In a strange way it's kind of bittersweet when I see familiar Galactica props and costumes show up in BR, because it's a sad reminder of how IMO Larson wasn't doing enough of a full-court press to save Galactica at the time.
Getting a chance to go through the entire series on DVD as I did this past year, which marked the first time I'd ever seen the show, I came away feeling it was fun in spots (though I intensely disliked the second season episodes) and it was especially great to see Anne Lockhart show up in one episode. That said, I think when you compare TOS alongside BR you end up realizing what the *real* definition of so-called "cheese" is, and TOS is not the show that falls into that category.
I think the real big flaw of BR personally was not enough Ardala.
