	''Galactica 1980'' had a promising start in its ratings with a [[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I\|three-hour adventure]] that saw Troy, Tyrol and Hamilton sent back in time to the Ottoman Empire to save the future, but the series could not sustain this momentum. The series was unceremoniously canceled after only eleven episodes, many of which were story arcs, or what would be referred to now as multi-part stories.

	In the fall of 2008, Sci Fi network approached [[Glen A. Larson]] and NBC Universal to bring back the ''Galactica 1980'' series. According to ''1980'' story editor [[Bradley Thompson]], neither Larson nor NBC Universal wanted to do the series at all.

	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 2010 airdate was short. Actors and production personnel who worked on ''Galactica 1980'' describe a crazy shooting schedule that involved working on multiple episodes at the same time, last minute re-writes, and working days that extended well into the night.
