Galactica 1980/Trivia


 * Blatant Lies: Universal billed their 2007 2-disc DVD release of Galactica 1980 as "The Original Battlestar Galactica's Final Season".
 * Executive Meddling: Part of the reason why the show was such a disaster. It was originally supposed to be based around Time Travel stories, as seen in the three-part pilot. The network, on the other hand, thought that science fiction should appeal primarily to kids, and so forced the producers drop the time travel aspect, have children making up over half the main cast (resulting in the Super Scouts), and give the series a primarily educational focus. The requirement for an educational focus was partially due to the decision to air the show in a time slot that basically required it. Now, if they hadn't decided it was a kids' show, things might have been different...
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Robbie Rist as Doctor Zee.
 * Sherlock Holmes as Commander Xavier (well, one of them)
 * The Other Darrin: Two cases in ten episodes!
 * Jeremy Brett and Richard Lynch as Commander Xavier.
 * Robbie Rist and James Patrick Stuart as Doctor Zee.
 * Syndication Title: Was packaged together with Battlestar Galactica under the previous show's name.
 * What Could Have Been: The Richard Hatch or the Bryan Singer sequel series.
