I only got around to seeing Cosmos when I was in graduate school, but I could see why it would inspire people to get into science. (For myself, I blame Isaac Asimov.)
One problem I have with a lot of science programs today is how they don't make it clear how we know what we know, or who figured it out. Science is presented as a bunch of facts rather than as something that was developed by people (who always have interesting stories). Carl Sagan didn't make that mistake, nor did Asimov, and I hope this new Cosmos sequel also takes the historical and human perspective.
