The old show had a great slew of guest actors like Lew Ayres, Ray Milland, Wilfred Hyde-White, Fred Astaire, to name a few. When they were on screen they gave the show some real class. Yeah the old Galactica was sort of cheesy. I don't think most fans are proclaiming it to be high art. But it was a fun show and I don't need a dark, cynical, "adult" version bearing its moniker. It's BGINO as far as I can tell.
BTW, I liked the boy and his robot dog. The actor who played him was great in The Neverending Story, to speak of another movie/show that keeps getting sequels and remakes that never outdo the original.

Don't forget Lloyd Bridges and the Battlestar Pegasus episodes, which were some of BG's best.
