I remember watching that with my folks - Sagan always pronounced Mars as 'Morruz'
His description of a four dimensions with 'Flatland' was very good, in the same way as Ustinov explained the theory of relativity with trains and somebody else did black holes with a weight on a rubber sheet. Remove one dimensiion and things get so much easier!

The soundtrack in the original Cosmos was awesome. Vangelis featured a lot Hope the new version carries on with this tradition.

I converted the audio from Cosmos to an audio book. Very good indeed on its own without the visuals. Still my favorite doc thus far.
And therein lies a difference - the modern 'space documentary' is 90% CGI and music, 10% facts. But hey, they need the ratings.Although Coxie did OK with table condiments and cigarette lighters.
