I watched a couple of episodes of old BSG.
It was retro cool, a little bit camp if I remember rightly. I think all sci-fi of that era had a touch of campness though.

It's good, old-fashioned silly fun,
all these new sci-fi shows take themselves far too seriously if you ask me, and aim quite squarely at the young adult demographic. The old one was a kid's show, really. Now stuff for kids seems to be all lolwacky, and stuff for adults is all doom and gloom.
