Galactica 1980-December 26th

A week and a half ago we broke the news - well, rumors at the time - that Universal would be bringing out a DVD release of Galactica 1980, the original spin-off of the original show starring Lorne Greene. This morning the studio has formally announced that, for a Boxing Day treat on December 26th! Here is the studio description:

Galactica 1980 lands on DVD for the first time ever! With all ten thrilling episodes on two discs, see what happens when the original Battlestar Galactica crew finally makes the long-anticipated descent to Earth. With time running out and the Cylons closing in on their trail, Commander Adama and the Galactica must work harder than ever before to help Earth create the technology necessary for battle. Along for the action-packed fight are such stellar guest stars as Dirk Benedict, Brion James, Dennis Haysbert and more! It's an epic adventure unlike any other, and an absolute must-have for any Battlestar Galactica collection!

The 2-DVD set clocks in at around 8 hours, and rings up for an affordable $29.98 SRP. Video will be the original full-frame, and audio the original English Mono. There will be English subtitles as well. Stay tuned for box art; we'll bring you that just as soon as we can!

I know it's supposed to be terrible, but the price is right, even for a train-wreck.

I think I speak for all Battlestar fans when I say.....RELEASE SEASON 3 FOR CHRIST SAKE!

Aside from the great final episode, "The Return of Starbuck", this series sucks eggs. :)

But hell, I'll probably still buy it for nostalgia sake (and the Dirk Benedict episode).

Ditto. I'm not spending $30... but if I can find it in the $15 range, I'll pick it up. Train wreck doesn't even begin to describe this spin-off show, but the Return of Starbuck episode is fun.

Yeah, not exactly the first word that comes to my mind. :lol:

I dunno. I was on the edge of my seat during the softball-game episode. And my pulse was definitely pounding when the cylons went trick-or-treating.

Dear Lord this show was bad. :lol:

It's available as a Watch Now option on Netflix, by the way... if anyone's feeling brave.

Haha... I like the idea of the show, but have never seen it. I enjoyed the original series - yet have never seen the remake series. I'll have to pick this up for curiosity sakes if I can find it around $20...

I'm pretty sure that in 1980, Dennis Haysbert was NOT a special guest star, nor was he when he was a lowly scollywag in Buck Rodgers.

YES YES YES!!!! My "Horrible Shows I Grew Up With" Collection will finally be complete!!!!

EDIT: TVShowsonDVD just put up the cover:
