I ended up getting: Futurama This is one of the funniest shows that has ever been on TV. While I've seen every episode, the real reason to get the DVDs was for the commentary and deleted scenes. The commentary is really well done on the Futurama DVDs. From Earth to the Moon A series I have wanted to watch for quite a while. I am quite interested in Astronomy, and have watched quite a few other series, though those were more scientific than this 'historical' recreation. Those series included, Cosmos, Stephen Hawking's Universe and The Planets (Hyperspace). Out of all of those, I would recommend The Planets (with Sam Neil) as the most attention holding, while covering all the basic points that would be of interest to the casual astronomer. Cosmos is quite comprehensive, and goes into a lot of the history of Astronomy (and by relation science), but it is rather long and can be a bit dull at times. Stephen Hawking's Universe was a bit hard to understand (not over technical, but just not that clear), and it covers many of points which most amateur astronomers would already be familiar with. Is there anyone who doesn't know that A BLACK HOLE'S GRAVITY IS SO STRONG THAT NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE IT?
