Galactica 1980/YMMV
- Canon Discontinuity: At least within the context of the 2004 reboot, obviously.
- Contested Sequel: At least some fans liked it.
- Creator's Pet: Dr. Zee.
- Fanon Discontinuity: With the exception of the episode "The Return of Starbuck", this series is not what fans wanted.
- Idiot Plot: "Spaceball". Enough said.
- Replacement Scrappy: Granted, Dr. Zee wasn't that popular to begin with, but fans generally tend to agree that Robbie Rist's emotionless Creepy Child incarnation of the character was much better (or at least more interesting) than James Patrick Stuart's version, who was a typically precocious boy genius.
- So Bad It's Horrible: See the long entry about it on So Bad It's Horrible/Live-Action TV.
- Tastes Like Diabetes: Almost every episode.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The Cylons return after 30 years and attack the fleet's school ship. You'd think that this would set up an episode where the Galactica mobilizes the Earth to fight their old enemies, but instead we're treated to a Green Aesop and the antics of a bunch of kids. Hoo boy.
- What the Hell, Costuming Department?: The Colonials' idea of kids clothing? Medieval peasant-wear.
