I love Connections and The Day The Universe Changed.

I listened to some Cosmos. It didn’t do much for me either way. I miss Carl Sagan’s “billions and billions” that was parodied by others.

A great series. Unfortunately, it is not on netflix. But it is on youtube.

Here is the wikipage.

I said “billions and billions” a couple of times while watching. My wife didn't get it until I explained it to her. She laughed at me for being weird.

The original "Connections" was a superb series. I've been trying to find it for some time now on video stream without success.

As for me, looks like I'll be skipping the "Cosmos" reboot. I've had some interest in it but if it looks like it will be the now-rote Christian-bashing, left-liberal lovefest it appears to be, I won't waste my time.

“billions and billions”

In 33 years that number has become "billions of billions".
