It was cancelled after about 9 episodes, if I remember correctly.
Jayfish is right. It was pretty unmemorable. But here are a few details:
It took place about 30 years after the original show, after the Galactica had finally found Earth. Starbuck and Apollo were no longer around, but Boxey was grown up and was played by Kent "Adam 12" McCord, while Lorne Greene's Adama was still alive and sported a beard. The Colonials had super strength on Earth due to our relatively decreased gravity--and this fact, along with the fact that our Earth's cultures were so far behind theirs, led the Colonials to decide to just hang out in space and defend us from incoming Cylon attacks, which were all clips replayed from the original series.
You only wish I were making all of this up.
There was, however, one great episode in which we finally saw the final fate of Starbuck. After a fight with a Cylon raider, he crash-landed on a planet with no hope of rescue. Finding the crashed raider and destroyed Cylons, he is able to repair one of them, and the two grudgingly become friends. It was sort of a rehash of the "Enemy Mine" plot, but as I recall the episode was very poignant, sad, and well-done.
