When I'm trying to take a nap I'll put on Pluto with something like Red Dwarf
that reminds me of better times. Or Miami Vice, which really deserves a way better reputation that it got. It's much better than the typical cop show crap of the era and much much better than our era. I notice the same thing with Hawaii Five-O (at least the early seasons.) I guess the big name Chicago critics of the era didn't like shows that were set in interesting places.

Battlestar Galactica is watered down Space: Above and Beyond for a younger audience. Yeah, I went there.
Seriouspost tho I love both shows but the former is obviously a dumber remake of the latter. To the point where they just directly redo a very specific episode, like the one about the alien Red Baron.

It's almost completely forgotten today but was really good. Fortunately I was around to see it. Very good show. It's the guys who were responsible for the best parts of The X-Files doing a show about WW2/Vietnam but in a sci-fi setting.

That's an r-slured take and you know it. How can this be a remake of a show in the 90s?
We can talk about it being a remake of Raumpatrouille Orion/ST:TOS.

When I was 9 my teacher said I would like the old Battlestar Galactica. I'm still not sure if she meant that as an insult.
How in the heck have I never heard of this yet??? I've lived ate and breathed Star Trek for literally as long as I can remember. I had no idea there was a bosche version of it. Definitely going to watch this, if for no other reason just to see how it compares. Especially interesting because it was made at almost exactly the same time, so they couldn't have known about Star Trek but would have been
ripping offinspired by the same things.!francais Even in the year 3000 America will still be on your side against the Huns.

Probably cause it's German/French only? And it's not super well known here either in the under 60 generation. I know about it, cause my parents once bought the VHS tapes of it and me and my sister then watched it as teenagers.
Overall it's different to ST in that ST had more single episodes, while RO always focuses on the frogs (but hey it's only a single season). They also made a supercut where they cut the series into a movie. I would not recommend that though, too much info is missing tbh and iirc one overarching plot element massively suffers from that.

I only like the first season of Battlestar Galactica
The problems started in the second season and got worse from there.

Yes, it's like the X-Files (and I've heard Lost was like this) and American tv shows in general. When they begin they have no idea what the end of the story is going to be, so they just keep trying to come up with excuses to make the story continue. I was so pissed off by this (IIRC Battlestar Galactica was the #1 reason) that I watched k- and j-dramas for a decade. In Asia (at least in that time) every show they already had an idea for the ending before they started shooting. There's no chance for a second season or movie or anything so everything gets resolved. And that lets them do some really crazy stuff for the endings, like they die but God reincarnates them in the bodies of children to give them another chance.

The worst mystery box writing of BSG reboot was when they made a TV movie called " The Plan" and then revealed that the plan that was in every single opener of the show didn't exist. Just not mentioning it worked better than that.

Imagine me screaming and yelling and pointing at a box called "THIS" and repeatedly bashing my head into it
Ronald Moore had done all the Klingon stuff on TNG and DS9. He wanted to escape from the cliches of that. Well one of those cliches was KNOWING HOW TO END YOUR FRICKING STORY. Lately I keep bringing up Witch Yoo Hee but let's be honest it worked. It's that episode of Seinfeld where there's the car accident and the judge sentences somebody to be a butler. Goes absolutely off the rails toward the end (I gotta watch this again from a dramanaut perspective). But it's fun and actually has a goddarn ending.
Which is apparently like poison to the people who make American and Korean TV shows these days.

Yeah, 5-O is great shit. A good cop drama made even better by the awesome scenery. All those old cop shows were good TV -- Rockford Files, Adam 12, '60s Dragnet, Kojak, Columbo, etc. etc.

Cannon is the best, dudes basically a Mary Sue, leans into being fat and uses it to hug people unconscious and there's frequently tuba music whenever he's walking.

Every one of those. Wait, except for '60s Dragnet, that was pretty bad except for hating hippies. The '50s one is a classic tho, the only show I've ever seen where they actually show how cops really operate. Where they got two guys asking the suspect questions really fast, forcing him to make up lies. And then they turn around and ask him to repeat it back. And then they lie to him about what he said the first time and he can't remember what he said because it was a lie and gets really confused.
