A blast from the past! - By: Robert, 07 May 2008
In the UK, the first episode was shown when I was a child, but it was presented as a film, & not as a series, & the remaining parts were never shown. I loved every bit it. As kids do, I watched it many many times. It was a nice surprise to find out that the film was actuallly a pilot for 2 seasons of sci-fi.

I've bought both, & enjoy alll the episodes. One interesting thing, is the cover. When it arrived, I read the part about being frozen in the arctic, & was sure he was frozen in space for 500 years. Well, I had remembered correctly, & somehow the marketing guys just made an amusing mistake.

Still Love it ! - By: paul1967, 28 Jun 2007
Yes I know that the special effects are poor compared to todays overload of CGI , but that's the point - the acting carries this Series.

Gil Gerrard is simply brilliant as Buck Rogers & there is of course the *awesome* Erin Grey; her acting coupled with that amazing body draped in Spandex Catsuits being 99% the reason why I couldn't stop watching this series as a 12year old boy. The term "Hot" just doesn't come close... I've never seen any woman Ever move so well...

After buying Both series on DVD I've relived my childhood weekends via 60minute reminders of corny humour, strange costumes ( except Col Deerings' :) ), eccentric storylines & an even more eccentric Wilfrid Hyde-White. Its Great, watching it makes you feel good ! If you ever loved this series as a child then it is a MUST Buy. Sit back, relax & feel the warmth that comes from watching old "friends" on screen again.




Come on Give it a chance - By: Crusader19, 25 Jun 2007
I dont know about the rest of you but I thought it was brilliant. Corny in some places but Brilliant alll the same. I admit the Graphics arent as sophisticated as they are today but baring in mind what they had to work with its still a very good show. I would say its a bit nostalgic but since I wasnt around the first time it was shown I wouldnt know.
Erin Gray is a hottie - By: Martin Grams, Jr., 24 Jun 2007
One aspect of the series is Erin Gray, the co-star of this television program who played Wilma Deering. She is definately eye candy & I recommend the series if not for the clever plots (which reminds you of Star Trek), but for Erin Gray in spandex. Even better, I get to meet Gray personallly at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Aberdeen, Maryland in September. I plan to get an autograph & have my picture taken with her. If you are not familiar with this talented & beautiful actress, this TV series shows just how good she is. Amazon.com has a great price so grab your copy today.
Lucky Buck is back - By: Tori, 18 May 2007
An excellent science fiction series from the '70's that unfortunately, has not aged well. Still, it has given us some iconic characters, after alll, who could forget Twiki & his b-di-di-di? Who cares if the special effects look like they were done in paintbrush or the scripts were written by a five year old? It's still a good nostalgic trip back to when science fiction used to be completely unbelievable.
