"Cosmos" on DVD.


Is that the series with Carl Sagan doing the narrating?   IF so, I have it on VHS from the beginning of VHS, availability.

To my great surprise, after getting my new video receiver up and running, I have found that even playing an ancient video tape, the quality of the reproduction is vastly improved from anything I have ever seen. The receiver de-interlaces, upscales and de-snows the imagery and what is projected is well improved over what the original was capable of producing.

I would love to have it on a proper disc!!

That's the one. All 13 episodes on DVD, with reasonable quality and "science updates" by Sagan form some time before his death.

I love that series. Carl Sagan was instrumental in my decision to study astronomy.


We have just about worn out the tapes I have, with my son watching them so much.

Astronomy just happens to be my sons favorite subject at the moment - screw the dragons and dinosaurs - He is into all that goes on in the universe.

 :lol:

The updates is what intrigues me. That collection would make a perfect birthday present for him, if I can find it.

Thanks.

I have almost a month to get it done. I will try the family website, first. Paying full retail is irrelevant, when compared to supporting a true historical icon.

I still have my trouble avoiding the clearance table at work.

Storage is my downfall.

I got a 2T external (Western Digital, Elite) for sixty five bucks and a 1.5T internal (Seagate Barracuda) for thirty nine bucks.

Do not really need the external, but the internal will be a welcome and usable servant.
