Simply Superb, the film, the text and the music. 10 stars !!
This is the best documentary TV series I have watched in all my life from the early 80s. Get and enjoy it as a great tribute to Mr. Carl Sagan.
Keywords from my part for this product: documentary, education, astronomy, history, culture, peace, world, science, technology, space, hope, past, present, future, emotion, effort,human kind, great quality, motivation, biography, animation, travel and trip, evolution, reflexion, wisdom, social contribution, nostalgia and souvenir.
I recommend this set not only for the technical release but also for the text, the message, the images and for the extraordinary quality in all aspects, even the box as a container.
The music is superb. Let's remember the main theme "Heaven and hell" by Vangelis Papathanasious.
A special set not only for home but also for school and libraries.
I give not only 5 stars but 10 !!!

One of life's most see
The Cosmos series should be required viewing by all students prior to reaching the eighth grade. Absolutely mesmerizing. Watching this series should change how you view the world, our Earth and your place in it. I would love to have seen Carl Sagan be able to have amended and added his latest thoughts to this series since we have landed on Mars. He does do some amended thoughts in this DVD series prior to his death. I tend not to read lengthy reviews so I will close by saying, "Cosmos leaves you wanting more wishing that you had 100 hours to view, truly a masterpiece". It will take you to another place, a place that you wish you could stay.

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Curiously not outdated though it was produced over a quarter of a century ago, this series isn't simply a tour of the cosmos but rather a synthesis of several disiplines in an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.
