When did this show first go on air? late 70's? early 80's? anyone know?

@Baltahfeek

wikipedia says 1980

How can someone watch all of this and then state that they think it's still ok to keep an open mind on astrology.  You clearly learnt nothing.

Astrology is bollocks...human muppet bollocks!

What was that New York Post headline at 3:31..."The Beatles are Back"?! I wonder what that story was. When Sagan was filming this series, John Lennon was still with us.

Thanks for uploading. Waiting for someone to upload the original versions of this classic series. Not the revamped, re-edited, changed soundtracks, politically correct versions. YUCK!

The 1 dislike must have been from the Pope

@28october19731 I was born in '68 but was absolutely into star trek and other sci-fi movies in my youth that I missed on the real thing from Sagan. Later I strayed into religion and it changed my view on things albeit for a short while, but I am glad to say I am back where I started having figured out that religion's full of man-made nonsense injected into it so as to make it totally unreliable. Sagan was a great scientist, he will be missed. His style is unique and compassionate!

I love how Sagan makes fun of astrology but in a nice way...what had happened last time that say Venus was rising in the constellation of the goat...

[28october19731]

@Baltahfeek It was great back then...when were you born?

[28october19731]

@SirNewt sure miss 1980 COMPARED TO 2011!!! What a fucking joke the world is now and has become since probably like about 1986...wow, what the fuck happened???!!! Can you guess what happened? I can...

The only real way real science could be on speaking terms with atrology is as if the motions of the planets shifted some subconcious algorithm in key cephalic regions. Sometimes it has spawned real developments but it has virtually no utility. Amazingly there are far more stars in the known universe than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world and it is just possible based on some calculations it is eloted that planets may outnumber stars by several hundred or so times.
