The new host is noted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who holds his own against Carl Sagan, as an overall charming, congenial unofficial spokesman for science, astronomy cosmology and now host of the rebooted "Cosmos". Although I really doubt he's ever going to utter the term billyuns and billyuns...
The premiere of Cosmos will re-air tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT on the National Geographic Channel and include some extra material on the making of the show. Check out some real science.

Last night, 13.3 million tuned in to the launch of ABC’s ”Resurrection,” a show about the dead returning to life, while the “The Walking Dead,” another show about the dead coming back to life (with a lot more bloods and guts), aired in the same time-slot. The ratings haven’t been made public yet, but the number certainly surpassed 10 million viewers (the ratings-powerhouse manged to surpass the closing ceremonies of the Sochi Olympics by a large margin) Whereas, Cosmos held the third ranking with just 5.8 million total viewers.
“Cosmos” space ping
Bammy has squandered Trillion$ and Trillion$.
Didn’t have time to catch it last night. I was too busy eating squirrels.

Turned it off when they let Zer0 do the intro.
And this has been remade because???....Heck, why not? Probably totally government funded so why not waste the money like everyone else?
I did not know that. Moderator!!!Please delete!
I saw only a few minutes, so perhaps I am unfair — but what I saw was a lot of Church bashing and a lot of untruths about the suppression of science.
Sounds like the typical NPR-style the show emulates. Now, I’m beginning to feel really bad, guilty for posting this.

Good science stuff on the Science channel right now.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman but good anyway.
yup, that's why i said follow the money... prolly a giant RAT give away jobs program
Freeper summary: Obama intro, blech!, host has long history of opposition to religious faith and organized religion, lengthy distortion of Enlightenment history and false account of life of Dominican monk Giorando Bruno, attacking the Catholic church as brutal and opposed to science. Bruno was executed because he was a pantheist, etc., not because he said stars were other suns. Interesting graphics between the indoctrination sessions. Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s bitter philosophy, widely available on Youtube, is now being unleased on the minds of Americas youth every week.
Personally I don’t expect any show about ‘science’ on TV to be of the slightest usefulness, or entertainment.
I have generous cause for that expectation.
“Co-executive producer of the Cosmos series, Seth MacFarlane ...”
LOL!
How much of the show is going to be dedicated to misanthropy and global warming?
I can’t speak for science programs, but I will say that IMHO the show “Vikings” on the History Channel is the best programming that’s ever graced a television screen (and at least the first season was quite true to the real history).
phhhhtttttt
I didn’t even care about the ‘original’ show. The tedious Sagan made it impossible to watch beyond the first three minutes
You can’t see her reflection!
