This video contains two links to Quantum Leap. Galactica 1980 was originally planned to be like QL, with one of the Galactica crew going back in time to stop Baltazar from changing history, while the other communicated with him from the future. That concept later became Quantum Leap. Voyagers had a similar premise.

[@greatgrandpa4651]

Buck Rogers was one of the best shows of the 80's. It went downhill when they left Earth to "explore". V the mini series was great. V the series sucked the big one. Hard Time on Planet Earth was an interesting show. Max Headroom was so cool but they just didn't know what to do with it. The 'New' Twilight Zone was just a watered down version of the superior 60's TV show.

I remember Darkroom which was a Twilight Zone show, James Coburn was in fine form as the host. One episode has a man found a radio that was linked to the past of WW II. The consequences of his altering history were fun, maybe I was not used to these twist endings.

[@gspendlove]

Yup, I remember that show. Wasn't there an episode about someone getting attacked by tiny toy soldiers? That was an idea they stole from Stephen King's short story collection Night Shift. They did an adaptation of that story, "Battleground," for the miniseries "Nightmares and Dreamscapes."

[@travisjohnson6676]

The Greatest American Hero is by far my favorite Sci-Fi TV show.

[@protorhinocerator142]

I always thought I'd be able to master flying by now if I was him. How hard could it be? And of course you got that FBI guy. So go out in the desert somewhere and practice flying at night. Nobody had cell phones back then to take your picture. Wear a black cat burglar suit over the super suit. Fly around. Maybe put some markers on the ground to get your bearings, things to fly past. Maybe add a couple of old junker cars and see how close you can come to flying into them without flying into them. If you make an oppsie, it was an old car so who cares? This is all basic stuff. Lear to fly, goofball.

One add: War of the Worlds - the series. 2 seasons. Wasn't horrible but wasn't great either. Both seasons very different- the 2nd one a bit darker and sillier. I don't think V needed a reboot- the original was hilarious.

[@PuppetDungeon]

1st season was a great horror show, and had some amazing tv gore. 2nd season was more dystopian scifi based, but had a great look and tone. Both are on DVD for real cheap, and worth picking up.

[@johnellizz]

"Galactica 1980" was a riot! Replacing Starbuck and Apollo with two lifelike mannequins and reducing the show's budget and writing to cheesy 'cop show' level was a super-genius idea! My favorite scene in the series was when they were at a party on Earth and accidently somebody deactivates a Ceylon by using the microwave oven! WTF! You mean that the 13 Colonies could have avoided genocidal eradication JUST BY popping in a Swanson's Pork Riblets TV dinner with green bean and apple pie side dishes? IF ONLY THEY HAD KNOWN! But the most egregious example of a drop-off in quality has to be "V: The Series". This was a truly excellent pair of mini-series' that got disfigured into a ultra-cheesy self-parody that focused on the 'Diana' character acting like a "Dynasty" vixen. Pure retardsville.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Sometimes such DVD sets are available for a short time and then seem to disappear. At one point, there was a DVD set of the cop show Lady Blue available. Unfortunately by the time I became aware of it, the link was dead and I never saw it anywhere else. Someone did eventually upload a copy. I'm not sure if they were taken from those DVDs or some other set, but the quality isn't the greatest and the episodes were recorded off a cable channel. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have a copy of it at all, I just wish the quality was better. Actually, I wish the networks would release more of these older, one-season shows on DVD, or even DVD on demand, where they apparently make the DVDs as people order them. I imagine music copyrights get in the way a lot of the time. Reportedly the show Werewolf was going to be released on DVD, but they couldn't clear the rights to two songs and the studio no longer had a separate audio track for just the dialog, so the whole release was scrapped. Personally, I wished they'd just muted those scenes and provided subtitles. Pirates would have spliced in the audio from the TV copies.

The only reason Battlestar Galaxtica failed wasn’t. the show. It was the network. TV networks had a hard time keeping eco-if on the air in the 60s and 70s because sci-if cost twice the money of conventional programming.

I never saw V but good gods the cast is amazing...... I vaguely remember Otherworld and Max Headroom man......that was a cool show

OTHERWORLD, V THE FINAL BATTLE, BSG , GREATEST AMERICAN HERO were the very best Sci-Fi shows during the 80's . why they chose to have BUCK ROGERS no longer fighting Space Pirates & having adventures on different planets, but have him as an explorer traveling to different planets is beyond me. even GALACTICA 1980 was a very bad idea. The fun & excitement while they we're in deep space disappeared when they arrived on EARTH. Although I appreciate the attempt to show them trying to adjust to life on EARTH after traveling so long in deep space.
