Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Fantastic!!
I had serious doubts about this after reviewing all the pre-release materials. But my first impressions or pre-impressions were off the mark.
They have delivered a Battlestar Galactica that makes our beloved original look more like the shameful Battlestar Galactica 1980, and I really like the original, mostly for the actors/characters.
The new Galactica has erased all doubts and is worthy of a full theatrical release. They've done an extremely good job with this. Congratulations to everyone involved!!

Airwolf (1987)
Argh!
The USA version of Airwolf was a huge disappointment. I categorize this with Battlestar Galatica 1980, another dismal TV sequel also featuring the great acting talents of Barry VanDyke.
The characters from the original were killed off or written out to lighten the financial burden of reviving the show. Aerial footage was for the most part recycled from the original show, which, like Battlestar Galactica, recycled plenty of its own footage.
To further decrease costs, it appears that they shot on videotape rather than film resulting in a lower production quality look.
Airwolf went from sci-fi drama to Saturday morning cartoon. Keep this one in the vault please.
Argh!
