Carl Sagan Cosmos change my life I'm thinking about doing a post trying to get people to discuss Cosmos the series and how it affected them. for you youngsters it's available on YouTube for free
I couldn't wait for it to come on every week. Between Sagan's Cosmos and David Attenborough's Life on Earth, my life at that time was complete.
I read "Contact" before the movie came out. I was surprised the novel had some emotional heft. Art Bell used the clip, "Wanna take a ride?" on his radio show after the movie came out. (Yes, I listened to Art Bell. It was fun and free in the '90s.)
I'm another Art Bell fan as a night shift worker Art got me through those long shifts... and he was entertaining. I have some oh his best audio clips.

On Family Guy they did Carl Sagan's Cosmos...edited for rednecks.
Very much so, and then the remake with Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson. Which btw is having another season starting soon.
I just finished watching the first episode. Google: "youtube cosmos sagan episode 1" if you want to see it. Very enjoyable.
For a couple of years there was an internet streaming channel that played nothing but episodes of Cosmos, back to back.
