History Channel's History of the Universe October 28, 2008
This product is what should be shown to young people to get them interested in science. Plenty of factual information on a myriad of subjects, including the sun, stars, our solar system, the big bang, planets, and plenty more. If science is what you are interested in, either for personal interest, or for an educational tool, this product is first rate!!
For those who continue to question... October 10, 2008

The episode on the Big Bang is worth the price just by itself. For anyone who ever wanted to know how "we" know what we know about the Big Bang, this contains one episode solely focused on that aspect. Yes, I too had learned most of this in grade school, but there are some who are not as fortunate (or need a refresher). Neil DeGrasse Tyson's quote at the end of that episode is priceless...

This series is what I like to refer to as a 'Dime Bag' documentary. In true History Chanel format, this series foregos intellectual content beyond adolescent levels, opting instead to work in as much sensationalism as possible. For example, a chapter entitled "The Most Violent Places in the Universe", threatens repeatedly that Black Holes are "Out There.. Prowling the darkness". The series is packed with this kind of crap, and it seems the History Chanel would have you believe that something out there in the dark, scary, violent, universe holds some aganizing death with your name on it; Be it torn to shreds from 'Prowling' black holes, Crushed by a meteor, or violently engulfed by the sun, etc. Seemingly, many topics touch on the violent nature of your demise should you venture too close, be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or be wearing a lose neck-tie.. whatever. If you want to sink your teeth into something with some meat on it, I recommend "Steven Hawkings Universe", where the only sensationalism is in the amazing facts and details presented on topics such as the infinite density of primortial matter comprising the 'singularity' from which the universe and all elements of matter were created. The great deal of thought provoking subject matter had me walking around in a daze for days. As for the History Chanels Universe..Everything in it, you should have learned in elementary school. Buy it for your kids maybe.
