Good stuff, thanks for the heads up.

Was starting to get sad now all the space shows on foxtel have finished.

Regards Matt.

Funny you should mention that, the universe just started its fourth season in the US.

Dont know about you but I found this program very disappointing. The worst part about it was the 60 adverts during the "1 hour" show. 60 ads at 30 secs each = 30mins (approx) so the show could have been shown in a 30 min time slot. Almost worthwhile getting pay TV.

I can't say I noticed the ads. I was a bit late getting to it, and then outranked at the end (farmer wants a wife on the other channel...).

It seemed to be a bit of showcase of animation / graphics / space art. Nothing new in it for astro geeks but then its not really aimed at us. Hopefully it may have captured a few more imaginations.

Yeh it was a pretty ordinary show - 100% cgi. It was "ok" but didn't contain anything new for me.

Hi
Yes it was nothing I hadn't seen before. BUT in the 7:30 slot it was by far the best program available.

I think I would have preferred to watch SBS and Top Gear.

Haven't seen it yet, but I always record anything these days that I may want to watch...I don't have time to watch ads, or program padding. I saw a couple of snippets while getting the TV ready to watch the previous nights Dancing with the Stars...I watch any show with an astronomical slant...even if it is only in the title

Looked like an intro level show, as people have said not aimed at us, but maybe it will interest some kids enough to follow up.

Quite ordinary, but my 10 year old absolutely loved it, wants to watch it a third time.

I watched it last night. It was OK, I wasn't expecting anything in depth and there wasn't.

Hopefully there are a few that watched and are "converted" and become stargazers too. My 3 year old granddaughter took a little interest and is now asking "whats that?" pointing at the sky.
