I'm not sure if you caught this, but apparently all of Cosmos is available on Hulu.
Thank you very much for posting this, Jesso. My parents used to go to the bar every week when Cosmos first ran to watch it with their friends, and the program and Sagan as a person both played significant roles in my appreciation of empirical observation, my skepticism, and my love of hard science. Cosmos taught me how to put the natural world in both non-mutually-exclusive realms of concrete thought and aesthetic appreciation. This made me feel like I was four again, and I felt more at home than I have in years.
Seconding that sentiment. Carl Sagan's ability to express his passion for science is truly inspiring. The Pale Blue Dot is probably one of the most touching and poignant passages ever written. It's long been a personal view of mine that science and space travel continually remind us that we should be a little less full of ourselves and take care of each other.

This video is pretty much everything that I wish people would see in science.
