Cosmos 2.0?

[quote]As NASA’s space shuttle program has come to an end, many of us may have been wondering where we’ll get our space fix from. The Fox network will be the answer, filling the void with an updated version of Cosmos?

That news may be surprising enough as it is, but also surprising is that Family Guy creator, producer, and co-star, Seth MacFarlane, has signed on to the project and is apparently quite the space nerd. MacFarlane, who was a huge fan of the original Cosmos, said that our society is “obsessed with angels and vampires and whatnot”, and that we’ve lost our fascination with science. He added that there are plenty of real and amazing things to be excited about “in our own planetary backyard.”[/quote]

Now this I am looking forward too.

For those not in the loop, it’s a remake of the TV series by this guy:

Carl Sagan, the white Morgan Freeman.

^ Nice

47 seconds in I started getting a tingling sensation in my gut. I’ll definitely be looking out for this!


I have been waiting for a long time for this. I remember watching the original, had the whole series on VHS, lent them to someone and never got them back so this is great news.

Billions and billions…

The new guy, Neil deGrasse Tyson, talking about Intelligent Design. lol

Bunch of Nerds. I’ll do Mak and RSGZ a favor by bumping this.

Just a quick Q: Why do you call Neil DeGrasse Tyson “the new guy?” … He’s had his PH.d for like 50 years now … I read a book by him like 10 years ago

FTR he’s a wicked smart guy and I liked when he hosted the NOVA episodes

Another example of Sagan

Well Sagan was the old guy for the show and this one is the new guy for the show.
