''Battlestar Galactica'' first premiered on ABC as a three-hour pilot movie, September 17, 1978, with a total of 16 additional episodes. Heading the cast was veteran actor Lorne Greene as Adama, Richard Hatch as Apollo, and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck. Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, he envisioned the series as having "...a biblical feel. It ties in with Genesis, it ties in with the western pioneers. That's why we can do people stories even though we're in space. It's not a hardware show, although the special effects are magnificient" (Jerry Buck, The San Diego Union TV Week, September 17-28, 1978.) [http://www.battlestargalactica.com/overview.htm]. Bugeted at more than $1,000,000 per episode, it was the most expensive television series to date, with most of the budget devoted to the special effects run by John Dykstra (''Star Wars''). The cost, plus it's 7:00 pm Sunday time slot opposite CBS' ''60 Minutes'', guaranteed the show's cancellation at the end of April, 1979.
