Bill Nye is suing the Walt Disney Company and a host of its subsidiaries today for more than $37 million, alleging he didn't receive his fair share of the net profits generated by his long-running series Bill Nye the Science Guy.

"Plaintiff is further informed and believes and thereon alleges that the Defendants, by breaching their fiduciary duties, enriched themselves, at the expense of the Plaintiff and the BNSG Owners, obtaining ill-gotten profits of not less than Twenty Eight Million Fifty One Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Five dollars," Nye does some math at Disney's expense that alleges to be at his expense.

The 28-page suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court , says that Nye received a check in April 2008 for $585,000 as his share of the net profits.

According to the second letter, Nye instead owed BTV $496,111.

Bill Nye the Science Guy ran on PBS from 1994 to 1999 and also was syndicated to local stations.

The suit that Nye and his lawyers put before the court contends that "The disturbing size of the supposed 'accounting error,' coupled with the seeming indifference of both BVT and WDC, left Nye suspicious of the veracity of the accounting."
