My Father commented, it may even have been this episode, when looking at Erin of how she had been poured into her costume. On Buck Rogers, they tended to do that with the guest actresses.

C'est la vie! That's TV of then, beautiful babes, and as Marianna Hill in ST:TOS "Dagger in the Mind" proved the Dempsey & Makepeace line of "Hey (Makepeace), if you want an academy award, you should've landed on your back.".

The wardrobe design got top marks all-around, where the first season was concerned.

In the second season, they stuck Erin in a costume more appropriate for anime. But most of that season is tragically bad television, anyway.

Favorite has always been Star Trek original. The best episode for me is "Who Mourns for Adonis" because it explored the theory, I believe for the first time, that Greek and Roman gods, were really space beings that came down to earth and were worshiped by people. The Enterprise encountered Apollo being the last of those gods. The episode is a rather sad one.

Star Trek. As far as the original series goes, my favorite episodes are the ones that were set here on earth.

Original Battlestar Galactica. Episodes: The Living Legend, The Man With Nine Lives, Murder On the Rising Star, and Hand of God.

Buck Rogers, first season, all episodes with Pricness Ardala. I was in my early teens when that show was on.

Do you (et al) remember when Battlestar Galactica tried making a comeback as 'Galactica 1980'?
They landed on Earth, and it was a really good string of episodes, but folded up pretty quickly.

I've read that those '1980' episodes were rebranded and just packaged as regular Battlestar Galactica episodes for syndication..

I can't say that I remember a string of good episodes from Galactica 1980 but what else was out there in the genre. Buck Rodgers also had a soft reboot for the worst. I could barely get a distorted picture Blake's 7 from a far out PBS station as my local one didn't carry it.

I remember the Battlestar Galactica 1980 but didn't think it was as good. I seem to remember it didn't last a full season, and the reason the show was cancelled was due to the high production costs.

While I am sure the original series cost a fortune to create back in the day, they got their moneys worth. A classic series fondly remembered by many.
