Default Re: Here's Why Cancelling Battlestar Galactica Was a Horrible Decision!

It's hard to say. One thing I will note is that by the late 70s, the age of the "occasional movie" series was on the way out. Universal and NBC had been successful with them for much of the 70s with the rotating "NBC Mystery Movie" series for the first half of the decade but those shows were finally gone in 78. Would an audience have come back to watch a new Galactica movie two-three months after the previous one? The quality of the writing I'm sure would have been better but its not a guarantee the numbers would have been sustained.
