Tyson sounds like he's addressing an audience of third graders. The cartoon segments are not only as dumbed-down as Tyson's monologues, but additionally, they look like they were done on MS Paint. Maybe it's because the over-the-top CGI segments ate up most of their budget.
I was in third grade when the original Cosmos came out. Carl Sagan didn't talk down to us and I had no trouble following it. Indeed, that series did more than anything to fuel my love of science. The new series utterly lacks both the passion of the original and the sense of urgency.
I had all of the original Cosmos episodes on a hard drive that has since failed. I think I'm going to have to reacquire it somehow.
