- Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2024Verified PurchaseVery happy with this DVD set!
- Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2018Verified PurchaseAfter having seen Neil deGrasse Tyson's 2014 Cosmos, I got intrigued by his inspiration and grabbed Carl Sagan's 1980 original as soon as it dropped below C$70. I was apprehensive to spend so much on a 40-year-old series, but the risk paid off: this was clearly state-of-the-art in 1980, and because most of the contents focuses on history, very little is actually outdated as of today. Most episodes have an added-on 5-10 minute update epilogue from Sagan himself recorded around 1990.
Last but not least, the series covers different enough subjects and scientists' lives vs the 2014 Cosmos that I see both as complementing each other rather well, with only maybe a 20-25% overlap.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2024Verified PurchaseI always loved to listen to Carl Sagan explain his thoughts. This series is terrific.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2014Verified PurchaseThe original Cosmos has proven to be indeed timeless. The observations, concepts and sentiments presented there in rang true when they were first put forth and many have become prophetic. The series, so well written by the late Dr Sagan his wife Ann Druyan and Steven Soter, stands as the standard to which similar documentaries must aspire. Carl Sagan¡¯s Cosmos, in the DVD format, is a must addition to any video library.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2018Verified PurchaseGreat product. Sagan was good at it. Great teacher. Easy understanding. Feel like I am back to school. Wish I had him as a teacher. Might be outdated technically but the subject is still the same. The best of the best.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2013Verified PurchaseSo much to learn and so little time. Sagan is a great teacher and I am inspired to learn more. The series is scientific, historical, educational, and definitely entertaining. There are so many stories in this series. There are many biographies played out by actors in their proper settings. It is a real masterpiece. You won't regret owning this.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2017Verified PurchaseGreat series, remember watching it on Public stations back then.It's sad Dr. Sagan is no longer with us or he would have done an updated series with all the new discoveries, I rate it high as it stands along other great science series like Dr. Jacob Bronowki "The Ascent of Man"

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo!
Verified PurchaseSpedizione velocissima! Prodotto in perfette condizioni. Non potevo chiedere di meglio. Un documentario scientifico che ha fatto storia e ognuno dovrebbe aver visto.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good
Verified PurchaseYes it is old, yes the image is far from HDTV but the content is the most interesting thing I've seen on tv in two decades, before they decided that we were too dumb and that tv had to be about celebrities...
A must watch for everyone and you don't have to be scientific minded as Sagan's ability to explain science in original ways has made him a highly recognized popularizer of science. The mix of poetry and science makes this show enjoyable for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See¡45 year gap doesn¡¯t lessens Carl Sagan¡¯s message!
Verified PurchaseI highly recommend this TV series from 1980s. Carl Sagan, Cornell University Astronomy studies, is a master presenter of his Personal Voyage. COSMOS: a Personal Voyage is the title. Sagan touches on everything from Death from Cold War becoming ¡°hot¡±, science through the ages, science history which could have gone the other way, the Big Bang, importance of libraries, books, reading, how we are called to Space¡I¡¯m calling it a Must See! He puts his soul into this Magnum Opus. I wish we had a 2025 ¡°Carl Sagan¡±¡
