There's nothing wrong with a kids show, but Galactica doesn't fit in the realm of a saturday-morning children's program, as 1980 appears to be. There aren't as many cool special effects, stock footage from the original series is annoyingly used here and there are plot holes (for example, Troy and Dillan visit Earth in the two-parter first episode. This is a good idea, but why didn't they incorporate this into the first episode.). This show could be for kids, and that's why it doesn't work. I'll admit that I haven't seen all the episodes, but from what I saw the series just doesn't work. The rest.not so much. Trust me, you don't need to add this one to your sci-fi collection. The only real good parts are the comedy scenes when the "Galacticans" get confused with Earth technology and culture.

You're not missing much. Compared to the original Galactica, 1980 is bland, unepic, and too goofy. The first episodes of the series, involving the main characters traveling back in time to World War II is pretty cool. One summer I saw that they were having a marathon of sorts of "Galactica 1980" on TV, so I taped a few episodes and watched them. Some time later they tell the children of the fleet that because they were raised on ships, the atmosphere and gravity will be different for them on Earth and thus they will posess the power to jump really high and whatnot.

Besides the constant reuse of the same cut scenes over and over for special effect, and the seemingly every shortening cast & changeout throughout, the storyline itself is also poor. If you are a BSG fan, get this out of your system and wait for the upcoming season on SCI-FI. Galactica 1980 is terrible. Conceptually, this series had the potential to be successful, but based on the actual execution of the plot, this is by far the most excruciating 10 hours of film you could subject yourself to.

Even if you're a fan of the original BSG or the 2004 remake. Please avoid this series. ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of the original BSG or the 2004 remake.

This series had no plot, few effects, and bad acting. All in all a show for losers. the 1978 series had tons of effects and no plot. The new show is nothing but porn, but so many worship it like it was a new relgion or something.
