From what I remember:

Twirly UFO race wants to conquer Earth. Their brilliant strategy, after traveling through space at incredible speeds, is to slow way down and go at it 3 or 4 Twirlies at a time, every week or so. The invaders from the video game Space Invaders are master war strategists next to these idiots.

Meanwhile, humanity has this secret moon base where women all have purple hair and wear really tight silver outfits. The men dont care much about fashion on the moon, they are too busy piloting 3 or 4 white space fighter planes, each equiped with only one big old missile at the tip. That's enough to take care of all but one of the Twirlies.

The remaining Twirlie would be handled by the crack team on Earth. This consists of manly men with sideburns who wear polyester suits, drive Lamborghinis and constantly hit on the female staff who on Earth can have different styles of hair but must wear really really short skirts, probably because of increased gravity.

They all look very worried about the leftover Twirlie for forty minutes or so. If civilians were to find out there are space aliens trying to invade Earth riding Frisbies, they would freak out! They would freak out even more about the massive amounts of money wasted on Lamborghinis, leisure suits, mini skirts, purple wigs, aluminum foil, moon based space planes with phallic missiles, etc...

But, not worries. By the end of the show, the men are back to the more pressing concern of flirting with the hotties.

I don't think that word means what you think it means...

Seriously. A little over a minute of electric bass with minimal percussion as the pilots scrambled for launch. Damn! It was cool!

I'd like to see a throw down match between Barry Gray and Alexander Courage!

btw, in terms of pure cheese, space: 1999 (imo) wasn't near the original BSG. of course, as cheesy as BSG was...there was always buck rogers...
