In the fall of 1979, ABC Television approached [[Glen A. Larson]] and Universal to bring back ''Galactica'' series. According to ''1980'' story editor [[Chris Bunch]], neither Larson nor Universal wanted to do the series at all. Bunch claims that both parties were threatened to do the series for reasons which were not known to him, and attributes the reason that Larson agreed to do the series to "[whore] for the money with a bad attitude".<ref name="bunch">{{cite_web|url=http://geocities. | In the fall of 1979, ABC Television approached [[Glen A.

All the parties agreed that the discovery of Earth would be a suitable vehicle for drawing back viewers. However, many of the actors had moved on to other roles, most of the sets had been struck, and the time available for completing the production before the proposed January 1980 airdate was short.

The series itself cost between $1.2 and 1.5 million to produce per episode; the $1.5 million number is the budget that "[[The Super Scouts, Part I]]" used.

Furthermore, there could only be so many incidents of violence per episode.

Unfortunately, shooting with large groups of children proved another major headache for the series, forcing the producers to hire child actors who were twins. In addition to the kids having reduced hours of availability, and the lack of professionalism exhibited by them, the cast and crew had to deal with the "stage moms, all of whom ought to be locked up" and the teachers for each kid.
