Every daggit deserves its special day on the majestic bridge of the Galactica, alongside its brave Colonial Warriors, of which Muffey certainly makes a fine fit. Evie the Chimp, playing Muffey, is seen here in posed images likely for either The Long Patrol or Fire in Space.
Soon passing its incredible 45TH ANNIVERSARY legacy, this is a celebration of the classic, world popular original TV series from 1978, created by Glen A. Larson for UNIVERSAL TELEVISION. Re-live the heroic adventures of the crew of the mighty GALACTICA, fleeing the Cylon tyranny, in its epic search for the lost Thirteenth Tribe on Earth.

'GALACTICA' AT 40: DAGGIT VS. CYLON!
It's Muffey the Daggit's finest hour in the pilot episode, as he damages and wrangles a Cylon Centurion to the ground during the Carillon exodus. This was an insert shot that was presumably done at the end of the main filming. Note in the above uncropped shot that Evie the Chimp's jeans-wearing handler can be accidentally seen alongside on the far right side, as well as the corner of the soundstage on the other!

'GALACTICA' AT 40: INTRODUCING BOXEY AND MUFFIT!
![]() |
| A posed image taken during filming of Gun on Ice Planet Zero. |
Apollo and Serina may do their best to keep them safe and away from harm, but there's no doubt about it-young Boxey (Noah Hathaway) and his lovable replacement Daggit in robot 'Muffey' (Evie the Chimp) are an absolute magnet in attracting trouble, be it from Cylons, reptilian-esque Ovions, and more, in the future beyond the Galactica's exodus from the Twelve Colonies. Intriguingly, the feature film version of Saga of a Star World does not state that Boxey is Serina's child, merely a survivor of the attack on Caprica, unlike the TV version and comic book adaptation.

Despite her training, life can't have been comfortable at all for poor Evie the Chimp during filming of the early half of Galactica's singular season, but her on screen performance as the beloved and loyal Muffit the Daggit was always first rate, and her popularity with younger fans swiftly assured.

BEHIND THE SCENES: TIME FOR A BREATHER!
Only in the world of science fiction television film-making would this classic behind the scenes image seem normal, as Dirk Benedict and Evie the Chimp, sans Daggit outfit, take a break from filming Galactica on the UNIVERSAL soundstage.
