Where did you hear this from? I though the series is doing well.

I searched the interwebs and could find nothing indicating that this show has been canceled.

I do find it funny that a station in Oklahoma "accidently" ran a news promo over the Evolution portion of the show!

Wow Elmer!

Sometimes things like this make me wonder what year this is.

Even the Catholic Church allows for a belief in Evolution (provided that you believe that that was the way God did it).

I thought that people of today realized that shutting out an opposing view point does not make your belief any stronger or weaker.

That cancellation info was from TIME magazine's print edition. The show premiered at 5.8 million viewers, not a good start.

This was posted at tvline.com 2 days ago: "Cosmos then drew 4.9 mil and a 1.9, down 16 percent and two tenths from its week-ago launch on Fox."

Watch it while you can, I reckon.

I guess the general population has no interest in learning and expanding there minds. If you keep the fart jokes coming you will have a number one hit.

I have also noticed a trend on discovery and the history channels. They seem to be getting away from real education and are showing more and more fake documentaries of the redneck persuasion.

Let's hope natgeo keeps it rolling

Ahhh yes, but Fox is not the only network that broadcasted Cosmos. The show was also broadcasted on the Nat Geo channel (and a handful of others). I wonder what they would get if they added all those viewers as well.

Edmond Halley

Last Sunday's episode was simply awesome.

I especially liked the bit about the death of Edmond Halley (of Halley's Comet fame)

He was 85 years old, called for a glass of wine, drank it, then passed very peacefully by his fireplace.

That is how I want to go out!
