I liked it!, December 27, 2007
By C. Hammer "Dave P." - See all my reviews

I loved the original show and was sad to see it canceled. Everyone is
saying this this show was so bad- including it's producer. I disagree.
This show had a lot of potential.

One problem was that the many stories started to go in various
directions. Any one of which, could have been interesting. I really
liked Kent McCord and Barry Van Dyke as well.

The Sci-Fi community is full of snobs who have no tolerance for any
shows except their pet favorites. I really liked this show and wish it
continued.

The last episode: Return of Starbuck, was interesting and seemed to
leave open future possibilities. Help other customers find the most

Half hokey fun / half horrid horrid horrid excrement, January 11,
2008
By Fortean Anomalie (way way way out there) - See all my reviews

This show stared out promising but quickly went down hill

IF you buy this DO NOT (I repeat DO NOT) under any circumstances watch
"Spaceball" or "Super Scouts"

The 3-part pilot was fun in a hokey-late-seveties kinda way and there
is a Halloween episode with Wolfman Jack that has Human-looking
Cylons;these are cheesey fun.

What you REALLY want this for is "The Return Of Starbuck" in which
Dirk Benedict gives a tour-de force performance that makes you wonder
why he never became a really huge star!! He carries practically the
entire episode as he is marooned on an alien world with only a Cylon
and an apparently mute woman for company.(Too bad the show was
bookended with scenes of Dr.Zee{who really, really wasn't worth the
sacrifice--you'll see}) Help other customers find the most helpful

If you're a BSG Fan, this set it worth it, February 6, 2008
By Matthew W. Corey "NC Movie Fan" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

Yes, the extreme cost cutting shows in the re-used footage, and some
of the scenes reek of late 70's - early 80's kid shows, but there are
some bright spots in this short lived follow up.

The opening 3-parter features guest star Robert Reed, and a scene with
Brion James and Mickey Jones. The 2-parter "The Night the Cylons
Landed" features Wolfman Jack and William Daniels (the original voice
of KITT from Knight Rider). That episode also features the first
appearance of a Cylon in human form.

And there is the "Return of Starbuck" episode where in addition to
getting Starbuck back for another hour, there is Cy voiced by Gary
Owens (Adult Swim views know him) and Judith Chapman (Gloria on Young
& The Restless) as Angela.

Dennis Haysbert is briefly in the "Space Croppers" episode.

The whole story line with the kids (half of them were related to Glen
A. Larson) went on too long, but this was produced more as a kids show
originally.

Kent McCord and Barry Van Dyke do a good enough job, their only crime
is they weren't Apollo & Starbuck. Viewers will also get a laugh at
the re-cycled footage. Every time Troy and Dillon fly off on their
cycles, they show the same shot of them going over the same LA
landscape.

If you can sufficiently suspend your dis-belief (and in some cases
your common sense) you'll probably enjoy watching these episodes. Help

A must-have for BSG TOS fans, September 27, 2007
By Dr. Richard Daystrom "creator, M-5 multitroni... (Daystrom
Institute, Earth, United Federation of Planets) - See all my reviews

Galactica 1980 is a must-have for the BSG TOS fan. Most of us couldn't
understand why they didn't include these 10 episodes in the original
box set in the first place. They could have considered it a bonus disc
if they were embarrassed. In any case, it is a delight to finally see
the entire original series be complete with this release.

BSG 1980 was indeed a disappointment for me when it first aired, but I
remained a fan and tried to overlook some of the silliness of things
like the BSG baseball team. Adama's change from leader of the fleet to
a mere servant of the all-knowing Dr. Zee bothered me also. But there
is some good SF here: eps. Galactica Discovers Earth (3 eps.), The
Night the Cylons Landed (2 eps.), and The Return of Starbuck are
highlights of the show for me.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that The Return of Starbuck episode
was great -- a leftover piece from the previous year. An audio
commentary from Dirk Benedict on that one would have been amazing.

