My favorite installment of Battlestars is the NEW Battlestars; where the champion of the front round plays for $10,000 against the stars he/she captured.☺ On the New Battlestars, it's fun.☺ In life, moreover, there's a cautionary lesson from the game format:😕 Be very careful with the stars you capture; for the same stars you capture will challenge you at a time you least expect.😮 Some challengers, dishearteningly, may make you wish you left them alone.😒
My revival idea: Burton Richardson: From 'Austin and Ally', LAURA MARANO! Basketball legend MAGIC JOHNSON! Actor/comedian RICHARD KARN! From 'Mama's Family', VICKI LAWRENCE! From 'Phineas and Ferb', ALYSON STONER! And from his TV show, DR. OZ! Those are the Battlestars! And here's the man in command, CAPTAIN MARC SUMMERS!

And here's the man in command... ALEX TREBEK!!!!!
I have a feeling that Marc Summers would be the better choice since he nearly got the job to host the 1998-2004 Hollywood Squares reboot, but lost out to Tom Bergeron. So, hosting a Squares copycat would be sort of redemption for Summers.

out of box choice for announcer, but I love it! a notch in the belt! that would be fun to see Mo make another game show appearance. she needs to make 2. a solo run, but if they had Mike in the lineup, that would be a nice little reunion of sorts. I’d go for Cree Summer for lineup for primetime, also, if it did well, and got a syndication run for daytime, Cree could announce that with a $50000 win. or, if syndication, I’d make that the hundred thousand, and the ABC night time run for 1 million.
Alex Trebek was all wrong to host this show. It was more freewheeling than serious. Peter Marshall should have hosted Battlestars. This show did not fit Alex well. He was out of his element with Battlestars. Still, I like Battlestars and it's one of my all-time favorite game shows.
one commenter gave me some inspo, so here’s my latest reboot take. syndication run, daytime. Cree Summer announces. today, one lucky player could win up to $100,000, with the help of these 6 stars! singer/actress, Coco Jones!! Tennis superstar, Serena Williams! from the WWE, Samantha Ervin! also from the WWE, Bianca Bellair! Cincinnati Reds superstar Ellie Dela Cruise! and from her talk show, Sheri Shepard! these are … the new battlestars! and now, here’s our host, the man in command, Mark Decarlo!
"(Each of 6 celebs announced individually) Those are the Battlestars! And here is the man in command, Alex Trebek!"

Rod Roddy and Charlie Tuna said, that famous line.
So basically, this show ran for 2 seasons. One as Battlestars, the other as The New Battlestars.
0:00-0:35, "Charles Nelson Reilly... Beth Howland... Nipsey Russell... Ricky Schroeder... Elaine Joyce... and Roy Clark... those are the Battlestars. And here's the man in command... ALEX TREBEK!!!!"
RIP "The Man in Command" Alex Trebek.
1:13-1:21, "This is Rod Roddy speaking. Battlestars has been a Merrill Heatter Production!"
Charlie Tuna also did the announcing, from "The New Battlestars".
Rod, Charlie, Merrill, And Alex Sorely Will Be Missed.
The Mort Garson-composed theme song was the only one not used with synthesizers, but with a full orchestra of about 10 musicians or so. It would also be the last theme song Garson composed before his death.
I think this is therefore his best work. It is always better with real instruments.
Here's one for ya:

Why some people nicknamed Battlestars, "Hollywood Triangles."
"And they are the 'Hollywood Triangles'/'New Hollywood Triangles', and here is the man in command, Alex Trebek!"
“From WWE, Bayley and Carmella... from NXT, Johnny Gargano... from Dancing With the Stars, Cheryl Burke... from Nature Cat, Taran Killam... from Court TV, Ashleigh Banfield... and from Live PD, Tom Morris, Jr...

NBC should have kept just men longer than putting the revamped show. Buy the way both shows were going up against family feud on ABC.

No. Keep Cole off anything thats not Raw. Hell. Keep him off Raw.
R.I.P. Alex Trebek, the man in command.
Great examples, guys! Though I personally thought the music had rather more of a "Dragnet 1969" feel to it.
Shame that barely any of this show's run exists. I'd love to see it on buzzr.
Unless (and untill) Sony starts competition...it's not gonna happen.
Sony controls the rights to all hesther merrill shows. They currently distribute a heather merrill property (catch 21)

One question. Where did you get the Battlestars logo (the one that appears at 0:08)?
This was before "Jeopardy!"
Those 6 triangles, was kinda like "Match Game ".
One of the rules of the game, is that we can't reveal, what the answer was.
The game show that canned Card Sharks (boo-hoo) & Just Men! (hooray!).
If you can Name That Tune, then Stratman '78 can change the theme song.
For some reason, I'm getting a Hannah-Barbara vibe too...
I admit, it does sound much like music you would hear in a cartoon.
