Any watchers out there besides myself? Prolly the only show on the major networks I watch anymore.. Pretty entertaining stuff.. Didn't watch tonight, but I'm gonna catch it after the game.. Great show..
I haven't watched it yet, but the episodes have been piling up on my htpc, so I'll probably get to it when it ends and binge watch it. 

I've watched a little of 2 episodes.  I dig it.

 

A number of folks in Kansas do not

I think i watched every episode of Through the Wormhole, so I kinda compare it to that show. I've only seen one episode of Cosmos, and my initial impression is Cosmos has better graphics, and higher production value, but isn't really more groundbreaking and thought provoking than Through the Wormhole was. Even so, I really liked it and plan on watching every episode of Cosmos too.

Through the Wormhole is awesome as hell too..
I love it. It's always cool to have educational programming on network TV.
I've watched every episode except for last night, and it's recorded. I agree with the post above about Through the Wormhole, it's not as thought provoking as that but still interesting. I watch the Cosmos remake as homage to Carl Sagan, plus I really enjoy Neil deGrasse Tyson. Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, is a writer for the remakes.

Not intrested in trying to start a Holy War.

 

So,  the Kansas Legislature wants to issue for all intents and purposes a Christian "Fatwah" against Cosmos.

This is very disturbing as the lawmakers are fine with freedom of religion provided it is Christian.

Intrestingingly the Kansas House does not have authority over broadcast license.

 

 History shows from the days of the Moral Majority that pretty soon the keepers

of the purity of faith will turn on themselves to drive out the non true believers.

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Man alive!   Is that for real?   That reads like some kind of spoof.  
The article has to be satire.
Never even heard of it

I enjoy the show a lot.  That article is pretty extreme but it does annoy me when he puts in little unnecessary quips that he knows will rub some people the wrong  way.

It appears to be a spoof.

 

However this is Kansas. ;-0
