Cosmos Video Collection
Videos are in very good condition. This was a great deal; very nice product at a LOW price!

An Astronomy Classic
A wonderful program. Even after almost thirty years it's still great entertainment and education.

Carl's charm and enthusiasm and intelligence set the standard for this type of program.

What a tragedy that Carl died so young.

"The trick is to know...
which books to read," says Carl Sagan in one of the episodes of Cosmos.

This dvd collection is the one you want to watch if you have to choose from all the science themed dvd collections available.

Curiously not outdated though it was produced over a quarter of a century ago, this series isn't simply a tour of the cosmos but rather a synthesis of several disiplines in an attempt to show our place in the past, present and future of this thing we call the universe.

If you aren't left with a feeling of awe after viewing the 13 episodes, you never will be.

Very enlightening
Watching this series was the most memorable and best thing I ever did while in public school, and I didn't do it until my senior year. It's nearly 30 years old now, but is more relevant now than it was back then, and that fact is with me every day. Carl Sagan was a great man, and I hope he has found peace somewhere out there.

Brilliant!

Carl Sagan's book and TV series called Cosmos has opened the vast universe to millions and millions of people. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and watching the series.

It is not surprising that Cosmos is the best-selling science book ever published in the English language...and the series has been seen by half a billion people!

Carl Sagan was able to accomplish this feat by tapping into his psyche as a little boy who asked many questions about the universe. He then wrote and produced the series from the heart. His enthusiasm and fascination with the earth, planets, stars, galaxies, extraterrestrial life and more is contagious! He took an incredibly difficult subject and made it fun, exciting and educational for anyone from 8 to 80 who has looked up at the night skies...and wondered.

The book and series are not to be missed!
