I love science but have no interest in watching people who call me a Squirrel eating reactionary homophobe.
Then again, the show's producer is better known for sleazy cartoons and sitcoms than for educational programming, so who knows.
I was looking forward to watching this series. But now, after watching the first one, not so much.
I love science, cosmology and astronomy but it was kinda’ boring, IMO.
I couldn’t click fast enough.
Even with the TelePrompTer his attention span doesn’t get much past 15 seconds. So I’m guessing the producer of the show had a challenge with that intro.
The Marxist introduces the show? Well chalk up another show I won’t be watching. I stopped watching Jeopardy when they devoted a whole category to Al Gore and his climate scam with the scam artist himself speaking the scam questions.
Obama should have kept his pie hole shut. He will be reaponsible for why many tune out this program.
Other than that, I rather liked the new version.
I QUIT watching it after 5 minutes. WHY? Because the narrator’s voice was horrible. He has a tendency to drop syllables from his words and I had to strain to decipher. NOT WORTH IT. Affirmative action strikes (and FAILS) again!
See obama’s face tends to ruin anything...but honestly, this show was disappointing.
Once the show got into the cartoon characters, I realized this is going to seriously suck.
I wondered why Zer0 would put his name on it!
But, then I realized the recent poll where 25% on Americans believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and Bingo, we struck the Zer0 voting base, thus his pie-hole at the beginning and the cartoons!
A show directed toward idiots!
BTY, I was surprised that we couldn’t raise Sagan’s series on Netflix. Would have thought it would be in the public domain by now.
Thanks - we recorded the show and plan to watch tonight. Glad to know the fast-forward will take less time than I anticipated, LOL! I’m trying to refrain from reading any “spoilers” about the show’s content itself.
Watched it on HULU about 20 minutes ago..
He did not speak at all....lol
My problem with the show wasn’t Obastard, it’s Tyson. He’s a Major League Clymer.
"This year’s Scientific American 10 pays tribute to the exceptional foresight and accomplishment of a select group whose achievements, particularly during the past year, stand out from those of their peers...This combination of leadership and inventiveness exhibited among the Scientific American winners for 2009 serves as a template for how we might consider tackling the most seemingly intractable problems of resource depletion, inadequate health care and desperate educational need."
Obama was selected as one of the ten, in June 2009.
I cancelled my subscription.
That’s about 2 minutes longer than I wish to listen to him.
Did Carter open the last Cosmos series?
If not it shows how vain Obama really is.
Carl Sagan’s original Cosmos was far superior.
The music in this Cosmos 2 was so annoying.... we did not need the dramatic loud music as if we were watching scary science fiction movie.
This was a disappointment on a variety of levels.
I watched Resurrection which kicked Cosmos’ butt big time! Resurrection was huge last night!
