Cosmos, Possible Worlds Series on Fox Network

Post by Gunnar »

Has anyone else here besides me been watching this series by Neil DeGrasse Tyson? If not, give it a try. I love it! It rivals some of the best science series on PBS like Nova and Nature in quality and educational value. Not everything on Fox Network is bad! They have had a few fairly decent drama and sitcom series too, and even their news division sometimes rises to the occasion and truthfully presents even news and comments that are unfavorable or embarrassing to Trump and his administration.

Is this a new Cosmos series or a repeat of the one from seven or eight years back?

It is a new series. Not just a redo or repeat of the old one you mentioned.

Fox News and Fox Entertainment seem to exist on different planets. I love Fox sports coverage, and yes, the channel has pumped out some great shows.

I actually think Fox News (if you ignore the prime time lineup) might be starting to come around. When Trump bashes them like the tyrant he is, you've got to think Fox is saying something true.

But anyway, thanks for the tip! Cosmos was excellent. I loved the first... season, I guess?

Yes, it does, as far as I can tell.

For those of you interested in these episodes, the first 13 of Season 3 are available for free on the National Geographic website, in case you haven't already discovered that fact. Episodes 12 and 13 are particularly moving and inspirational. Check them out! If you love and appreciate truth and science as much as I do, you'll be glad you did!
