Info Wanted: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TELEMOVIES (Interest poll)

After the Original Battlestar Galactica’s run was over on television, Universal cut the first season episodes into twelve “telemovies”, to be sold to television stations for syndication.

Sometimes episodes were pieced together with the inclusion of over-dubbed dialog, and bridging sequences (from stock footage).

“Experiment in Terra” is the only one of these telemovies which actually features new footage, as well as footage that is not on the official DVD set.

“EXPERIMENT IN TERRA”
This telemovie begins with Earth astronauts finding a logbook drifting in space. We are then given a brief history of the colonies and the Galactica’s journey across the stars with voiceovers by Lorne Greene and Patrick Macnee. Then the “Experiment In Terra” episode begins.

Now I have an old VHS of this telemovie from when it was shown on San Francisco T.V. years ago, and would like to know if this is something that warrants somekind of restoration and fan torrent type release. Does it?

Yes I'd say it does merit a restoration.
