My wife & I started watching the original BG recently. We're just a few episodes in, but we both feel like it's a bit hard to follow..

Really? What confused you?

I wonder if people generally felt that way when it came out, because there's only one season.

The main reasons were due to:
1) The show was constantly being pre-empted for one special or another, so
gaining an audience was difficult.
2) Cost (probably the main reason). Each episode cost about a million
bucks. It was the most expensive TV series to date (1978).

Granted, it wasn't perfect, but considering it was the '70s, producing a weekly space adventure show, without the use of CGI, is pretty impressive.

As I said, it just seems a bit hard to follow. One thing is that it seems to suddenly switch from one scene to another without a setup for context, so it has been a bit difficult to follow what all is going on. Also maybe the pacing is another thing..
