Galactica 1980 is the rushed, pointless follow up to Battlestar Galactica. Almost the entire thing takes place on Earth, decades after the end of the original. It is poorly written with a threadbare budget and none of the feeling of the original, itself inferior to its remake.
The whole production feels rushed and cheap. I was impressed how the effects of the original held up-not so with 1980.
Add in kids and the all knowing "Doctor Zee," who makes Adama constantly look like a moron, plus lots of cheap laser effects and invisible pilots/planes, and this show is consigned to the ashbin of TV history.
It even has a crummy disco-ized BSG soundtrack.
Not worth watching. Most don't even consider it cannon to BSG.
