The TV version preserves the form and excited tone of the podcast, with better production values and a bigger stage. Read full review

The show’s staging in the Hall of the Universe at New York’s American Museum of Natural History in front of an audience is a little low-concept, but the enthusiasm of Mr. Liu and Ms. Lord in Monday’s premiere keeps Star Talk from getting too dry. Read full review

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s new weekly late-night talk show plays like a Flintstones vitamin. He wraps the real message in the kind of sweet packaging that makes viewers hardly notice they’re getting something that’s good for them. Read full review

What emerges is a disjointed affair. Read full review

On StarTalk, Tyson must interact with guests, and his instincts fail him. He’s impatient. He rambles. And he sands down the edges on every topic rather than raising his viewers up. Read full review

I'm definitely NOT a science person, but he manages to make even unadulterated science interesting to me. This show's a keeper NGC!… Expand

I think it's a wonderful way to get "average" people to get interested in science. Most people will not tune in to a science based show as many consider it too boring. Tyson has a clever way of getting information to people without it seeming like a documentary. Well done.
