''Battlestar Galactica'' first premiered on ABC as a three-hour pilot movie, September 17, 1978, with a total of 24 episodes.  Heading the cast was veteran actor Lorne Greene as Adama, Richard Hatch as Apollo, and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck.  Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, he envisioned the series as having "...a biblical feel. It ties in with Genesis, it ties in with the western pioneers. That's why we can do people stories even though we're in space. It's not a hardware show, although the special effects are magnificient [sic]" (Jerry Buck, The San Diego Union TV Week, September 17–28, 1978.).<ref>http://www.battlestargalactica.com/overview.htm</ref>

Glen Larsen attempted a revival in 1980 with this short-lived spin-off series, which premiered on January 27 of that year.  Set some thirty years in the future, ''Galactica'' has found Earth, but discovers that it is less-advanced than thought, with no defense against the Cylons.  Of the original cast, only Lorne Greene and Herbert Jefferson, Jr. reprised their roles, with Kent McCord (Troy) also providing continuity by giving an explanation early in the first episode that he was the adopted son of Apollo, Boxey.  The series lasted ten episodes, the final one broadcast May 4, 1980. It has since been added to the 1978 ''Battlestar Galactica'' syndication package offered by NBCUniversal Television Distribution.
