Like many of you here, I was looking forward to watching Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey last night.
But, also like many of you here, I was not looking forward to Obama's anticipated long-winded introduction, therefore I set my DVR to record the show, so that I could fast-forward through the intro. (some of you even declined to watch the show because of this intro)
However, when it came time to watch the show, I was pleasantly surprised, and a little bit embarrassed at my overreaction. The dreaded intro lasted less than 30 seconds!
Well, whaddaya know. Obama finally gave us a gift, sort of. Of course, a better gift would have been for him to not speak at all! :-D
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
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.
Too too ka choo

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.
