons why I got such good grades in high-school science… no kidding… I mean I already knew more than half the stuff in there when we started out.
yeah…Bill Nye is pretty much my hero. but not really. but he is an awesome guy. however, this is a story for another thread, back to SUPER DAVE!! whoever he is 
well, he was a daredevil guy and had this chinese side-kick who would always forget to do something and try to warn Super-Dave just as he was about to do his stunt.
Super-Dave disregarded him and went on with the stunt.
And ALWAYS got hilariously injured.
That’s pretty much the outline for every single super-Dave episode.
heheh, that does sound like an awesome TV Show…wish I had seen it.
and he had a comback episode that was staged like a game-show in which he would host it but he’d be in a wheelchair…
and if I remember correctly at the end of that show he tries to show off his rocket-powered wheel-chair and blasts a whole through the studio wall.
HOLY CRAP LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND:
he HAS A MOVIE!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG!
Super Dave Osborne had a lot in common with Mr. Bill. You always knew that something wrong was going to happen by the end of the skit. Super Dave and Mr. Bill should have teamed up for one super skit. That would have been awesome.
yeah… that WOULD have been awesome wouldn’t it?
Yes. It would be a massive skit of destruction. Mr. Bill would be Super Dave’s sidekick helping him with a stunt. Then during the stunt Super Dave would run over or land on Mr. Bill just before Super Dave fails to successfully execute the stunt.
Yeah man bill nye taught me alllll about probability, and how smoking is bad 
and popping zits… unfortunatly… I never listened to him 
Yeah I watched Bill Nye the Science Guy a lot when I was little. Remeber his sweet grass car? It was a car packed with dirt on the outside, with grass seed. He watered his car! I wonder how he cut the grass.
Don’t worry, I’m here.
I remember Bill Nye taught me all about balance…about the center of gravity and all. and about magnets too…oh man, I love you Bill. you’re the best.
Fuji was his sidekick’s name
I don’t remember much about it other than the use of dummies to perform stunts that have most liely all been done by the jackass guys
I remember good ol’ Super Dave Osbourne. I remember it would always come on at that golden time just after your bedtime, but if you were lucky and quiet enough your parents would forget about you for a bit and you could watch it for a few minutes. I remember at first hating it but enjoying at the same time cause I was staying up late.
I remember a few of his stunts, most of which ending with his body squooshed so his head (in his helmet) was perched on top of his shoes.
David
He was kinda like an Evil-Kinevil spoof. Anyone remember when it was released, where it was released and how it did?
Actually, that may end up in an impossible situation that couldn’t be resolved… like if you tie a piece of toast, butter side up, to the back of a cat and drop him off a table… it’ll just spin, hovering above the ground, like some odd anti-gravity device. The cat has to land on his feet, and the toast has to land butter side down… the physics of the situation are mind-blowing.
Super Dave and Mr. Bill would both be accelerated towards certain doom until they almost wreck, then both would become locked in an infinite do-si-so, flinging each other towards their demise, but neither one ever making it… my head hurts just trying to imagine it. I need some ice cream.
My kids love the Bill Nye videos from the library. The grass-covered car scene is great.
OT: He played Ultimate at Cornell, which my family thinks is really cool, as we’ve been fairly obsessed with that game for many years.
