Battlestar Galactica was originally a popular, but expensive and therefore short-lived, sci-fi show on ABC-TV during the 1978-79 season. The show was revamped on a smaller budget the following season as the generally disliked Galactica 1980. Years later campaigns to bring back the series centered around the proposals of Richard Hatch (Apollo), but the 2003 miniseries "reimagining" was an entire overhaul originating with Ronald D. Moore.
