What our customer's say!

"Battlestar Galactica - 1980", I thought it was great. Just wish there could have been more episodes. Left a lot of windows open.

"Galactica was always a joke", the 1978 series had tons of effects and no plot. This series had no plot, few effects, and bad acting. The new show is nothing but porn, but so many worship it like it was a new relgion or something. All in all a show for losers.

"Don't. Just don't.", Please avoid this series. Even if you're a fan of the original BSG or the 2004 remake. ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of the original BSG or the 2004 remake.

"I Actually Really Liked This!", I'd heard for many years how awful this show was. Well, it is, kind of. But I liked it. I was very entertained by even the most (for that time) politically correct episode (there are many environmentalist issues at hand since "higher intelligence" deals with we "dumb modern day humans"). It's about the Galactica finding earth and then two guys making sure earth is safe from Cylons, that is, making sure that we could in fact battle Cylons if they happened to attack, and follows their adventures in a modern day society with their special space skills, and flying motorcycles, and bionic children. And a cylon actually lands on earth and kidnaps Wolfman Jack. Now if I were to have read this a month ago, I'd think there wouldn't be any way for it to be good... But every episode keeps you interested, somehow. Seeing Robbie "Cousin Oliver" Rist and Robert "Mr. Brady" Reed in the same episode (although never on screen together) was kind of funny. Kent McCord as the grown up "Boxey" is good; Barry Van Dyke (son of Dick) as his sidekick (McCord is the "Apollo" while Van Dyke is the "Starbuck", per say) isn't good at all. Van Dyke is about as wooden as a log cabin as far as acting goes, and his voice sounds like an FM dj. "Adama" played by Lorne Greene and "Boomer" (who has basically replaced "Col. Tigh" as second in command) are the only original cast members, and it's kind of relaxing to have them there even though they aren't involved much since they stay in space, and most of the show is on the ground. "Starbuck" (Dirk Benedict) is the center of the final episode. The entire series (including the original) ends with our hero "Starbuck" (the "Han Solo" of BG) stranded on a barren planet. A total cliffhanger, leaving me to realize the show was canned while trying to "tease" the studios into letting it stick around. And do we ever get to hear about what happened to "Appolo" and his sister, or "Cass"? Anyhow, this show had time travelling, space dog fights, and a very, very cool visual-scenerio of Cylons blowing up earth. Pretty neat. And as I've mentioned, the stories are involving. Kept me watching. While I wasn't on the edge of my seat, I was firmly planted on the middle of my couch, and enjoyed myself the entire time.

"Good", I got this DVD, but it locks up all the time. One show I can't see period of the 8 shows on the two disks, because I can't get it past the blockage where it stopped. The others are fine. The others are perfect, and I would still get this set with all the problems.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Low budget & campy, but worth seeing.", I agree with most of the former reviewers. This is a sad, after thought to the most ground-breaking sci-fi TV series EVER: Battlestar Galactica, the Epic Series (1978).

The amazing music, the Cyclons, the cast, the writing and the incredible miniatures created by John Dykstra - the genius behind the spaceships in Star Wars - brought an epic, cinematic approach to television never before seen.

I recommend this only as a "completion" to your original BSG collection, and for the handful of cool episodes mentioned in the other reviews.

As far as the "new" Battlestar Galactica, I can only say one thing: CHEESE. The CGI is the WORST. The acting is third rate, and the writing is a FAR cry from the original series. I suffered through three episodes on the Sci-Fi channel and refused to watch it again. It may even be worse than 1980. It just cannot recreate the magic and genius of Glen Larson's original. Sorry.

"The End.", 'Galactica 1980' proves you should never overstay your welcome on the TV screen.(Something the new 'Battlestar Galactica' writers and executives better take note of!)

Sadly the potential of BSG finding Earth is realised but in a very disjointed and confusing way.

At the end of the orginal series, Apollo picks up the TV transmission of the 1969 luna landings via an old radio and starchart observation dome mounted topside of Galactica's hull. Unable to decipher what it is, Apollo leaves it alone and that's the end of the original series...

No doubt TV executives were convinced that an arrival to the long lost planet would work...However many of the original charcters, mainly Richard Hatch, refused to sign up and so the new series is based ten years after in our year 1980. This time it's Apollo's son 'Boxey' who is actually named Troy and his close freind Dillon that are the lead men. How on earth they managed to convince Lorne Green to reprise his role as Adama is unknown to this reviewer. He is left an old man with no serious role execpt to constanly talk into his dictator. A new charcter, 'Dr Zee', child genius helps explain why many people suddenly turned off...

The series starts off alright with the discovery that Earth is woefully unprepaired for the potential of an intergalactic war. In a rolling three episode storyline a plan to travel back in time to 1944 sees the charcter Xavier, a renegade fleet commander attempt to help the Nazis inmprove their rocket technology, it is Troy and Dillon that save the day.

After that, the entire series starts to slide into mediocrity, that even half way through I'm sure the TV executives at Universal were now saying enough! The inclusion of a Children's storyline ruined everything and a brief forray into the Cylons finally landing ends in stupidity.
Surprisingly the axe fell at the one of the most intriguing episodes, 'The Return Of Starbuck' with Dirk Benidict reprising his role to explain the 'birth' of child genius, Dr Zee. The last few seconds of this episode sees Starbuck staring aimlessly out over the desert as the final credits roll. Ending what should never have been made!

If you are looking for epic space battles...there aren't any. If you want to see what everyone looked like in 1980, bring a sick bag...

The two discs contain the 10 episodes and not much else, it's just not worth it.

"I dont know", It wasn't the movie I thought it was. I have only watch a little bit of it so I don't know what I think of it at this point.

"Great TV Series", I enjoyed watching this show growing up and I'll continue to enjoy it in my home.

"Had Potential", Galactica 1980 had potential, but suffered from poor writing poor editing and not enough of a budget. They skipped the mystery of actually finding Earth and suddenly are already there. Then the Cylons pop out of nowhere after 30 years and force them to lead them away. How did they stay in range of Earth while flying away from it?! It was nice to see Lorne Green, but all he does is play 2nd fiddle to 'Dr Zee', Gone is the imaginative and decisive Adama of old. It is also a treat to see Barry Van Dyke as dillon. He does a wonderful job of getting into trouble trying to assimilate into Earth culture. He even accidently robs a bank!
The plot eventually thickens with advanced cylon and human ships being introduced as well as human looking cylons. I think if the show had been allowed to go on and the writers had been willing to change the formula to advance the plot (that is, make real changes to Earth), they might have had a good story to tell.
