Never seen the original so I did some searching. The only place I found the entire series for streaming is here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBA8DC67D52968201.
Going to have to fire up the YouTube channel on my roku3. I really like Carl Sagan, read a few of his books. Looking forward to this now also.

President Obama to Introduce Fox's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
President Barack Obama will introduce the much-hyped premiere of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, Fox announced Saturday.
In the video message, Obama will invite a new generation of viewers to embrace the spirit of discovery and encourage them to explore new frontiers and imagine limitless possibilities for the future

Not a chance an announcement like that would be kept under wraps for Fox to make it on a TV show.
LOL, well it certainly looks like that would make sense, think about it, Worldwide premiere in 181 countries, capturing such an audience in the same day, they confirm life elsewhere or something else worth all that drumroll
I still remember Carl Sagan's billions and billions.... I think it still have the original on VHS...
Good episode. Nothing new last night I haven't seen on many different shows. Yeah, I watch a lot of Discovery type shows. Got my oldest daughter into space and aeronautics.

Oh, Neil deGrasse Tyson... What have you done to Cosmos? Instead of high school/college level prose composed to inspire and teach accompanied by music that moves the soul we get a rather boring remedial middle school science class complete with low-res, 3 frame a second cartoons and and super-duper graphics draped over content presented in the most uninteresting way possible with almost distracting stock-sounding music that does nothing to enhance the experience.
I really like your shows, Niel. When You hosted Nova Scinece Now, especially in 2011, I thought it was the best that show ever was. The Pluto Files was interesting and informative. The Origins portion of Nova in 2004 finally got me hooked on Nova again.
What happened? How did it come to this?
I can't express my disappointment. I expected an updated and revised Cosmos presented in a way I remember Carl presented the Cosmos to me as a young adult. I expected to be talked to as an adult with revisions to include new and exciting discoveries. I expected your unique and dynamic delivery of knowledge and wisdom to rival the rhythmic and mesmerizing delivery of Carl. But no. I got what sounded like a 6th grade science class teacher talking down to his students' level of understanding. I got the equivalent of a film-strip presentation. I can almost hear the beeps signaling where to change the slide. At the very least I was expecting something as good as "Wonders of the Universe" presented by Brian Cox, my other favorite astrophysicist. But no.
Oh, I'll watch the rest of the series. That is how hungry I am for real science programming. I will continue to hope this series grows on me, and not just like a fungus.

Tony, I agree but you have to realize, 6th grade science is way too advanced for the vast majority of the viewing audience.
We desperately need something to bring science to the masses and maybe this is it.

so, one has to wonder how many Americans learned last night that the earth is not the center of the solar system?
My hope is that they needed to dumb down the first one because it was the big splash across multiple networks. For that reason alone it gets another week from me.
