I watched my copy of Universe only a few days ago, but this thread sparked me into watching Solar System again over the last two nights.
They are both great series, But i get a feeling that the success of Solar system kinda made them think that Universe would be an easy ride and they didnt put as much into it.
Solar system is more factual and the way Brian explains things with simple everyday items, rocks, sticks etc I thought was "Beautiful" ( a word he uses far too often )
I really like the guy, his childish enthusiasm is inspiring, but i think they missed the boat a little with Universe
