Almost no series or movie seems to withstand the test of time flawlessly and documentaries always seem to be the hardest hit by the passage of years but this show is still absolutely fascinating, timely and well- presented.
One of the other reviewers likened it to the original "Cosmos" by Carl Sagean for it's timeless appeal and they're right- it IS just as timeless.
Granted, the "high tech" items that you see in the show are laughably old now and Burke's outfits are a bit dated but none of that matters because if you lifted the script and redid it word-for-word with new outfits and tech, it would still be interesting and applicable today.
In fact, actually, if anything it would be worse off for lacking Burke's approachable presentation style filled with infectious enthusiasm and humor.
TL;DR- Yes, it's old! But it's one of those you HAVE to watch at least once.
