Who was the guy doing the narration and looking, at times, like he was standing on a Starship Bridge?

Neil deGrasse Tyson. He is an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. He is currently the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium

I watched Resurrection which kicked Cosmos’ butt big time! Resurrection was huge last night!

Yes! Cosmos was good, but Resurrection was spectacular!

I hope they can keep it up!

It felt odd and wasn’t very engaging...too me.

Many others loved it.

Naaaah, he wasn’t too you.

I watched about twenty minutes. It reminded me of a hipster oriented ride at Disney.

Knowing Seth, I had my suspicions that this show would not simply be about cool science, but take opportunities to be political and anti-religious. Then I heard about Obama, who would not have appeared without Seth’s invitation. Hearing of the content of the show, I was right.

Family guy is hilarious. Particularly after visiting Colorado. Simpsons, Futurama are good as well.

To each his own. The few times I've seen snippets of Family Guy, the attempts at "humor" remind me of the sort of jokes some college freshman would try telling after his first drinking binge.

The Simpsons were actually funny and clever in their early years, now they're unwatchable, to a large part because their writers had to compete with ever more crude and largely mindless humor from other adult-oriented cartoons.

Nobody narrates like Sir David Attenborough. He is at the top of the list. He can make the most boring thing fascinating.
