Happy Birthday Battlestar Galactica!

Created by Glen A Larson, 'Battlestar Galactica' was first broadcast on the ABC network in the US on this day, September 17 in 1978 with the pilot episode 'Saga Of A Star World'.

Legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie (who is best known for his work on the 'Star Wars' saga) did the concept art for the the pilot 'Saga Of A Star World' to convince the studios to pick up this costly project. You can see the concept art below, as well as posters and other art inspired by the show.

Despite ABC initially cancelling it after one season and 24 episodes later, there was a short-lived spin off series, 'Galactica 1980', and more recently, a hugely popular re-imagined version, created by Ronald D Moore and David Eick, that ran for four seasons, followed by the prequel series 'Caprica' and a spinoff prequel movie 'Blood & Chrome'.

Happy birthday Battlestar Galactica!
