Battlestar galactia was such a hit for me.
I did not realize that it first aired as a mini-series.
The show  was like a mix of many shows.
I'm not big into science fiction, but my husband loves it.
Similar to star trek, they lead to use of ships and planets.
I'm surprised it only lasted four seasons.
Shows like this rely on a cult fanbase.
Ah, that is true.  But they won so many awards like a Peabody and several Emmy nominations.
Every show with a good mind behind it gets it's chance though.
It seems the visual effects were pretty award winning as well.
