Space: 1999 was wretched; Gerry and Sylvia Anderson somehow managed to do another puppet show with live actors. (A shame, after their far superior UFO.) Computers printing out results on adding machine tape--did Moonbase Alpha ever run out of the stuff, I wonder? Aliens who referred to Moonbase Alpha ships using the same names they used on Moonbase Alpha....and the frantic attempt to fix the show in the second season with new characters and the man thought by many to have wrecked ST:TOS.

Not to say that Battlestar Galactica was in any way worthwhile, save as a source for a great line in the Mad magazine parody: when berated for not having destroyed Battlestar Galactica, a Cylon replied with words to the effect of "If you had just one eye that goes back and forth all the time, how good a shot would you be?!"

Sheesh, how old are you??? I was freakin' 8 or 9 then and it and UFO were the best thing painting a phosphorescent screen AFAIC.

I remember the Cyclons being referred to as walking pinball machines.

My favorite line in the series was when a Cylon was explaining how his ship had crash landed..."We were reading the manual when the ground came up and hit us..." You see, a cylon could never do wrong, any mistakes were someone else's fault...hey, that sounds like liberal thinking...hmmm...
