Every Battlestar Galactica Series And Movies Ranked Worst To Best

14. Galactica 1980

In the titular year of 1980, there was an attempt to revive the popularity of 1978's Battlestar Galactica and it did not, to be blunt, go well. After spending the original show attempting to find Earth (but not really concluding all that well), the premise of Galactica 1980 is that the ship and it's intrepid crew did find Earth... well, they did.

Unfortunately for them, Earth was not in any way prepared to help them defend against the Cylons because the year was (you guessed it) 1980. Since almost all of the original cast passed on coming back, with only the venerable and committed Lorne Greene reprising his role (working for free), the show flopped quickly and was cancelled after 10 episodes.

It's only real footnote is that it featured a reasonable amount of time-travel and it inspired one of the producers from the original show, Donald P. Bellisario, in his next endeavour, an iconic little show called 'Quantum Leap'.
