Pretty Frakkin’ Bad is the answer…
I was looking through some of my old favorite TV shows on the Hulu website, they had some classic '80s shows from my childhood, Airwolf, A-Team, Classic Galactica, Buck Rogers, Miami Vice and others, I saw they also had Galactica '80, I had never seen it, but heard it was bad, but I figured “How bad could it be, really”
Dear OG I was wrong, G;80 was a horrible, horrible show, pathetic acting, recycled special effects, bad blue-screen and wire work, annoying “magical children”, it was just…bad, almost Manos bad
the Galactica people have the ability to super-jump, the two lead stars (Kent McCord and some other guy) have cloaking devices built into their watch-coms, leading to a lot of cheap, bad “invisibility” gags, the show was just bad, sloppy and, well, trust me, it’s BAD
the only episode I actually enjoyed was the finale “The Return of Starbuck”, which seeks to explain the distinct lack of Dirk Benedict’s character on G;80, this episode was clearly intended as a comedy, and they went over the top with it, in this episode…
Starbuck crash lands on a desolate desert planet after his Viper is critically damaged in a battle with a Raider, the Raider crashes as well, and Starbuck rebuilds one of it’s Centurion crew for companionship and “witty” banter
“TROS” was a so-bad-it’s-good ep, but the rest of the series, meh, not worth watching
if you go to the Hulu website and watch the show, out of curiosity, don’t say I didn’t warn you
