Cosmos
PBS (ended 2005)Carl Sagan brings us the Cosmos, everything that ever was and ever will be, in an approach that is easily accessible even for those of us that are not science wizards. This 13 part series covers everything from the history of astronomy, the challenges it faced at its creation, how the universe was created and how it all might end, to the evolution of life on Earth, and the nature of the human brain. First aired in 1980 by the Public Broadcasting Service, Cosmos has seen multiple versions over the years. When the series was released on home video in the late 1980s, a 14th episode was included, which consisted of an interview between Dr. Sagan and Ted Turner. Dr. Sagan taped new epilogues for the 10th anniversary version in 1990, in which he addressed new discoveries and alternate viewpoints. The Science Channel rebroadcast the series on its 25th anniversary in 2005 with enhanced computer graphics. The series was awarded an Emmy and a Peabody Award.

Ancient Lives
AthenaAncient Lives provides an insightful and detailed look into the lives of the ancient Egyptians. Helmed by acclaimed Egyptologist John Romer, this series explores daily life as it took place several thousand years ago in a small village near Thebes. Romer and his colleagues explore residential ruins and enter lavishly decorated tombs to explore the relics inside. Artifacts found in the village ruins are used to reconstruct daily life for the average Egyptian; viewers learn how these people lived, ate, worked, and worshipped. Ancient Lives also explores many of the famed tombs of the great Pharaohs; cameras are brought inside the tombs themselves to show viewers the priceless tomb relics in their original context. Examination of these remarkable tombs also provides clues about the thousands of artisans, craftsmen and laborers who worked to build and beautify the final resting places of Egypt's royalty. Romer also provides a fascinating look into tomb raiding, and explains many methods the ancient Egyptians used to secure their tombs against future desecration and looting.moreless
