'''''Battlestar Galactica''''' is an American [[science fiction on television|science fiction television]] series created by [[Glen A. Larson]] that aired on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] network from September 17, 1978, to April 29, 1979. It stars an ensemble cast led by [[Lorne Greene]], [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]], and [[Dirk Benedict]]. The series follows a group of human survivors fleeing the destruction of their homeworlds aboard the [[Battlestar Galactica (fictional spacecraft)|titular spacecraft]], searching for a new home while they are being pursued by the [[Cylon (Battlestar Galactica)|Cylons]].

Beginning production as a miniseries, ABC subsequently ordered a full season and the show was reworked as an episodic serial. However, high production costs and declining ratings led to the series' cancellation after twenty-four episodes. ABC attempted to revive the series as a lower-budget spinoff, ''[[Galactica 1980]]'', but it performed poorly and was cancelled after airing ten episodes. Despite initially failing to find a wide audience, ''Battlestar Galactica'' developed a 1970s American cult and pop culture following. The show also spawned a [[Battlestar Galactica|media franchise]] which includes [[Battlestar Galactica (comics)|comics]], theme park attractions, games, and the [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|reimagined series]].

== Series overview ==
{{:List of Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series) and Galactica 1980 episodes}}
In a distant star system, the Twelve Colonies of Mankind were reaching the end of a thousand-year war with the [[Cylon (1978)|Cylons]], warrior robots created by a reptilian race which expired long ago, presumably destroyed by their own creations. Humanity was ultimately defeated in a sneak attack on the colonies by the Cylons, carried out with the help of a human traitor, [[Lord Baltar|Baltar]]. Protected by the last surviving [[capital ship|capital warship]], a battlestar, named ''[[Battlestar Galactica (fictional spacecraft)|Galactica]]'', the survivors fled in available ships. The Commander of the ''Galactica'', [[Commander Adama (original Battlestar Galactica)|Adama]], led this "rag-tag fugitive fleet" of 220 ships in search of a new home. They begin a quest to find the long lost thirteenth tribe of humanity that had settled on a legendary planet called Earth. However, the Cylons continued to pursue them relentlessly across the galaxy. The [[List of Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series) and Galactica 1980 characters|main characters]] include [[Captain Apollo]], a Colonial warrior, fighter pilot and the son of Adama. His best friend is [[Lieutenant Starbuck]], a highly regarded fighter pilot, and also a gambler and womanizer.

The era in which this [[Human migration|exodus]] took place is never clearly stated in the series itself. At the start of the series, it is mentioned as being "the seventh millennium of time", although it is unknown when this is in relation to Earth's history. The final aired episode, "The Hand of God", indicates that the original series took place after the [[Apollo 11]] Moon landing in 1969 as the ''Galactica'' receives a television transmission from Earth showing the landing. The later ''Galactica 1980'' series is expressly set in the year 1980 after a 30-year voyage to Earth.

A member of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], Larson incorporated many themes from [[Mormonism|Mormon theology]] into the shows.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Movies/2005/05/Born-Again-Battlestar.aspx |title=The Theology of Sci Fi Channel's 'Battlestar Galactica' |work=beliefnet.com |date=May 2005 |author=Ellen Leventry |access-date=November 3, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bennett |first=Jim |date=2014-11-21 |title=Mormon creator of 'Battlestar Galactica' dared to produce something profound |url=https://www.deseret.com/2014/11/22/20553208/mormon-creator-of-battlestar-galactica-dared-to-produce-something-profound |access-date=2021-10-24 |website=[[Deseret News]] |language=en}}</ref>

==Pilot and subsequent changes==
{{main|Saga of a Star World}}

The pilot, budgeted at $8 million (one of the most expensive at that time), was theatrically released in [[Sensurround]]. An edited version was released on July 8, 1978, in several regions including Canada, Japan, and select [[Western Europe]]an countries.<ref name=AFI>{{AFI film|56136|title=Battlestar Galactica}}</ref>

On September 17, 1978, the full 148-minute pilot premiered on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to high [[Nielsen ratings]].  Two–thirds of the way through the broadcast, ABC interrupted with a special report of the signing of the [[Camp David Accords]] at the [[White House]] by Israeli Prime Minister [[Menachem Begin]] and Egyptian President [[Anwar Sadat]], witnessed by U.S. President [[Jimmy Carter]].  Following the ceremony, ABC resumed the broadcast at the point where it was interrupted. This interruption did not occur on the West Coast. After the pilot aired, the 125-minute theatrical version received a nationwide theatrical release in May 1979.<ref name=AFI/>

The pilot had originally been announced as the first of three television films. After broadcast of the second episode, "Lost Planet of the Gods", however, Larson announced the format change to a weekly series, catching his writing and production staff off guard. This resulted in several 'crash of the week' episodes until other scripts could resume. "Lost Planet" also introduced a costume change from the original, in that the warriors' dress uniform featured a gold-trimmed cape falling to upper thigh. Because of the costume change, a portion of the pilot was reshot; this refilmed version was released in cinemas in 1979. The original version of the warriors' dress uniform, a plain, mid-thigh-length cape, is documented in ''The Official Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook'' by James Neyland, 1978.

