If the objective is to sell science to the general public, then Neil deGrassi Tyson is the man for the job.
Sagan's Cosmos existed in an era when mainstream science was not under the sustained assault as it is today by young earth creationism, geocentricism, intelligent design, electric universe and a host of other crank movements.
Apart from spreading their own brand of nonsense is the deliberate campaign of misinformation on mainstream science.
Sagan could afford to present Cosmos in a fairly intellectual format in his day, but whether this would be effective now is debatable.
