Cancellation

The show's final episode shown was "The Return of Starbuck" (which featured a guest appearance by Dirk Benedict from the original series).
Glen A. Larson even began to develop a sequel to this episode, but the series was cancelled during production of episode 11, "The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra", which remained unfinished.
