The new Cosmos is not the same as the original one - no doubt about it - I was 8 when it was aired back where I live, and I had to promise a lot of things to be allowed to se the series - as it was aired rather late in the evening... And It was absolutely new compared to what I was used to..

And Carl Sagan had something I doubt Tyson have in the same degree - a passion for space - and our place in it - Tyson is a good teller of what is out their - and our place in it - but he do not have the same passion that Carl Sagan had... But then again - Sagan had a passion for space I doubt many would have the ability to follow up on.. But I think he does a fair job - Tyson that is - and I think I would say he might show up as a far better than we have seen it... I at least would do my best to follow this series as best as I can - and I think he will do a great job.... Even though he is no Carl Sagan..

The concept that cats are not social and dogs are is way over-done. Hissyspit Mar 2014 #25

I'm going to disagree with most of that. Hissyspit Mar 2014 #21
