I bought this massive, 14-DVD set while in search of video materials to stimulate the the curiosity of a five-year old whose school has been doing a lot of space-related reading and discussion. I wanted to find materials that could build on what she’s already learned, and would be exciting but not too complicated or disturbing. Based on other reviews, I have high hopes for this collection, although I think it may not work (yet) for this young, budding scientist. I plan to review the episodes as I view them, so the review you see here so far is not a complete one. More like a review blog, I guess.

Anyway, the series that this “mega-set” collects are as follows:
“The Universe: The Complete Season One”
“The Universe: The Complete Season Two”
“The Planets”
“How the Earth Was Made”
And here are my reviews:
THE UNIVERSE, SEASON ONE: THE SUN
—————————————
Informative, but sensationalistic. Although many of the visual metaphors help illustrate complex phenomena — billiard balls used to show how atomic particles interact, for example — they are also confusing and misleading in many ways. The real problem, however, is in the overly dramatized, alarmist framing of the narration. One of those oily-voiced announcers, the kind that record political attack ads, tells us over and over of the “deadly” threat of the sun’s “terrible power”, computer graphics show the Earth buffeted by “explosions” of solar energy; at one point an actual shotgun is pointed at a beachball-sized model of the earth and is fired repeatedly, until the ball is destroyed. Yes, solar radiation can disrupt modern telecommunications, but is all the violent hype necessary to explain this? I learned a lot from this episode, but I wouldn’t show it to a young child; it’s simply too disturbing and confusing.
More to come. Stay tuned.
When my daughter and I first found The Universe on the History Channel, we knew it was a set we would have to own. We have been enjoying this set very much and all get so engrossed in each episode that the house could burn down around us. I would recommend it to anyone and feel it is appropriate for all age groups.
