Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction television series created by Glen A. Larson that began the Battlestar Galactica franchise.
It was very expensive, very short-lived and embroiled in lawsuits and controversy the whole way.
And then they tried again with Galactica 1980. And it also went badly.

I always wondered why Battlestar Galactica only lasted the one season when it seemed to be something that was generally well remembered and popular at the time. That show had way too much working against it.
I got to experience the Universal Studios Battle of Galactica part of the studio tour back in ’84! I was amazed that they somehow pulled off the laser-shooting effect in real life during the big live-action fight scene between Apollo and the Cylons. I even have some horribly-blurry photos I took of the whole thing somewhere in the garage…
Parent: “my son only had X to give him joy.”
Media: “committed suicide because of X.”
L O G I C.
We Need a video that combines “but it gets worse” and “but is it Cannon?”
I never knew all this drama surrounded Battlestar Galactica, and “George (always suing) Lucas” never fails. As an artist myself, I never knew Frank Frazetta turned down promotional Star Wars work. But I don’t blame him for not wanting to sign over his rights to Lucas. Also the kid who committed suicide reminded me of the controversy that surrounded Dungeons and Dragons. The reason why my christian mother wouldn’t let me to play with the game.
I had a friend as a kid that had the Colonial Viper toy. When he heard about the kid choking on the missile after firing it into his mouth, my idiot friend promptly fired the missile into his mouth and started choking on it. If it weren’t for the fact that Batman taught me the Heimlich maneuver on a Superfirends PSA, he’d be a dead idiot friend.
If you watched Battlestar Galactica as a kid back in the late seventies…. you’re one of us.
Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rodgers both satisfied my sci-fi taste buds in between Star Wars movies. I think it is still that way at least on a Sunday evening. I definitely wish the toys for Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers would get a proper reissue.
The “Are we related?” gag was hilarious. Hat’s off to you, sir.
This channel has come so far.
I love this series.
Cheers guys!
My favorite episode is “The Living Legend.” Where the Galactica runs into the Battlestar Pegasus with Lloyd Bridges as Commander Kane.
There was, in the distant past, a magical time when mom said I could stay up late to watch 2 shows back to back!! BJ and the Bear followed by battlestar galactica. Unbelievable they were on the same night. This also included chips and coke and a wide eyed me oblivious to anything but the tv.
I had a friend growing up who had the Battlestar Galactica comforter and sheets and pillowcase it was cool
Another great transmission from the BATTLESTAR TOY GALAXY
I always got a kick out of the Cylon walking past Face Man in the A-Team intro, and Face’s reaction.
Don’t feel bad about not being related to the creator of this show, I’m not related to the German rocket scientist or the company that makes electric shavers and toothbrushes either.
Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers in the 25th century were my Sci fi fix as a kid in between the Star Wars movies.
When i was a kid, i loved this show. Then Galactica 1980 came along and i thought, “what is this sh*t?” It was the second time i felt betrayed by tv. The first? Star Wars Holiday Special
So I’ve come to the conclusion that for Battlestar and Buck Rogers, the popularity of the TV show was tied heavily to the popularity of disco.
I remember that Simpsons episode when they went to a Star Wars convention and they had the wrestling match between the powerful robots of Battleship Galactic vs. the wimpy robots from Star Wars.
