Editing TV movies

Various '''television movies''' were released for all four of the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series, whether solely on VHS, on DVD, or for broadcast television as movie or mini-series events.  

== Original Series ==
During and, more specifically, after the first run of the [[Original Series]], aired episodes were re-cut and distributed. The ones from the Original Series (both ''Battlestar Galactica'' and ''[[Galactica 1980]]'') that combine television episodes into feature-length installments. Due to the haphazard way these are edited, they are replete with chopped and misplaced scenes; obvious dubbing of dialogue by different actors; costume and hairstyle changes from one scene to the next; and a plethora of plot confusion. 

As was the case with other telemovies at the time from out-of-production television shows, entirely new footage was created to help bridge narrative changes. This is mainly the case with ''[[Experiment in Terra (TV movie)|Experiment in Terra]]''. 

These were released on both television and, later, [[VHS]]. Due to the obsolescence of magnetic tape, all of the telemovies are archived online via the [https://archive.org Internet Archive].
