Possible ways to keep Battlestar Galactica (1978) going for at least three years?

Ok, getting back to the OP question, could BattleStar Galactica have been made cheaper, with less special effects, and still make it? I remember Buck Rogers and it only lasted 2 seasons I think. Maybe more use of miniatures or less space scenes.

Cutting the cost possibly by half or a quarter to 500 or 750k would help out a lot.
