Summary: One of life's most see
Comment: The Cosmos series should be required viewing by all students prior to reaching the eighth grade. Absolutely mesmerizing. Watching this series should change how you view the world, our Earth and your place in it. I would love to have seen Carl Sagan be able to have amended and added his latest thoughts to this series since we have landed on Mars. He does do some amended thoughts in this DVD series prior to his death. I tend not to read lengthy reviews so I will close by saying, "Cosmos leaves you wanting more wishing that you had 100 hours to view, truly a masterpiece". It will take you to another place, a place that you wish you could stay.

Summary: An Astronomy Classic
Comment: A wonderful program. Even after almost thirty years it's still great entertainment and education.
Carl's charm and enthusiasm and intelligence set the standard for this type of program.
What a tragedy that Carl died so young.

Summary: "The trick is to know...
Comment: which books to read," says Carl Sagan in one of the episodes of Cosmos.
This dvd collection is the one you want to watch if you have to choose from all the science themed dvd collections available.
Curiously not outdated though it was produced over a quarter of a century ago, this series isn't simply a tour of the cosmos but rather a synthesis of several disiplines in an attempt to show our place in the past, present and future of this thing we call the universe.
If you aren't left with a feeling of awe after viewing the 13 episodes, you never will be.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very enlightening
Comment: Watching this series was the most memorable and best thing I ever did while in public school, and I didn't do it until my senior year. It's nearly 30 years old now, but is more relevant now than it was back then, and that fact is with me every day. Carl Sagan was a great man, and I hope he has found peace somewhere out there.
