(The Real) Starbuck Talks
I'm finding quite a bit to enjoy on Andrew Breitbart's new Big Hollywood site, which opened for business earlier this month.
Today Dirk Benedict, who played the Han Solo inspired rogue Starbuck on the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, tells us what he really thinks about the depressing "re-imagining" of the series by TV's current GALACTICA.
He writes "'Un-imagining' is more accurate. To take what once was and twist it into what never was intended. So that a television show based on hope, spiritual faith and family is un-imagined and regurgitated as a show of despair, sexual violence and family dysfunction."
Trivia Quiz: Anyone remember who played Starbuck's father on the original series?
Hint: I've reviewed five of his movies in the last week!

I didn't watch this show very often, but I know the answer because TiVo keeps wanting to record the episode(s?) when Fred Astaire guest stars as Starbuck's father.

That's funny!

There's also an episode of WILL & GRACE that TiVo always wants to record because the episode is named: Fred Astaire and Ginger Chicken.
Sometimes TiVo is very amusing.
