Tampering with the Cosmos

I have been watching Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" on The Science Chanel.
If you have never seen Cosmos you have missed out.
Carl Sagan has a wonderful way of explaining the way the heavens move, breath, and behave.

However it is NOT the original series that ran on PBS.
It has been edited.
While Sagan discussed dinosaurs the simple line drawing where replaced by CGI of dinosaurs used in other TV series such a Dinosaurs Planet.

Is this necessary?
I doubt it.
It seems this is a case of not being able to leave well enough alone. People like this would draw eyebrows on the Mona Lisa.

Cheers to The Science Chanel for running Cosmos.
Boo to Science Channel for not being able to keep there hands off a classic.
