I remember that I watched it with my dad, and certain names are familiar, but I remember absolutely nothing else about it. Which is weird as I remember other tv & movies from that age.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Galactica 80!
Flying invisible motorcycles! What's not to love?
Oh, and then there was time travel back to Nazi Germany in an attempt to jump-start the technology of Earth so we'd be better able to defend ourselves against the Cylons.

Galactica 1980 is one of the first shows I remember that was so bad that a black cloud formed over the television when it was on. Breakers switched off. Blenders tried to kill themselves by throwing themselves off the counter. Dogs howled.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Galactica 80!
I remember in high school there was one kid who claimed that Galactica actually reached Earth. Nobody else believed him.

Oh yeah, in Junior High, the marching band played the theme to BG during the homecoming parade.
I still remember parts of the French Horn part....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sci-Fi will be airing Galactica 1980 sometime in the next week or so. I've Tivo'd it, just for the camp factor.

Holy carp. I was just out delivering some files, and the piles of snow are steaming out there. Like dry ice.

BG was my favorite series at the time, but I missed big chunks of it because it conflicted with chores. Usually I'd end up seeing about half an episode. (This was many years before my parents' bought a VCR.)
