Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay
@luckytran He’s right about lowest common denominator programming (American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, etc.) and the dumbing down of America. He’s wrong about Beavis and ButtHead, some of that is brilliantly written satire and this applies to quite a few projects of that type. These kinds of shows can make you think. In the case of Beavis and ButtHead, it’s not as upfront. In the case of The Young Pope, a totally different show, it is. It is designed to make you think.
