I have Dark Matter, Dark Energy and think it's great. I've watched it all the way through twice. I've done eighteen of the Teaching Company's classes (physics, math, history, philosophy, neuroscience, and more) and it is definitely the best one I've seen. I've sent the link to my wife for my Xmas list - the new book was already on it. To commenters above who were dissing the lectures - watch them first. They're excellent. This is great news.

I sure Sean probably gets about $1 for every course sold. If you’d click on the link you’d see the price is between $35-70, depending on which format you choose.
