The ''Galactica'' and its fleet finally reached Earth, only to be forced to pass it by to lead the Cylons away. Meanwhile, Troy (Boxey, now an adult) and his wingman Dillon were left on Earth (soon joined by the "Super Scouts", a group of Colonial children stranded by accident), on a mission to uplift Earth science to Colonial standards while maintaining a {{Masquerade}} to avoid drawing Cylon attention.

* WritersCantDoMath: The last episode of the first season ("The Hand of God") had a final scene in which it is revealed that the unusual transmissions that the Galactica observatory was picking up were [[spoiler: the transmissions from the 1969 Apollo moon landing]]. However, ''Galactica 1980'' (which we are led to assume is set in 1980) is said to be set thirty years after the events of the first season. This is impossible to reconcile unless the colonial Yahren was ridiculously short, or the fleet had to take an insanely roundabout course, equivalent to Seattle to Vancouver (a day trip if you go up the coast) by way of Los Angeles, Mexico City, New Orleans, New York, Toronto, and Whitehorse.

Although the series is generally not nearly as well-regarded as its predecessor, Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 ExpandedUniverse materials have frequently imported [[CanonImmigrant selected elements]] of it, like Boxey going by the name Troy when he grows up (in the 1990s-2000s novel series), or the sympathetic Cylon "Cyrus" (in a comic book adaptation). Creator/DynamiteComics actually produced a ''Galactica 1980'' comic book series, featuring Doctor Zee and other elements from the show, but involving a divergent timeline created by time travel.
