I think This show is completely underrated.

Battlestar Galactica, the only award-winning drama that dares tackle the war on terror | The Guide | guardian.co.uk

Beside Grace Park being asian....The entire cast is pulling off some amazing stuff...

There is quality in camera work,CGI sound....Oh man.

It's like a dream military drama ever...story of honor and real warrior stuff...Of course it's hollywoodized but better than just massive blood and bullets TV

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm contemplating renting the DVDs. I see the commercials all the time when I'm watching Doctor Who, and it looks really good. It seems like another show I can talk to my dad and brother about at least.

Hmm... I tried watching some episodes but couldn't get into them. It felt like Xena/Hercules but in space for me. Maybe I will give it a try if I see that an episode is on.

I saw the original BG. Big deal back then and was the most expensive TV show of its time. $1 mil an episode, said to be partly blamed for its short lived demise. When Richard Hatch appeared on the original Survivor I thought wtf? That's THE same Richard Hatch from BG?? Luckily the gay fat guy isn't the same person. LOL.

Battle Star Galactica
"Battlestar Galactica" (1978)

from wiki...
Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Main article: Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)
Glen A. Larson, the Executive Producer of Battlestar Galactica, has stated in many interviews that he originally conceived of the Galactica premise in the late 1960s, which he originally called Adam's Ark. However, he was unable to get the project greenlit for many years.
Battlestar Galactica was finally produced in the wake of the success of the 1977 film Star Wars. In fact, 20th Century Fox sued Universal Studios (the studio behind Battlestar Galactica) for copyright infringement, claiming that it had stolen 34 distinct ideas from Star Wars. Universal promptly countersued, claiming Star Wars had stolen ideas from the 1972 film Silent Running (notably the robot "drones") and the Buck Rogers serials of the 1940s. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed in 1980.
Initially, Larson envisioned Battlestar Galactica as a series of made-for-TV movies (a three-hour pilot and two two-hour episodes) for the ABC television network. A shortened version of the three-hour pilot, Saga of a Star World, was released in Canadian theaters (before the series aired) and American theaters (after the series aired), and instead of two additional movies, a weekly television series followed.
In 1979 at the 6th Annual People's Choice Awards, the series won for Best New TV Drama Series. [1]
During the eight months after pilot was broadcast, 17 original episodes of the series were aired (five of them two-part shows), totaling 24 hours of broadcasting. Citing declining ratings and cost overruns, ABC canceled Battlestar Galactica in April, its last episode "The Hand of God" premiering on April 29, 1979.

[edit] Galactica 1980

Main article: Galactica 1980
During the autumn of 1979, ABC executives met with Galactica's creator Glen A. Larson to consider a relaunch of the series. A suitable concept was needed to draw viewers, and it was decided that the arrival of the Colonial Fleet at contemporary Earth would be the storyline. A new television movie entitled Galactica 1980 was rushed into production. Again, it was decided this new version of Galactica would be made into a weekly series. Despite the early success of the première, the show failed to achieve the popularity of the original series and was canceled after only ten episodes.
In this 1980 sequel series, the fleet finds Earth and covertly protects it from the Cylons. This series was a quick failure due to its low budget (e.g., recycling footage from the 1974 Universal Studios film Earthquake, during a Cylon attack sequence), widely-panned writing, and ill-placed time slot (Sundays at 7:00 p.m., a time slot generally reserved for family-oriented programming and, more specifically, 60 Minutes). The show also had to adhere to strict content restrictions such as limiting acts of violence and being required to shoehorn educational content into the script and dialogue. To cut costs, the show was set mostly on contemporary Earth, to the great dismay of fans. Another factor for fan apathy was the nearly complete recasting of the original series: Lorne Greene reprised his role as Adama (and worked pro bono), Herb Jefferson Jr. played (now Colonel) Boomer in only half of the episodes (with almost no screentime), and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck for only one (the abrupt final episode), which was mostly unused footage from the original series. Some syndication packages for Battlestar Galactica incorporate the episodes of this series.

[edit] Cinema releases

Besides a re-edited version of the pilot, released originally in Canada, Europe and parts of Latin America and, following the broadcast of the series, in the U.S., two other Battlestar Galactica feature films were released in cinemas. Both Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack and Conquest of the Earth were made up of various episodes of the original series and Galactica 1980 respectively. (See: List of Battlestar Galactica feature films)

I never got a chance to watch the show, but I would love to watch it. I like to see sexy asian woman in tv shows.

I remembered watching the very first series from 1979 and there was a scene with some wires that had Made in USA written on them.

LOL. Today it would say "Made in India/China/any where that cheap labor can be found through outsourcing and exploited".

I remember the original....It was sooooo baaad, It made me not watch the new series...(like I had a TV to begin with...hehehe)

I didn't watch the new series until like a year after it was over....

Here's an interesting tidbit about the new Battlestar Galactica. It's filmed here (Vancouver Canada), I think they may have wrapped it up now. I know some stuntpeople that have worked on it. Sometimes I recognize some of the locations used in the scenes.
