Just to confirm, I've seen only 1 or 2 of the 1980 series, but every episode of the original.THE CYLONS WERE HUMAN CREATED IN THE ORIGINAL SERIES, BUT THAT WAS ONLY TOUCHED UPON IN THE FIRST FEW EPISODES.

It had to have been during BSG: 1980.
I do, however, remember a scene from an original Galactica episode where Boxie asks Apollo about the Cylons. We learn that the Cylon robots were created by a race of reptilians, also called Cylons. When the race died off, the robots remained and eventually became known as Cylons.
