You have to consider that Cosmos is like our public star parties. It's public outreach. It will increase the interest and awareness of astronomy with the public. It's not meant to be Physics 101. I would have liked it better if it was at a higher level but as Chuck said, (par) it's better than 99% of the television it's competing against. Not better than a good book though.

I agree it's a fine production but a few aspects in the first show were disappointing. I don't remember any disappointments with the original series, but that was long ago. But budget shouldn't have been a big problem for Fox and National Geographic, especially since they teamed up tot a major, highly publicized blockbuster series. I'm a little irritated that they didn't care enough about science to nix that graphic of the asteroid belt. I have other complaints but I don't want to sound like I didn't like it, because I did.
