Is this on the DVD?

Honestly, I hope not.

Being a hardcore BG fan, I would most likely purchase it if it came out on DVD. However, I also recall "Galactica 1980 when it originally aired... and it was bad. I prefer to remember Battlestar Galactica's epic tale as poetically ending with the pickup of a "Gamma Transmission", which is clearly identifiable as the voice of Neil Armstrong, with the message: "Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

The pickup of the story with Galactica 1980 was just depressing. It could have been good... but it wasn't. If you've never seen it... you're not missing much. Don't spoil the image... stick to the original series.

There were actually two VHS [out of print] tapes, available in the market of the short-lived, revival [spin-off] series:

"Battlestar Galactica: The Return of Starbuck," &
"Conquest of the Earth" [aka. "Galactica Discovers the Earth Part 1 mixed in with scenes from "The Night the Cylons Landed, Parts 1 & 2.")

If you really are dying to see this series, it airs ocassionally on the
"Sci-Fi" channel. Sometimes on a 5 days, 2-hrs marathon.

If you go to "Scifi.com" and search for "Galactica 1980," it will show you when the next airing of this DREADFUL series will take place. Here's the LINK [http://scifi.com/battlestar/1980/].

Galactica 1980 :- where they found earth was released on dvd but it wasn't very popular. copies are out there but it's rare.

this will be available on dvd in december 2005, the returnn of starbuck wasn't all that bad an episode.
the Dvd will have a three aditional episodes on it, the Return Of Apollo, The Return Of Adama and the magnificent episode "The Retun Of Athena" it will also contain audio commentary by Adama (Lorne Greene) recorded shorty after his death.
Also read Starbucks 2006 novel The Cylons Are Cumming The Cylons are Cumming, which is a hilarious account of his time on the show and overcoming aids which were given to him by the producers.
Also Of interest the original first choice of the Apollo Character was ...................... you guessed it Rixon Nikon former president of Canada.

My dad bought the bootleged DVD's simply to have Batllestar 80 with the original series. I will watch it someday simply because it exsists and then make my own judgement, the reason it was so *beep* tho was because they were given no budget and as far as I know it was also aired at a crap time so it got lesser viewers than the orignal series. (Then again that could be because it's crap :P)
