| | 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 [[Universal Studios|NBCUniversal Syndication Studios]]. | | Glen Larsen attempted a revival in 1980 with this short-lived spin-off series, which premiered on January 27 of that year.
