"Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will serve as executive producer on a new series of Carl Sagan&amp;#039;s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. The classic space documentary aired in 1980 on PBS and is to be brought back to television on Fox for a new 13-episode run. &amp;quot;We are obsessed with angels and vampires and whatnot when there are many more exciting and very real and much more spectacular things to be excited about that are right in our own planetary backyard,&amp;quot; MacFarlane told The New York Times. MacFarlane, best known for his animated comedy series, will serve as producer on the new series alongside Sagan&amp;#039;s widow Ann Druyan. &amp;quot;This is obviously a complete departure from anything that I&amp;#039;ve done professionally, but it&amp;#039;s very comfortable territory for me personally,&amp;quot; MacFarlane added. Earlier this year, Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show were all renewed for additional seasons. Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey will air on Fox in 2013.
