Sci-Fi History: Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Battlestar Galactica was a sci-fi space opera set in a distant corner of the galaxy. The Cylons wiped out human civilization on the 12 colonies. The survivors left their homeworlds in search of the lost 13th colony, Earth. The show was pure seventies cheese incorporating themes that only Ancient Aliens fans could love. George Lucas actually considered suing because of the spaceship battles. The show lasted a year, but reappeared in 1980 as Galactica 1980. The second incarnation is considered the worst TV show of all time. In 2003, a reimaged version appeared and ran until 2009.
