Cute, but...

The "comedy" bits are actually a little distracting.

More slapstick than astronomy

I'm far beyond teenager, so not impressed by 10% information & the rest joking around at assistant's expense.

We Love You Guys!

My 9 year old son loves your program and his middle school sister is always sneaking in to watch some too. My son loves all space science and he watches Discovery shows, Stephen Hawkings and more. But he’s never laughed out loud while doing any of this. He laughs at every episode. We’re on #13 now and already sad it will be over too soon. Any more guys??
