Seth MacFarlane Hosts the New Reboot of Carl Sagan's Cosmos

— August 7, 2011 — Pop Culture
As a lifelong fan of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, a 13-part documentary series explaining our place in the universe, I have to temper my excitement of the upcoming reboot with a degree of caution. Why? Because Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is at the helm of the project.

After three months of original airtime, Carl Sagan's Cosmos was already a classic and potentially the most accessible scientific series since Bill Nye the Science Guy. From ontology to the origins of life, the Cornell professor magically simplified some of astrophysics' most complex subjects. And now, out of left field, the Fox Entertainment Group ordered a modern remake of the series, to be hosted by noted physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and produced by Seth MacFarlane, the comic genius behind Family Guy.

Although it makes sense to reboot a show that hinges on cutting-edge discoveries, the inclusion of a comedic angle is somewhat troubling. We'll have to wait until mid-2012 to see how this unlikely cocktail of talent turns out.
Trend Themes
1. Rebooting Scientific Documentaries - Opportunity to update classic series with modern storytelling techniques and appeal to a new generation of viewers.
2. Blending Science and Comedy - Exploring the potential for combining educational content with comedic elements to make scientific information more engaging and entertaining.
3. Reviving Classic Entertainment - The trend of bringing back beloved shows and giving them a fresh twist to captivate both original fans and new audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Media and Entertainment - Opportunity to create innovative documentaries and educational programs that entertain and inform.
2. Technology - Utilizing cutting-edge techniques and advancements in visual effects and storytelling to enhance scientific narratives.
3. Education - Creating educational content that engages and appeals to a wide range of learners by incorporating humor and entertaining elements.
