The original Battlestar Galactica.

I was putting that one on my list and forgot. I was a huge fan of the original battlestar galactica - galactica 1980 not so. Return of Starbuck was a good Galactica 1980 episode (very wierd and sad for a fan of Starbuck).

I have a lot of fondly remembered sci-fi shows from the 70s, but for me it always comes back to BSG. For a kid looking to get his post-STAR WARS fix, BSG was just what the Dr. ordered. The music, the production values, the perfromances. It was just so far ahead of anything on TV at the time. But BSG: 1980 is just so... odd.

I'll also toss in BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY, LOGAN'S RUN & SPACE: 1999.

Does the Tomorrow People count, as it was shown on a week day?

[–] shaneyfex 12 years ago

The tomorrow people would count for sure. I saw some of the episodes off of Nickelodeon network in the USA - odd for them to show it but they only showed one season that wasn't as good as some of the highlights of other seasons. still that show was great in the 70's!!!!!

It's worth getting the box set if your keen. It's my all time favourite show as a kid, and yes I used to rush home from school to watch it. I had a huge crush on Stephen.

Land Of The Giants (1969-70)
Shazam! (1974)
The Return Of Captain Nemo (1978)

I know Shazam! is fantasy rather than sci-fi, but it is close enough to sci-fi I guess.
