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

Most of the telemovies NBC put out were garbage. I have no doubt that a series of BG movies would have faired better, but you are right in that holding on to an audience over time would be problematic.

Some network tried that approach with the Brady Variety Hour. That show, along with a couple others, were rotated and couldn't hold on to an audience. (It didn't help that Brady Variety Hour was their version of Galactica 1980.)

I think we may have ended up with more episode-hours with the one season than if we had a series of telemovies.

And say what you like, Fire In Space was a fun episode. And the first hour of Greetings From Earth was some of the best science fiction out there!
