   Oh, I think I found out of the 6 episodes of Galactica 1980 >shudders at   
   the title< that I found I liked a good lot of the series.  Being specific...   
      
      
   1 	"Galactica Discovers Earth (aka Galactica: 1980), 3 parts.   
      
   	Ok, this was a alright introduction.  I liked how they had a grown up   
   Boxey, gave a solute to Apollo with the picture, showed the two daggits,   
   and how Dillon was kinda a Starbuck part two.   I did like Troy and Dillon.   
     	The romp back into the 40's was interesting.   I don't mind a World   
   War 2 story and mix in some BSG into the mix... campy but fun.   
      
      
      
   4 	"The Super Scouts, Part I" 	March 16, 1980 (1980-03-16) 	   
      
   	So on this one we get to see some older Boomer, some recycled but cool   
   photage of the education ship being attacked, and then we get to have   
   some great awkward moments as Troy and Dillon try to figure out Earth   
   currency, where they basically wind up robing a bank without meaning to.   
     Fun stuff.   
   	Oh and in this one there is this cool song the kids sing around the   
   campfire which is neat if you like the culture of the Galactica fleet.   
      
   5 	"The Super Scouts, Part II" 	March 23, 1980 (1980-03-23) 	   
      
   	Ummm forgot about this part where they uncover a illegal toxic waste   
   dumping conspiracy.   Oh well.  I think this is where I started to kinda   
   loose interest.   
      
   6 	"Spaceball" 	March 30, 1980 (1980-03-30) 	1.6   
      
   	Wow... light hearted episode.   My least favorite.   
      
   7 	"The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I   
   & II" 	April 13, 1980   
      
   	This was a good episode.   Lots of humor, but we not only get to see   
   Cylons again, but a human looking one.  Interesting.  And Dillon and   
   Troy have to stop these Cylons before they notified the rest of the   
   Cylons of the whereabouts of Earth.  Good stuff.   
      
   9 	"Space Croppers" 	April 27, 1980 (1980-04-27) 	1.9   
   "The Galactican children help a farmer in financial trouble."   
      
   	Have to be honest, when I was watching the show when I got the   
   Galactica 1980 set, I didn't see this one so can't honestly say what I   
   think of this one.   
      
      
   10 	"The Return of Starbuck" 	May 4, 1980 (1980-05-04) 	   
      
   	And here we have Robinson Crusoe on Mars starring the ever lovable   
   Starbuck.   This of course is like 90% of the reason to get the   
   Galactica 1980 set.   I'm glad that the last glimpse of the original   
   series is with this story.   (And not "Spaceball".)   :P
