The show that started a world wide phenomenon that is still as popular today as when it first came out!
I was an impressionable young fourteen year old kid when this came out. I remember lying on the floor, hands in cheeks just awe inspired by the amazing show I was watching. The first episode had me hooked and I wanted to be Starbuck or Apollo!
I loved the show so much that I even bought (through mail order at the time) an official warriors jacket from California! Wish I still had that today!!
The Show : The leaders of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind are making plans to sign a peace treaty with their mortal 
enemies, the Cylon Empire. On the eve of the ceremony, the Cylons betray the pact and destroy most of the Colonies and their entire fleet. Under the command of Commander Adama, the battlestar Galactica leads the remaining Colonial ships into space and seeks out a lost thirteenth colony, which turns out to be Earth. Along the way, the Colonials encounter various races (both friendly and hostile), the legendary human warrior Commander Cain, and the planet Kobol, the motherworld of all the Colonies. All the while, the Cylons – under the command of human traitor Count Baltar – closely pursue this fugitive fleet across the universe.
