Canceled Too Soon #50 - Battlestar Galactica (1978-1979)


Listen Later

Few sci-fi television shows were more ambitious than BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, a sci-fi space epic from MANIMAL creator Glen A. Larson, whose expensive saga about evil robots chasing noble humans throughout the galaxy came out right on the heels of the game-changing blockbuster STAR WARS. Some people loved it, some people (like the creators of STAR WARS) didn't, but BATTLESTAR GALACTICA left a lasting impression on the genre that overshadowed its single, solitary season of television.

But was BATTLESTAR GALACTICA... canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are joined by Scott Mantz from ACCESS HOLLYWOOD to guide you through every episode of the cult classic series and explain what worked, what failed, what worked better in the critically acclaimed 21st century reboot, and how much they HATE the show's kid sidekick Boxey.

And don't miss next week's exciting conclusion to this two-part episode, when they review the equally ill-fated BATTLESTAR GALACTICA spin-off: GALACTICA 1980!
