I agree with your assessments. Although I’ve never liked Space 1999, original BSG or Buck Rogers that much. Especially the original BSG, which had a very bad late 70s vibe akin to Love Boat, Six Million Dollar Man, The Incredible Hulk and Man From Atlantis lol
SG°1 is fairly light hearted. The first season has the lowest average rating and boasts some of the worst rated episodes in the entire show. After that it gets consistently good. Up until Season 9/10 that is, when you suddenly have Farscape in your SG universe, and an ass-pull of a new “race” appears.
But by then you would start watching SG Atlantis, and the diamond in the rough that is Stargate Universe. The later which somehow makes it all worth it.
Ok, perhaps I should just power through SG season one and see if I can get into it.
BSG definitely is very late 70s American but, as a Canadian, I find Buck Rogers even worse. I don’t think I made it through two or three episodes at most.
