"Billllyuns and billllyuns of people...not watching this lousy remake of my effort. And scholars ask..why? Why a remake? Will it introduce new findings? No...it starts by glorifying an old dead guy, a non-scientist named Giordano Bruno"
I watched less than half of it last Sunday.
I found the presentation to be so smarmy and condescending that it was unwatchable.
BTW, as an MIT graduate I am hardly “anti-science” - rather, I am anti-smug-liberal-groupthink dressed up as all sciency and stuff...
1. Day one was Obambi's introduction of the series (wish he and his obnoxious wife would stop showing up all over the place)
2. Evolution talk about Man's million years' journey from slime in a pool (we lumbered around for a few mil trying to evolv from them apes, ya' know)
3. Whole thing done by an avowed atheist
4. There will undoubtedly be no mention of God's design of the Cosmos (kinda' just happened, ya' know, by chance)
But don't worry . . . H'wood will drown the series with big time awards next year, kinda' to shove it in our face.
It's all just manatees with beach balls.

As soon as I saw that the that made Family Guy did this, I swore to never watch it.
I’ve been an amateur astronomer for 30 years and I am so sick of this attempt to use science to push agendas by people that wouldn’t know a Covalent bond from James Bond.
Hope this show continues to tank.Nothing but a cheesy reboot for hipsters desperate to look “smart”.
I took it in for about 10 minutes on the opening program, and had to leave.
Was like watching a “Where is Waldo?” episode, except Where is Waldo had a better managed plot.
I used to subscribe to National Geographic years ago and dropped it after it became nothing more than a propaganda piece for global warming and the devastation caused by the USA.
I saw the episode Sunday, didn’t find it offensive as some here have claimed, but I did find it just to be not a very good show. I was left very very very far from impressed, I think FOX learned their golden boy should stick to offensive humor because he sure can’t produce an engaging show on science.
Saw the previews...Never gave it a second look.
It certainly doesn’t fit in with their normal programming. What were they thinking?
Neil Degrasse Tyson is a very smart man, and a very engaging man. His strength is in communicating ideas so that they lay person can understand them.
His weakness is that he’s his own favorite person. A boor. Just won’t stop talking. Best in 10-12 minute doses on YouTube. Difficult to sit through for a long miniseries.