==Legal troubles==
In 1978, [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (producers of ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]'') sued [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] (producers of ''Battlestar Galactica'') for [[plagiarism]], [[copyright infringement]], [[unfair competition]], and [[Lanham Act]] claims,<ref name=Universal_vs_BSG>Fullen, Andrew.

''Star Wars'' director [[George Lucas]] additionally threatened legal action against Apogee, Inc., the visual effects studio formed by [[John Dykstra]] and several other former artists from Lucas' [[Industrial Light and Magic]] who decided to remain in [[Van Nuys]] rather than relocate to [[San Rafael, California]] with the rest of the company. Lucas claimed that Apogee's work on ''Galactica'' was being done with equipment that he had left behind, for a project that would be in direct competition against ''Star Wars''. Eventually, Apogee agreed to surrender the equipment to ILM, and several members of Dykstra's team returned to ILM. Afterwards, Universal's newly formed visual effects division, [[Universal Hartland Visual Effects]], took over the show's visual effects for the remainder of its run. Lucas also went after ''Galactica'' merchandise, claiming that the [[Cylon Raider]] and Colonial Viper toys could be confused with his own ''Star Wars'' toys. His major contention was that the ''Galactica'' toys featured plastic pellets that could be fired to simulate lasers, and these constituted a choking hazard for children, and he did not want to be blamed for any such accidents, despite none of the ''Star Wars'' toys offered by [[Kenner]] having anything similar.

Such an accident came to pass on Christmas Day 1978, when a four-year-old child accidentally shot a pellet from a Cylon Raider toy into his mouth, where it lodged in his larynx and caused his brain to be deprived of oxygen: he was declared dead six days later on New Year's Eve 1978. The following year, [[Mattel]] issued an immediate recall of all ''Galactica'' toys,<ref name="cpsc.gov">{{Cite web |url=https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1979/Mattel-Announces-Toy-Replacement-Program |title=Mattel Announces Toy Replacement Program |website=U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission |accessdate=28 August 2023}}</ref> and the boy's parents sued Mattel. A second incident involved the Colonial Viper toy which ended in emergency surgery to remove an inhaled pellet from a young boy's lungs. The second incident was not fatal, but Mattel subsequently redesigned all of its ''Galactica'' toys so that the pellets no longer left the toy when fired.<ref name="cpsc.gov"/><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://2warpstoneptune.com/2012/11/19/mattels-missile-toy-recall/ |title=Mattel's 'Missile Toy' Recall, 1979 |date=19 November 2012}}</ref>

==Ratings==
''Battlestar Galactica'' initially was a ratings success. CBS counter programmed by moving its Sunday block of ''[[All in the Family]]'' and ''[[Alice (American TV series)|Alice]]'' an hour earlier, to compete with ''Galactica'' in the 8:00 timeslot. From October 1978 to March 1979, ''All in the Family'' averaged more than 40 percent of the 8:00 audience, against ''Galactica's'' 28 percent.<ref>"Battlestar Show Blasting Nowhere at Light Speed".  The Montreal Gazette - Mar 27, 1979; Wilmington Morning Star Jan 11, 1979.</ref>

In mid-April 1979, ABC executives canceled the show. An AP article reported "The decision to bump the expensive ''Battlestar Galactica'' was not surprising. The series ... had been broadcast irregularly in recent weeks, attracting slightly over a quarter of the audience in its Sunday night time slot."<ref>"Battlestar Galactica, Five others to be Cancelled Next Fall by ABC."

For the 1978–79 season as a whole, ''Battlestar Galactica'' ranked 34th out of 114 shows airing that season, averaging a 19.6 rating and a 30 share.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/79-OCR/BC-1979-06-18-OCR-Page-0056.pdf |title=World Radio History |access-date=2021-06-28 |archive-date=2021-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418002223/https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/79-OCR/BC-1979-06-18-OCR-Page-0056.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Language==
{{original research section|date=October 2023}}
While primarily English, the Colonial language was written to include several fictional words that differentiated its culture from those of Earth, most notably time units and expletives. The words were roughly equivalent to their English counterparts, and the minor technical differences in meaning were suggestive to the viewer. Colonial distance and time units were incompletely explained and inconsistent in their usage, but appear to have been primarily in a decimal format.

{{anchor|centon}}
:'''Time units''' included micron (less than one second), centon (minute), centar (hour), cycle (day), secton (week), sectar (month), quatron (unknown, perhaps a 25 centar day or maybe 1/4 yahren), yahren (Colonial year), and centuron (Colonial century).

:'''Deprecated time units''' A ''millicenton'' was about 10 minutes long and only used in the first few episodes.  The ''microcenton'' was replaced with the ''micron'' after the 2nd episode "Lost Planet of the Gods".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://members.tripod.com/john_larocque/tns/timeunit.html|title=Battlestar Galactica Time Units and Their Earth Equivalents|website=members.tripod.com|accessdate=28 August 2023}}</ref>

:'''Distance units''' were metron (meter), maxim, hectar, and a few other rarely used words.

