Galactica 1980 festival on June 20, 7am-3pm central time.Turn your Tivos OFF for the day.

There's always the chance of a malfuntion, recording by accident as a suggestion or something, and it _cannot_ be risked.

Turn the Tivos back on when you get home from work and the danger is past.

LOL!

And yes, it was that bad!

What was the network thinking back in 1980 ? Anyone with a pair of eyes could see this was bad bad ......BAD.

I was in the service overseas in 1979-83 so luckly I missed this. Forced myself to watch 3 eps last month for the first time.................Galactica 1980 WAS BAD :p

You guys bring the chips the cheese is already on the way...

Shouldn't this be posted HERE (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=302203) ? :rolleyes:
Yes, I'll be recording and later watching it.

Any show where Cousin Oliver is a great leader, well.....

As has been frequently mentioned, the only decent episode was the Starbuck flashback which was more like an episode of the original series.

When I watched this show at age 10, I liked every episode BUT the Starbuck one. I thought it was boring.

I am anxious to see it again with an adult mind. :)

The Return of Starbuck was the only remotely watchable episode. Even that is a joke at times, though.

Should you decide to watch, pay special attention to the crashed Cylon fighter. It's really bad.

me too, but I can't find any adult mind to watch it with.

[PJO1966]

I haven't seen this since it originally aired. I thought it was awful then (I was 14). I can't wait to see how much worse it seems now!

Wolfman Jack!!!!

[cwerdna]

LOL! Festival? Err, I did watch every episode but will say it was pretty bad. I'm not going to bother rewatching any of them.

[jschuur]

If it weren't for the original, we wouldn't have the remake today.

[Bondelev]

If it weren't for the original, we wouldn't have the remake today.

1980 is NOT the original.

[Redux]

If it weren't for the original, we wouldn't have the remake today.You're fired.

Also, I'm reporting this post to the Pixel.

YOU ... are in real trouble, mister.

[jschuur]

Oops.

Technically, my statement wasn't wrong, your honor ;)

[atrac]

"The Night the Cylons Landed" might be one of the worst episodes of anything I have ever seen. The only redeeming factor in my opinion was William Daniels in Clown Makeup. He easily outclassed everything else within that episode.

[Dweller]

I have heard tales of BG 1980 and thought for sure I must have seen it since I was a fan of the original, but then I found this:

*spoilers galore*

omg....

[Church AV Guy]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy rates Galactica 1980 at the same level as Vogon Poetry, where people have killed themselves to avoid exposure to it. To this day, there are people who stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that it ever happened. We, living in reality, KNOW it happened, and it's a testament to studio executives and the way their brains allegedly work.

Needless to say, AVOID THIS SHOW!

[philw1776]

Great thread! Gawd, that show was awful. Made me a 2nd season latecomer to todays BSG series.

[DLL66]

I remembered I was 14 when this show came on. My brother was 9 and I do remember both telling my dad that this show sucked!! The Return of Starbuck was the only show worth watching in the series.

[nedthelab]

Don't encourage the waste of bandwidth by watching any of this, its not even on the radar of so bad its good or campy. Distant memory that shoud be wiped clean

[PJO1966]

Damn... I forgot to set my TiVo for this before I went out of town. Hopefully they'll run it again...

[hefe]

Phew! Looks like I dodged the bullet! :D

[rlc1]

This show really stains the memory of the original BSG. Must...purge....memories....

[atrac]

Finally watched "The Return of Starbuck." Indeed, a cool episode. My adult mind is pleased.
