I liked the old series UNTIL the new one came out. The old series with its cheesy special effects and really bad acting was fun to watch back in 1978. When SciFi reran the old series before bringing out the new one I was surprised at how bad it really was. Some of the story lines like "Count Ibli" and finding lost colonies all the time, but leaving the people there behind when they left just were not believable. Of course they were trying to bring "Star Wars" to TV without ripping off Lucas too much

The new series was very I would say realistic. It looked and felt like these were real people stuck in a hopeless situation and doing their best to survive. It was dark, but the whole situation was dark. The diminishing resources, equipment breaking down, people dying, food running out were all very believeble.
