linders Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Recording for the DC - coincidentally, we started an astronomy unit a couple weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Do you know if it will be offered online anywhere (we don't have tv service at all)? I remember watching Cosmos w my parents when I was younger dd's age :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching Cosmos w my parents when I was younger dd's age :) Word is it will be on Hulu (hope so, I wasn't going to keep the kids up to watch it) and it will probably be on Fox's website.

Jane in NC Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Neil deGrasse Tyson is the man for the job here, selling science as "cool". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I've set the DVR for this series. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Will there be more than one episode? We are recording this one, but I didn't see any other episodes on the schedule. I can't wait to watch it with the kids tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in NY Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Look like 4 episodes already in the can... the rest TBD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos:_A_Space-Time_Odyssey#Episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Loved it! I loved how he was able to take big concepts - like billions of years - and put them into context we can wrap our heads around. And I was touched by his very personal homage to Dr. Carl Sagan.

Guest Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I opened this thread because I thought we were having drinks. LOL!!! {Except I don't drink unless it is Sprite and cherry juice.} LOVED that show as a child! Are they the old ones or new versions. Obviously, science has changed just a bit in 30 years.

sarah1615 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I thought the show was great! We did let the kids stay up to watch it and everyone enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my dear friends is a scientist who invites students young and old into his lab and home. If everyone could be half as generous...

dbmamaz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 For those who asked, this is a complete re-make of the old show, with Neil deGrasse Tyson hosting. it IS already available on free hulu I kept my boys up to watch it (we dont have anything to record it) and while they liked it, it was really too late for us. I am considering watching it with them over the summer, even if I have to buy it. Its lovely - a bit heavy on effects and drama and light on science, but its the BIG picture (at least the first episode) and its aiming to educate the masses. I thought there were like 8 episodes total? or 12 or something? eta: there are 13 episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuway Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yay for it being up on hulu! Going to save it to watch as a family when DH is home, but its a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatHomeschoolDad Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I opened this thread because I thought we were having drinks. Either way, just remember that the Hydrogen atoms in your vodka were born inside a star several billion years ago. I especially liked NDGT's intro, laying out what is science. When the boxed set comes out, this is definitely going into our library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
