Tried to watch the miniseries earlier this week and just couldn't get into it for some reason. Should I netfix it again and give it another try?
BTW I remember the original BSG and it was sorta cheesy.

What you should do is Netflix the original BSG pilot, and after you have subjected your mind to that, Netflix BSG the mini-series and enjoy.

Did you watch the whole thing? Because the first half of the miniseries, up until the whole Cylon-apocalypse stuff, is pretty dull. After that it picks up.
There are some problems and missteps in the first few episodes (but hell, even Firefly had that problem to an extent, remember Bushwhacked?), but like Firefly you'll be completely hooked halfway in the first season.
Oh, but do yourself one favor - the sixth episode, called "Litmus" - just skip it. Other than that, yeah, go on and give it another chance.

5x5: Alan Tudyk was in 28 Days, not 28 Days Later. There's a difference.

Hehe. I just went and watched the part with the firefly going past the window. I love it! I had no dea what Firefly was when I first saw the new BSG pilot. That rocks.
The original series pilot was just on sci-fi on Thursday morning. Old BSG mini-marathon from 8 AM to 4 PM.
I recorded the pilot (3 hours) and "The Living Legend" (2 hours) which is the old series Battlestar Pegasus returns episode(s). Just bumped the ReplayTV recorder to 20 hours for BSG so the mini-marathon on Tuesday of the last 8 eps of the new series doesn't overwrite em.... Guess they are letting people get ready for the next episode after newyears.

I have a feeling Firefly was heavily influenced by one of the Original Battlestar episodes.
There is an episode where Appollo lands on a "frontier planet" complete with Cowboy Hats and Six Shooters. The Evil Mayor is kept in office because no one can out shoot his main henchman.
Select to view spoiler:
Turns out the henchman is a deranged Cylon.
I loved the Original BSG when I was a kid, and it still brings back good feelings of nostalgia.
But, the New BSG Absolutely Rocks.

I guess I'll have to give it another try then. I only saw the first hour-it was interesting but a bit slow.