:'''Expletives''' included "[[Frak (expletive)|frack]]", also spelled "frak" (interjection), "feldergarb" (noun), "snitrag" (noun), and "golmogging", also spelled "gall-mogging" and "galmonging" (adjective). These words avoided [[Federal Communications Commission|US FCC]] guidelines on the use of profanities and the associated fines.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.today.com/id/wbna26510283 |title=What the frak? Faux curse sweeps geek nation |agency=AP |publisher= Today |date=September 2, 2008 |access-date=April 6, 2015}}</ref>

:'''Other terms''' included daggit (a canine–like animal indigenous to one of the colonies), ducat (ticket), pyramid (card game), cubit (unit of currency represented by rectangular coins), triad (a full contact ball and goal game similar to basketball), lupus (a wolf-like animal indigenous to another of the colonies), travelator (travel agent), officiator (referee for triad game) and sociolator (prostitute/escort).

:'''Figures of speech''' There were a number of these used in the series, such as "daggit dribble", a term used to condemn falsehood, and "daggit-meat", used as an expression of contempt.

==Music==
{{unreferenced section|date=November 2020}}
The show's original music was composed and conducted by [[Stu Phillips (composer)|Stu Phillips]], with the pilot score performed by the [[Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra]]. It was recorded at 20th Century Fox, which later sued Universal over the series. [[MCA Records]] released a soundtrack album on LP and cassette with Phillips as the music producer; the album was later reissued on compact disc by Edel in 1993, and [[Geffen Records]] in 2003. For the series, Phillips used a studio orchestra at Universal, although the theme and end credits music as recorded by the LAPO were retained.

In 2011–2012 [[Intrada Records]] released four albums featuring Phillips's music for the series, representing the first commercial release of music other than that of the pilot. (Phillips previously produced a four-CD promotional set.) Except the first, all are two-disc sets.
* 2011: ''Battlestar Galactica'' Volume 1: "Saga of a Star World".
* 2011: ''Battlestar Galactica'' Volume 2: "Lost Planet of the Gods" parts 1 and 2, and "Gun on Ice Planet Zero" parts 1 and 2.
* 2012: ''Battlestar Galactica'' Volume 3: "The Long Patrol", "The Lost Warrior", "The Magnificent Warriors", "The Young Lords", "Murder on the ''Rising Star''", "Take the ''Celestra''", "The Hand of God", and ''[[Galactica 1980]]'s'' "The Return of Starbuck".
* 2012: ''Battlestar Galactica'' Volume 4: "The Living Legend" parts 1 and 2, and "War of the Gods" parts 1 and 2, plus music recorded for ''Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack'' and ''Galactica 1980''.

"Fire in Space", "The Man with Nine Lives", "Greetings from Earth", "Baltar's Escape", and "Experiment in Terra" were entirely tracked with preexisting material.

==Criticism==
''Battlestar Galactica'' was criticized by [[Melor Sturua]] in the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] newspaper ''[[Izvestia]]''. He saw an analogy between the fictional Colonial/Cylon negotiations and the US/Soviet [[SALT]] talks and accused the series of being inspired by [[Anti-Sovietism|anti-Soviet]] hysteria.<ref name="galactica1981">{{cite web |url=http://galactica1981.tripod.com/Critics.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131027234035/http://galactica1981.tripod.com/Critics.htm |archive-date=October 27, 2013 |title=Critics' reviews of Battlestar Galactica |publisher=Galactica1981.tripod.com |access-date=January 7, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Follow-on projects==
In 1999, [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]] (who had played Apollo) released a trailer for a proposed sequel, ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming]]''.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The series was remade with a reimagined three-hour [[Battlestar Galactica (miniseries)|miniseries]] in 2003 and followed by a [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|weekly series]] that ran from 2004 to 2009.

''[[Caprica]]'' was a [[prequel]] series to the 2004 reimagined series that ran for 19 episodes in 2010. It is set 58 years before the main series on the Colonial capital world of Caprica, showing how humanity first created the Cylons, who would later turn against their human masters. One last installment, ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome]]'', a sequel set during the First Cylon War after the events of ''Caprica'', was released on [[Machinima, Inc.]] before being released to home video in 2012.

In 2009, [[Bryan Singer]] was tapped to direct a feature film remake with production input from original series creator Glen A. Larson.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Bryan Singer onboard Battlestar Galactica film |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2009/aug/14/battlestar-galactica-film-bryan-singer |newspaper=The Guardian |date=14 August 2009 |access-date=11 February 2017}}</ref><ref>[http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmemo/2009/08/singer-back-to-scifi.html Bryan Singer to Direct "Battlestar Galactica"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090816155921/http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmemo/2009/08/singer-back-to-scifi.html |date=August 16, 2009}}.

A ''Battlestar Galactica'' project was announced in 2020 as a future addition to [[NBCUniversal]]'s [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock]] streaming service.
