As far as Battlestar Galactica goes, I just can't bring myself to watch it having very distinct memories of the original. Not that I was in love with the original, but if they intended to make so many drastic changes, why bother calling it Galactica?

I once thought the same way but the bastards hooked me- and hooked me hard!

Seriously, I'm 34 and was a big fan the original BSG growing up. Heck I even walked into my wedding ceremony a couple years back to the original BSG theme (I thought if the bride could walk down the aisle to a song why can't the guys walk in to a rousing space theme?!?!)! When I first heard about the new series and even after attempting to watch the mini-series as it originally aired I thought 'Bah- what crap. Sacrilege!!!' But...

The guys at the DigitalBits, in their review of the mini-series DVD, stressed that upon watching it commercial free and straight through on the DVD that they gained SO much more respect for it. So I took the plunge and bought it. And tried watching... and enjoyed it... and wanted more. Thanks to UK friends and the fact that Sky showed the entire first season before even half had shown on Sci-Fi I was able to watch through the first season... and loved it. Absolutely. Its now really the only TV series I make a point of watching and I've managed to convert several of my similarly minded friends who also objected to the idea.

No one here can ever know for sure what someone else will like, but like 'Firefly' BSG is another show I'd recommend renting on DVD and giving a watch!
