How could they not mention Princess Ardala? What a beauty. Any episode with her was my favorite. However,the coolest moment was when they had Buster Crabbe appear as a fighter pilot to help Buck Rogers -playing a character named Gordon,of course. " "Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" ?"Son,I've been doing that since before you were born." "You think so?" "Young man,I know so."

Gil Gerard? Erin Gray was the real attraction for fans, and unsurprisingly the second season quickly cratered when the new producers reduced her role in the show. She was a stunner as a 28-year-old, and she's still a beautiful woman at 72.

Agreed. Her role and position within the story was greatly diminished. And besides her looks, fans loved the fact that she was a strong character. Same with Ardala, and Marla Landers.

The difference in roles between the two seasons is beyond startling. She went from ultra-cool Colonel with a commanding appearance to...I dunno, a flight attendant in space. That ship they were on was also a rehashed ship from the Galactica fleet...

Erin Grey! What a honey! Beautiful, dignified, graceful moves, fine timing. Excuse me while I swoon, just like when we first saw her. And from what I’ve heard about how she’s helped her Buck R cast members commercialize their past TV fame, a sharp businesswoman as well. But we all know there was a fine brain to go with that shape and smile, did we not? Love you Colonel Deering!

Its so devastating what addictions can do to people, Gil Gerard is lucky to still be alive. That massive weight gain and loss could have easily proved fatal.

After Battlestar was canceled(my favorite show at the time) Buck was definitely my favorite at that time, but I had to go to bed before I could see the second part of the pilot episode. It wasn't until reruns that I got to see the whole thing. Bought the whole series on DVD and still occasionally watch it streamed.

I often wondered where she went because I'm sure I have seen what other projects she appeared in. They just don't have Girls like her anymore.

SACRILEGE! You didn't include Pamela Hensley in your presentation. As Princess Ardala, she was the only actress who could challenge (Note: I said challenge) Erin Grey for the top spot as the most beautiful woman to appear on the show. She was deliciously evil in her role as the perpetual "bad girl" - always trying to drag Buck to the alter, while hoping to destroy the earth. And those (heh, heh!) near outfits she wore on the series drove me and the rest the guys in the dorm room wild! I think you should also have mentioned the fact that Buster Crabb, the original Buck Rogers, made an appearance in an episode. I knew who he was when I saw it, and added a nice layer to the show, linking the TV series and the movie serial together.

The Buster Crabbe joke worked on so many levels. Buck Rogers, having spent 500 years in suspended animation, was "older" than any other human. But Crabbe was the first Buck Rogers in the old movie serials, so he had indeed been doing it before Gil Gerard was born. But the character Crabbe played in the episode was named Gordon - like in Flash Gordon, which actually appeared in comic strips before Buck Rogers was created, therefore, before Rogers was born. Crabbe also played Flash Gordon in movie serials, before playing Buck Rogers.

My favorite episode was the pilot, the plot to kill a city, cosmic whiz kid, Vegas in Space, actually nearly all of season one was great. I even liked season two, but not as much as the first season. I own the DVDs so I watch them repeatedly. I loved Buck Rogers more than Battlestar Galactica. Gil Gerard was fantastic as Buck. And the lovely Erin Gray, wow!

Love the format of your vids. Good research. Good info. Smooth fades. Audio voice overs perfect levels. Perfect short channel info placement after the hook. Nice graphic usage. Good job. Keep up the great work! P.s. Device resolve much? Haha.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, I loved it. Keep doing what you do.

I began watching this in Season 2 reruns, not knowing it was Season 2. My faves from this season are "Crystals" and "Testimony of a Traitor." My fave from Season 1 is "Space Vampire." "A Dream of Jennifer" had its moments, though Buck should've realized that if it was really her, she would be over 500 years old. Gil Rogers is so attractive in this show and is the main reason I still watch it, regardless of the episode plots, plus I totally love the opening and closing themes. And the nice, often tender interactions of the characters, especially in Season 2.

I was so young when that show came out I don't remember specific details of any episodes but I remember the series pretty good on the same I loved it when I was a kid it was one of the first things that got me into sci-fi

Buck Rodgers was one of my favourite programs of my youth

I think the song they wrote for the end of the movie and show was very good. It describes how buck probably felt. I have just watched the one with the original Buck Rodgers movie serials and what he says to this Buck is a reference to him being Buck Back in the 30's serials. You were a little hard on Hawk. I thought that was an interesting Character to add and he was an interesting addition. His ship was cool too. And we can't forget Major Dearing. Beautiful but strong. You just had to love her. I did. You can watch both seasons on Tubi if anyone is interested. Buck was one of my heroes growing up and I wanted to be like him. So maybe some of the good in me and who I am as a person might be because I did want to be like him. Thanks Mr. Gerard for being my hero.

Space Vampire was my fav episode!

For a brief time in my childhood, this show was at the pinnacle of my television viewing. I remember being amazed & awestruck when Buck and the robots walked through the ruins of post-apocalyptic Chicago. AND I had the biggest crush on Erin Gray and continued to find her amazingly attractive into my adulthood! Pamela Hensley- Princess Ardala- was quite sexy as well!

My sentimental favorite episode was "Cruise Ship to the Stars", for I was smitten with Dorothy Stratten. Her voice, however, was dubbed for some inexplicable reason.

I did see the original pilot episode in the theater, loved it from the opening credits, my favorite show was the first meeting with Princess Ardala, Buck was so cool, you could see he had a plan forming, I myself would have been on her like a starving rat on a cheeto.

My favourite must be the one with the original actor who played Buck Rogers Buster Crabbe his famous line in it Buck has a moment I remember " I've be doing this since before you was born " Buck smiles and answer "Sure you have? " . But the episode I think is best is the last it ended but left it open for Buck to return someday of this course isn't possible but who can say that a new version isn't on the horizon a new trilogy a new beginning same pilot different century it could be done a massive retelling of a classic movie of yesterday for the future Buck Rogers retro hero?
