I couldn't take the new Cosmos. It's heavy on special effects and light on content, which is delivered in a breathless style that makes me feel like I'm on a third grade field trip. The old Cosmos, with Carl Sagan, was fascinating. I was mesmerized watching Carl sitting there with pen and paper explaining the Drake equation, or listening to him explain the history of the library at Alexandria and the murder of Hypatia. All the "wondrous" CGI-enhanced pablum of the new show leaves me cold.