Complaints department: Out of desperation, I already have this series
taped from TV and transferred over to DVD. I would gladly buy this
very attractive-looking 2-disc set for my collection, but I need
something to grab me, any reasonable excuse will suffice. I'd even
take some episode trailers, attractive subtitle text, or a couple of
deleted scenes if they weren't going to give us commentaries or a
featurette. Hopefully, a few more details about the release will
indicate at least a small extra of some kind.

Update 3-Oct-07:
Disappointing news from [link censored] regarding bonus features:
"Coming as a 2-disc DVD the release features the original fullframe
presentation of the show with its original mono audio track. No extras
will be included on the release, sadly when it hits retail stores on
December 26 for $[price censored]." Help other customers find the most

Worth the one episode...and those silly bikes!, March 8, 2008
By A. Kazimierczak (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

Ever since I bought the Battlestar Galactica complete series I'd been
thinking, "What happened to that episode with Starbuck stranded on a
planet?? And what about those flying motorcycles on Earth??" I'd
almost convinced myself that I'd imagined them, since I did own the
"complete series." Well, here they are. I was 6 years old when this
series came around and it didn't enjoy the reruns of the original
Battlestar Galactica, so my memories of Troy and Dillon (the new
Starbuck and Apollo) were sparse at best (it's like when Dukes of
Hazzard had those other cousins show up or Airwolf had a whole new
cast suddenly show up....crazy 80's TV clones).

Overall the episodes are pure low budget 80's sci-fi trash-- vaguely
reminiscent of Star Trek IV in its disturbing blend of heavy handed
environmentalism (the "Super Scouts" episodes) and high school theater
quality time travel (the pilot episodes with a generic Nazi Germany
romp).

It's worth the Starbuck episode though-- he's the best! Help other

despite arm chair critics and sci fi geeks, buy this DVD, November
12, 2007
By irishjdf (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Despite the arm chair critics and sci fi geeks (i include myself in
the latter)Galactica 1980 was not a bad series. It had a poor budget
and a network that seemed to hate the series before, during and after
it's run. It was 1980 after all. It might look strange as we look back
on it now, but the massive starship Galactica and its crew found a
planet earth that was just entering the 80's era. The music and the
clothes were reminiscent of what ppl were wearing and listening to in
the late 70's. With their new home earth not being technologically
advanced to fight a Cylon war, the Galactica and its crew struggled
with both ppl on earth and their own "brothers" who didn't agree with
the plan to move earth's technology forward.

All in all this series was not bad at all and was very entertaining,
considering what the creators had to work with. It is easy to look
back and criticize now, but the intensity of some ppl to trash talk
this series is ridiculous. Help other customers find the most helpful

It's about time!, October 9, 2007
By T. Roe (Burleson, Texas) - See all my reviews

Like it or not, It's part of the original series which isn't complete
without it. As with all series and sequels you can find fault in some
parts and love others. I prefer the original series to the new but I
still watch and collect both. I think the new series would have been
better if they had kept those cool uniforms of old BG. and not turned
them into Earthman suit and ties. They are supposed to be from a
different world not present day Earth. And bullets in space, what
happened to the laser guns? One addition I do like is the saying " So
say we all".
Love it or not BG 1980 is part of Galactica and I have pre-ordered my
copy.
The original is still the best! If you don't agree don't buy it.

Pretty OK, January 29, 2008
By Michael T. Gowing "SciFi Channel fan" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all
my reviews

This was good in places, but the discs don't include any extras. The
video quality was as good as to be expected for a late '70s early '80s
TV show. This is at least good enough to complete one's classic
Battlestar Galactica collection and continue one's overall Battlestar
Galactica collection. One advanage of these discs is that one can
select "play all" on the menu so that they can see all parts of these
multi-part episodes without having to go back and select the next
episode on the episode menu. Help other customers find the most
