I remember that (the episode, not what you were doing)
And what else I recall is that ABC kept getting telephone calls from
irate viewers who wanted the network to stop showing history being
made and get back to the cheesy visual fiction.
As one commentator said at the time, apparently war in space is far
more interesting than peace on Earth.
Yes, the original Battlestar Galactica was campy, cheesy, and they
showed the same Cylon ships getting blown up over and over, but it
did have its moments and it did give us a series several decades later
that is truly redefining science fiction and making it "legit" to all the
English major out there.
