The original series was some of the best TV I've ever seen.

I sort of thought the same thing, but FOX is more about making money than anything else (contrast FOX news with Family Guy) and this is cable channel fodder for years.

I'm watching it on the Nat Geo channel.

I get that impression about him too.    Smart folks can get self-absorbed.    I just hope he puts it in English and not Scientific.

Seth MacFarlane being a producer for it probably also has something to due with Fox showing it.

NASA is never gonna get funding again. The public doesn't care and there is nothing to be gained for politicians by pushing for it to get funding. Neither the left or right would get behind it because it would involve spending on something that isn't one of their pet projects.

Pretty much would take a 'MERICA moment to get it started again.

Which shocked me. I think of Family Guy and the "We Saw Your Boobs" song on that award show when I think of MacFarlane.

The Christian Mingle commercial surprised me. I watched it on Nat Geo, not on FOX. Did FOX show lame commercials, too? For NoNo and what not?

I found it surprising too.  Host even mentioned "natural selection" as a topic to be covered in a future episode.

And then he advanced the preposterous theory that the earth was created more than 10,000 years ago.    Outrageous.

FWIW, seems they might have exaggerated giordano bruno's historical record:

But NGT did note that Bruno wasn't a scientist.

The concept of "scientist" didn't really exist back then.  Mostly self-taught or at best, tutored.
