Watching Sagan's Cosmos for the first time was probably the greatest TV experience of my life. I may have to re-examine my hatred of Seth MacFarlane as it seems he was the driving force behind bringing this back to TV. Starts March 9 on FOX and the National Geographic Channel.

Really exciting I'm surprised Fox is broadcasting this.

I must admit that I'm a little skeptical of this being on Fox as well, but I refuse to believe Tyson or Sagan's widow would allow any bullshit influence from Fox.

The scientific facts in the first episode weren't new if you listen to Neil's podcast/watch shows like The Universe or something...but the presentation was excellent. Neil brought the feels when he took out Carl Sagan's date planner!

Oh, also, not mentioned in the episode: Neil ended up going to Harvard, not Cornell

Yep, enjoyed it very much. That was a good lead episode. I'll be tuning into this every week.

This is something that will be shown in middle schools for years.
I don't doubt too many scientific theories, but I don't believe in the big bang theory.

Luckily, you don't need to believe in it for it to be true.
