This is the Battlestar I grew up with! Complete with talking Cylons! I haven’t been much of a fan of the “reimagined” series of 2004, because there’s nothing like the synthesizer voices of the original Cylons! “By your command.” Many of the episodes are two-parters because the original series was actually planned to be made-for-TV-movies. That gives the story more time to develop, and it usually makes the second part more compelling. Now before you start talking about the cheesy special effects, it’s important to know that many of the SFX guys who worked on BSG had just recently completed an independent film called “Star Wars”. Maybe you’ve heard of it? So for 1978, these effects were cutting edge. So much so, the Lucas sued them! Unfortunately, this was the most expensive series on TV at the time, and it’s greatness only last for one season. But its still worth a weekend binge! Read full review

I grew up watching this show in the late 70's stuck with me for years and way ahead of it's time, the story and themes were classic and heroes were heroes and villains were villains unlike the Ron Moore versions of 2003-04 where the characters had flaws and had no morals, Universal should make a "Special Edition" in the memory of the late and great Richard Hatch whom passed away this year since he was the one who was the champion of the revival efforts to bring this classic back..., a fitting tribute to the man who made his character [Captain Apollo] believable if Universal is reading this PLEASE DO A SPECIAL EDITION hire some digital experts to update footages, ad special effects when needed the whole nine yards and an extra added bonus include Mr. Hatch's BSG trailer on one of the Dvds as stated above should serve as a tribute...., all in all I enjoyed the Dvds.

Unlike the garbage on the Alphabet TV Channels nowadays this is an excellent series without the trash on TV today. Today's Cable is garbage compared to the wholesome stuff we had in earlier programming from earlier years. Buy it , you will love it. It was shipped very fast!

For 1978 this was about as good as it could get. Yes, the flaws of the show are apparent and everyone knows about them- but amazingly it really doesn't look dated and it STILL is a joy to watch! When I get the budget together mark my words. I will bring it back the right way- and not the stinky Sci-fi(sy-fy?) way. It is going to rock!

As a kid, I really loved Battlestar Galactica, both the movie and the TV series. The complete TV series also includes the original movie as the first episode of the series. It is a must have for any series fan of Sci-fi and I never understood why the series was cancelled after only one season.
