I had the privilage of being a security officer on stage 29, The set of the 1978 series of Battlestar Galactica, It was, to me a combination of delight and bordom, because I was locked in each night in the set for 12hours, for as long as you were assigned for that set watch, But the fun was walking down the corridors, sitting on the chairs in the Viper Pilot's Quarters, Also the really high imperious leader's pylon throne was in there too and of course the Galactica's Bridge.

It seemed each episode of Battlestar Galactica had a lesson to be learned from it. As in "The Lost Warrior", Apollo tells Puppis that no matter how scared you are, you always have to do what's right. And in the episode "War of the Gods", Count Iblis was charming, good-looking, and able to grant any wish you had. But he was really the Devil. When he killed Captain Apollo, I almost went through the ceiling! Each time Count Iblis was hit with a laser beam, he briefly turned into his real persona, the Devil, before he returned to his usual appearance. That scene still gives me the chills, even today.

Galactica was the first movie I watched with Dolby Surround Sound in a Berlin cinema. I will never forget this experience! Still love the movie.

RIP the unforgettable Lorne Greene.

The very first TV show I remember watching as a kid 🥰🥰🥰

Great series and music !

Loved the series back in the 70’s and loved visiting Universal Studios Hollywood & riding the Tram as it went into a LAZER shoot out scene straight out of the show!!!!

So much nostalgy this series. Its one of my first remember tv-series and i remember i love that series.

Best Battlestar Galactica. I loved this version.. from the music to the actors an story line...

I love listening to this full version and then STTNG original theme

Young lad when this arrived on our tv. never turned back always watched and to this day I still watch. loved my youth. Fantastic shows like this that will live forever. :)

HA! I was just saying that my favourite American shows from back then was Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rodgers in the 25th century!

only the 1st season of Buck Rogers. I did not care for the second season with the searcher. I also liked the replacement Nancy Drew after Pam Martin left. The actress also played Lieutenant Brie on Battelstar.

One of my favorite shows when I was growing up. My elementary school art teacher made a cardboard model of the Galactica ship it was like 4 feet long and hung it from the ceiling, it was the coolest thing.

Bro what are you doing . But in all seriousness I understand why you might not want to watch it but the 2000 bsg series is by far one of the best sci-fi shows EVER MADE . I know the comment is like 3 years old but if you have not watched it I’ll recommend you to give it a try

I never considered it a reboot. Just some other timeline sci-fi show. It was enjoyable at the time, but it wasn’t BSG. I have never rewatched it. The original? Many times. ❤❤❤

There is one thing the reboot got right: it's dark. The story has to be dark. We're talking about the annihilation of human civilization down to just 50,000 people left running for their lives. The original show has a hard time gaining new fans because it's too upbeat for the setting and stretches believability past the breaking point. The reboot is still massively acclaimed across the board, even if the ending (which I hated) was controversial.

I was 10yrs old when this came out. It was must see TV. I still enjoy watching it today. 😊

best series of all time

the show sucked so bad, it only lasted one season because nobody watched it. most people said it was a bad ripoff copy of Star Wars

I was 11 and half in 1978 when Battlestar Galactica came out. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century in 1979 was ok. But yet it sucks that Athena, captain Apollo, Jolly, lieutenant Starbuck, and Sheba wasn't around in Galactica 1980 when they finally reached earth.

Without sappy dramas needed for a successful modern TV series, Battlestar Galactica would be worthy of an adventure. And its classic aesthetics and its direct plot would be true fun for the whole family.

I was in Dallas in a convention back in 1990 and they played this theme with fireworks all over the place in several screens and made it look spectacular, it was! Impressed us all and the inspiration was Great!

Loved this show when I was a kid. I remember being bored in school and would draw the ships and draw a battle scene.

Loved those boosters firing out the rear. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank You Stu Phillips!

When Dirk Benedict joined the A-Team as Face, there was a reference to Battlestar Galactica in the intro when he passes a Cylon in an amusement park. That allways made me laugh.
