Actualy the Ratings on the show were excellent, and ABC opted to continue the series, but the cost was to high. Coupled with the added expense the production company was encuring because of the Lucas lawsuites and the fact that Richard Hatch reportedly wanted more money, the producers decided to get out while the getting was good.
Later, by popular demand, they came out with that utter crap show BSG 1980. Kids in space.
What is funny is that in one episode of the Original BSG they showed the Apollo moon landing. ---- The producer of BSG 1980 then figured that it took the fleet 10 years to get to earth from that moment. Which really PO a lot of smart people because radio waves travel so slowly that by the time they would have gotten that far out and then take another 10 years for the fleet to get back to earth, Earth date would have been something like 2340 or so. LOL.
By then we would have been dust or so advanced that the Cyclons would have been nothing to us.
