PBS, which broadcast the original Bill Nye the Science Guy, turned down the offer to distribute Nye's new show. Randy Brinson, a co-producer of The Eyes of Nye, said in an interview that the reason for PBS's rejection of the show was a result of its desire for "more serious, in-depth Nova-style shows". Brinson went on to say that this and some "local production issues" were the cause of the show's delays, although in an interview for the same article Nye blamed financial problems within KCTS-TV (the producer of the show) for the delays. However, it was noted that The Eyes of Nye has been picked up for broadcast by about 100 public television stations, and that this may lead to further development.

Twelve of the thirteen episodes are available as a set for $499.00 on DVD from Disney Educational Productions. Because the target audience for the show are educational institutions, each episode is available on its own DVD. However, the price of these DVDs is also aimed at this audience, and is a result of the licensing restrictions involved in showing the episodes to classrooms.
