Battlestar Galactica TV Show is the Best Show on Television? Yes, according to Time Magazine, The National Review, Rolling Stone and New York Newsday. Ronald D. Moore, the producer of Carnivale and writer for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, boldly re-imagined the original 1978 space opera of humans versus the robotic Cylons. He teamed up with fellow executive producer David Eick on a powerful and dramatic update of the Galactica story.
