Since I loved the original and it helped me to have a lifelong love of science, I am watching these with my 11 year old son.
The first one took a LOOOONNNGGG shit on the Church during Reconstruction, but it was worth it for the Known Universe Calendar segment.
Check out this conversation with a 9 year old boy. I especially like it when the whole conversation changes when the kid mentions "non-Newtonian solid" LOL.
