In fact, Bill Nye the Science Guy found the most correct demonstration of science appeared in Madam Secretary, the CBS series that ran for six seasons. To boot, the dramatic program actually revolved around politics, not science.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con late last month, he pointed to one particular scene in Madam Secretary that earned his stamp of approval for accuracy.

“The show Madam Secretary, the way they dealt with a nuclear disaster was pretty good. It was the way you would really do it,” Nye said.

Nye addressed a wide range of topics in the interview. In particular, he talked extensively about The End Is Nye, an upcoming natural-disaster program, Deadline reports. Nye, Family Guy creator (and well-known science enthusiast) Seth MacFarlane, and Brannon Braga created the docuseries.

The streaming service debuted a trailer for the program on July 23.
