Sixteen half-hour episodes aired in the first season, followed by a two-hour finale drawing connections between the sixteen topics.

How does the cellphone in your pocket link to the Big Bang, the evolution of human memory, and even the Titanic disaster? Big History reveals how cosmic forces conspired to give us the tool that has revolutionized the planet.
