When I was younger I watched a Astronomy show on PBS. It was on weekly from what I remember.

It started off with a image of Galaxy Spinning ( Cool Spacey Music to boot) and a host would appear (I believe he had a mustach.)


Sorry about not being able to give more details. I was very young.

Any help would be great.


I'm not 100% if this show was done in the 80's Maybe late 70's.

Carl Sagan. PBS is re-airing Cosmos with a few changes...It will be interesting to see if and how they handle Tempel 1.

So, does this mean I should hold off on finally ordering the DVD's? How much of it could they change, and who would they be able to use to fill in for Dr. Sagan?

I don't think there are any changes to the original narrations; I think that the only changes are that they updated the computer graphics. Sagan is still Sagan, and I don't think they'd ever try to get anyone to "fill in" for him! Especially because the production company that reissued the anniversary set (Cosmos Studios) is run by his widow, Ann Druyan...

That's a relief to hear. Then I might just go ahead and order the DVD's now. I remember growing up with his series, and I've even managed to lay my hands on the soundtrack (or a partial, perhaps). Unfortunately, the version I recorded off of TV several years ago has finally worn out, the tapes having broken and frayed from so much usage.
