I'm sure many of you remember the original series hosted by Carl Sagan that aired on PBS during the 1980s, and how well it was done. I'm really looking forward to this new version:

I have come to respect Dr. Tyson for his deep knowledge and affable onscreen personality, and I think they couldn't have picked a more worthy successor to fill Dr. Sagan's capacious shoes. (Yes)

Hey MarkFL,

I am so unfamiliar with this tv series...what is it all about? Is it like any of those documentaries series like what we see in National Geographic channel, where its documentaries revolve around the factual content about nature, science, history, etc while this one is all about the space?
