Ive watched the first 3 eps and have enjoyed it so far. Does it get worse?

It gets worse - there are some pretty bad episodes in there - but then it gets better again. So it's kind of up and down. Basically, the original has a sizable core of pure genius, but then it gets kind of obscured by a fortunately-not-completely-covering layer of crap added on top.

The modern one is much better, but the original is, IMO, significantly underrated. It apparently got written off as a Star Wars ripoff and nobody ever looked past "OMG fighters in space NOBODY EVAR DID THAT BEFORE STAR WARS YOU ARE T3H LAM3Rz!!!1!!" or something.

The episodes were getting to expensive and then the suckiness started. I was a little kid when they first aired so mostly I didn't notice unless they got *really* bad (grumble-fredaistaire-grumble)

Yeah, it gets worse. Lorne Green is the only saving grace for the show.

Depends on your definition of "worse". I love the original show, warts and all. But the warts..oy. If you can deal with them hitting a casino just a few days after their civilization gets destroyed, then the rest of it shold be okay. Much like original Trek, they occasionally do the completely cracktastic plots (like Starbuck in the Space Family RobinHood episode).

Well, I like the original series, so I don't think it's bad. However, if you end up seeing the "Galactica 80" stuff...yes, it gets MUCH worse. I can't make it through those episodes. Painful to watch.

Well...it got bad, and then a little better...I'm at "The Living Legend," which was pretty awesome. Of course, it's sort of disappointing after new Galactica, but I watch it anyway. Just be prepared for some really, really bad costumes. =P
