#14 Cosmos
i remember seeing the first one with Carl Sagan and on the first hour of watching the new one with Neil deGrasse Tyson (who i like) i turned it off when they started social justice warmongering and attacking the catholic religion right off the bat
it's a waist of time watching anything on TV today, all they want to do is preach to you, that's not entertainment, it's brainwashing

Winny,
I did the same thing. As soon as they stopped talking about the actual cosmos, I turned it off. If they wanted to make a show about all that boring nonsense, they should have called it something else.
