But there were female Viper pilots -- Jane Seymour played one.
Not Jane Seymour, Anne Lockhart. Seymour was Boxey's mother, and she died in the first ep. Lockhart (June's daughter) was added mid-season, and wasn't really anyone's love interest. Well, maybe Apollo's, but she was there mostly to shoot things.
I remember the series premiere -- 1978, I think. I had taken my bath early so I could stay up and watch it, AND THE POWER WENT OUT. One of our neighbors had a tiny battery powered TV, so the ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD was crowded into their living room in the dark, around a 2 inch screen, watching this show. I remember that my dad carried me to the Robinsons' house cause I was wearing my footie pajamas. they were yellow.
The other thing that happened during the premiere was they announced the signing of the Camp David Accords, and ABC cut away from the show for hours (it seemed) to show us Carter, Begin, and Sadat all hugging and kissing and speechifying.
Didn't the original series explain the women viper pilots with, "we've got a manpower shortage"? I disremember anything besides Wicket, Boxey and Dirk Benedict's hair.

Also there was a woman name d Casseopeia, but I can't remember if seh was a pilot too, or just there for the pretty.
For the pretty. She was a reformed hooker turned nurse, IIRC.

I think that's what I'm mangling. I do remember him dating his wingperson.
It's all coming back to me. Casseopeia had been some kind of licensed sex professional and Starbuck had a crush on her.
I actually liked the later episodes of BG. (We will not speak of the horrifying short-lived sequel series.) There were some episodes in which they were dealing with the problems of having thrown all these people willy-nilly onto a variety of ships that were pretty interesting.

beth, using that option, the times are in five minute increments. So do it starting the recording at 9:05 or whatever time. Confirm your selection. Then, to get it so that it is only a minute late, do the following.
Go into "Pick Programs to Record", then go into "To Do List". Select the show you've just manually set up to record. After you press select, you'll be brought to a screen, and your cursor will rest on the "Record as planned" button. Tab over one space to the right, so that you're on the "options" button. Select it. You'll see a menu and one of the options is "Start Recording:" To the right of it, you'll note that the default is "on time" but if you tab over to the right, you'll see you can choose 1, 2, 3, or 4 minutes early.
That should get you to the point where it will start at 9:01 rather than 9:05.
When you're setting up the manual recording in the first place, you can set it up to be a repeating thing, so you don't have to go through this every week.
I used to watch it and I do not remember any of this stuff. I only remember hgaving a cruch on Richard Hatch.

I had one, too. Then I saw him a couple of years ago at a convention. It wasn't so much he had skin that you could make shoes out of. It was the gum-chewing. He apparently wasn't taught you do it with your mouth closed. (white-texted so people who wish to cherish their memories don't get them clouded without choosing to)
