OMG! Great decision!
The DVDs are wonderful. They don't make TV like that anymore.
Not only is it scientific but it also reaches out to infinity and lets you marvel at the astonishing beauty of the Creation. Both the universe out there and our own Earth here.
When it comes to being amazed by the creation and our contemplation of it, the only other DVD that I find to be of comparable quality is Koyaanisqatsi. (Which is another gem you might want to check out after you finish watching Cosmos)
