Rowan Universal is releasing a digitally enhanced release of Battlestar Galactica and "will show some of the
special features from the dvd"

Rowan I missed the "will show some of the
special features from the dvd" in your post? It ain't in the schedulebot URL either?

[Rowan]

No problems and thanks for the catch. Sci-Fi has revised their page since I first put my post up.

Nope, my DVD info came from an auto news Re: Battlestar Galactica, The Scifi Channel schedulebot never had this DVD data.

[Rowan]

The Sci-Fi channel has been pushing info on the DVD 'hidden parts' in it's commercials all this week. They seem pretty eager to make sure to tie in the DVD relase and the marathon.

Rowan what you are seeing the ads for The Scifi Channel's new: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (4-hour miniseries) - SCI FI re-imagines the groundbreaking and beloved series in which ``a rag, tag fugitive fleet'' of the last remnants of mankind searches for its true home. Fleeing the aliens responsible for the slaughter of their homeworld, the Battlestar Galactica survivors must meet a whole new set of challenges. This intriguing twist on a classic will be written by writer Ronald D. Moore.

This new version of Battlestar Galactica not TOS from 1978/79.
It is scheduled to air Dec. 8th. Plus it will be released to video: Battlestar Galactica (2003 Miniseries) Availability: NOT YET RELEASED: The studio is currently not producing this title on DVD, but to be notified when it is available, enter your e-mail address at right. You'll also be voting for this release; we'll let the studio know how many customers are waiting for this title.

Oh Boy, go read the "All Customer Reviews" of a mini not yet shown!

Do not confuse the two different shows.

Universal is releasing Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Epic Series (1978)
# Amazon.com Sales Rank (DVD): 29

I am a big fan of TOS, like most TOS fans I am very disapointed by the new production. This link is the new script: http://battlestarfanclub.com/battlestar/bgarticle26.htm

We wanted to see, 1.) A Richard Hatch, Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. 2) A Brian Singer/Tom DeSanto production that was a Fox/Scifi Channel joint production, yanked because Fox backed out & Brian Singer/Tom DeSanto moved on to do a movie you might have heard of, X-Men?

Then DeSanto had the sets built, crew was about half cast but was jerked by The Scifi Channel for the above mentioned (a Scifi press release) cheaper version.

Dvo, I'm not getting the two *very* different projects confused. I am *not* seeing the ads for the mini-series. The ads I am talking about are audio ads that I first heard during the Stargate 5 hour block of episodes on Monday night and since at other times on Sci-Fi. No, I'm sorry I wasn't clear that these were only audio ads, not full A/V, but there you have it. They're being played.

The ads are there to try in the 'Classic' Battlestar Galactica marathon tomorrow [Monday,Oct 13th] with their pre-order page listing the entire 'Classic' series on DVD [release date Oct. 21, 2003]. *and* the Movie from 1978 [release date Oct. 21, 2003].
This is what I'm referring to: DVD Pre-Release Order

The Monday marathon is classic BSG. Here's the listed schedule .

I'm very well aware of the difference in the two productions - I watched the classic Battlestar Galactica when it was first shown in the late 1960's. So, I'm not sure how much clearer I can be about this. People can go to the Sci-Fi site and check out what's happeneing when and make up their own minds as to what they want to watch.

Rowan The Scifi Channel is not putting ads on for the original Battlestar Galactica on The Scifi Channel, what you are seeing is Scifi plugging the new version, Battlestar Galactica 2003 is what The Scifi Channel is selling, it would suffer next to TOS.
U R Wrong THIS NEVER HAPPENED:

Availability: This item will be released on October 21, 2003. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives.
Well Rowan, seeing how Battlestar Galactica was only made in the late '70's not the 60's, Rowan: "I watched the classic Battlestar Galactica when it was first shown in the late 1960's" alas this data is not accurate. The movie is the beginning of the Box Set released by Universal on the same date. The Show was on ABC in 1978 & 1979, not at all in the 60's. Glen Larsen helped the Beach Boys in the 60's, he wrote Adam's Ark the precursor of Battlestar Galactica in the 60's. Star Wars allowed ABC to allow his Adam's Ark idea to become Battlestar Galactica, in 1978.

OH YES YOU ARE ROWAN!

Pre-Release Order
ROWAN THIS IS THE ONLY URL FROM SCIFI!
IT AIN'T ON THE SCHEDULEBOT!
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/
I tivo Stargate Mon., & that stupid Tremors & Stargate on Friday, it is the NEW Battlestar Galactica coming Dec. 8th that Scifi is plugging. Not TOS on DVD.

The Scifi Channel is owned by Universal Studios, this show is the result of a legal action between Universal & Glen Larson, the mini series is being made to maintain the franchise, Universal is doing this just doing Battlestar Galactica 2003 just to maintain the franchise.

Ron D. Moore, writer & producer and David Eick the producer are having a great deal of flak from continuation fans. There is one so called fan bboard for the mini, over a dozen for the 25 yaren old show.

Plus Glen Larsen & Tom DeSanto along with Richard Hatch are talking a Battlestar Galactica movie. Larsen also retained the right to produce a Battlestar Galactica.

[Rowan]

Okay... I admit I had trouble remembering the exact date the show came out. It's not like I haven't watched enough TV over the 50-some years of my life. And perhaps I should have gone websurfing and rechecked the date - I will give you that. I will stand by all my other comments, though - about the audio ads and the DVD pre-order. I know what I heard on US TV and I know what I saw on the Sci-Fi web site.

But I will no longer discuss any of these points here with you becasue this is ceasing to be a debate and becoming more of a personal attack. All this thread started out being was an announcement of the marathon tomorrow. I know the difference between the new impending mini-series and the classic older show. And that's the information I'm comfortable with needing to know at this time.

Let's let it go at that, shall we?.
