A giant space ship flies around the galaxy, ostensibly exploring but usually running errands.

Popcorn television. There's not much reason to like it. So much is badly done. There's not a single episode without at least one damning flaw. But I just love watching it.

Przemysl, Poland, WWII. Germany emerges victorious over the Russians, and the city comes under Nazi control. The Jewish are sent to the ghettos. While some stand silent, Catholic teenager Stefania Podgorska (portrayed by ER's Kellie Martin as Fusia) chooses the role of a savior and sneaks 13 Jews into her attic. Every day, she risks detection--and immediate execution--by smuggling food and water to the silent group living above her. And when two German nurses are assigned to her living show more quarters, the chances of discovery become dangerously high. This is the true story of a young woman's selfless commitment and unwavering resolve in the face of war. show less

It's retooled every few episodes, but usually involves two guys from the Battlestar Galactica hanging out on Earth.

It's the kind of bad you can have a few good laughs watching, if you like that kind of thing.

2022 movie #135. 1972. The most inept cop house in Boston is looking for a rapist using Welch as bait, a gang setting fire to bums using Reynolds as bait and trying to find a mad bomber (Brenner) killing city officials. Not really played for laughs but comical all the same.
