From the IMDB:
In one of the oddest promotional appearances ever before the TV Writers Summer Tour, Edward James Olmos, who is starring in a new Battlestar Galactica miniseries due to air on the Sci-Fi Channel, gave this advice to fans of the original Galactica series, which aired on ABC between 1978 and 1980: "Please don't watch this program," Olmos said. "Buy yourself the new DVDs that they're putting out of the old episodes, and whenever we come on, just put that one in. ... Trust me. Don't watch it. If you're a real, real staunch Battlestar Galactica person, please don't watch it."

I wasn't planning on watching it anyway, but if it sucks this much, I'm there!

Yeah, if the star says that it's crap, it's got to be good!

He's a producer's dream, lol. Someone yank this guy from the promotional junket.

Funny. I remember reading that Battlestar Gallactica was supposed to be a big Hollywood film but it's been reduced now to a new television series? Blah, I'll skip. I never cared too much for the old one and I doubt this new series will be any better.
