Dean Zanetos is a screenwriter, director, and producer for television and film with decades of experience working on productions of varying genres and sizes in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. One series Dean Zanetos directed and produced was a 10-episode section of Galactica, the successor series to Battlestar Galactica.
Battlestar Galactica was a sci-fi drama series that aired between September 17, 1978, and April 29, 1979, in 24 episodes. Its cast and crew included members who would become famous for working on sci-fi programs later in their careers, such as Ian Abercrombie and Winrich Kolbe. Its creator, Glen A. Larson, designed the series to make sci-fi accessible to a broad audience.
Though multiple publications praised Battlestar Galactica before the September 1978 premiere, its costly budget, production issues, and lineup changes affected its ratings. It ranked fifth in ratings in its first week. Although the ratings gradually decreased, it performed well relative to other shows in the same time slot.
In the fall of 1979, Galactica, a series taking place 100 years after the original series, aired. However, it competed with 60 Minutes. Galactica was canceled after only 10 episodes.
