The original BSG series that aired in 1978 claimed 65 million viewers, versus the new BSG series claims 2-3 million on sci-fi channel. But we need to account for the fact that the new series is on cable/satellite TV (Sci-fi/SkyOne) and not public broadcast channel.
The new Dr. Who series, which was broadcasted on BBC in the UK, had over 10 million viewers. That's a huge number in that market.
Whats unique about BSG 2004 is that the show is a successful reimagined series. It's kind of like Serenity the movie was a "re-telling" of the Firefly TV series. This opens up a lot of possibilities. I'd prolly jump for joy if they do an reimagined Babylon-5.
