- In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers is caught in a freak accident in deep space, causing his space shuttle Ranger 3 to be blown into an orbit that returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. The combination of gases that freezes him comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for preservation, and his rescuers are able to revive him. In 2491, when Buck awakens from the freezing, Earth is recovering from a nuclear war and is coming under hostile attack by the Draconian Empire. In the second season, Buck has been assigned aboard the Searcher, a starship exploring the unknown reaches of space while searching for former Earth colonies that are scattered across the galaxy.
- In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers tests the space shuttle Ranger 3. His flight was to last only five months, but a meteor storm damages his life-support systems, freezing him solid, and casts Ranger 3 into an orbit which returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. Soon after Buck departs, Earth was devastated by a nuclear war caused by a renegade group of military officers. In 2491, after Buck has survived due to the freezing, he is revived and tries to adjust to life on 25th-century post-nuclear Earth. In the second season, Buck joins the crew of the Searcher, a starship dispatched to locate former Earth colonies in deep space.
- This series is fun and somewhat compelling to watch. But in every episode there are recurring incidents which defy any sense of innovativeness: 1. Panels on walls are destroyed. Approximately three per episode. This is done primarily to lock someone in a room.<br/><br/>2. Buck Rogers is deep in enemy territory and uses force to get the job done. 9 of 10 episodes' problems are solved in this manner. If he is captured or wants to free someone, he'll just have to start swinging at the guards and everything will be fine. Never any solutions based on intellect.<br/><br/>3. Buck Rogers is labeled by someone as the most perfect creature in the entire universe.<br/><br/>4. A new woman is introduced and shows immediate affection for Buck Rogers.<br/><br/>5. When they are flying in space, there is no variation from the theme of shooting at other spacecraft, and one hit always means the destruction of the target.<br/><br/>6. Twiki is unable to say anything that isn't deeply annoying.<br/><br/>7. Dr. Huer is very sensible.<br/><br/>8. The shows end with Rogers, Deering, Huer and Twiki eating at Buck's apartment and Rogers is laughing as the frame freezes.<br/><br/>All this aside, it's a good series. Not many dull moments. However, don't watch the episode called "A Blast for Buck", it's just a mixture of various flashbacks from previous episodes, and the real time ending is almost worse than the flashbacks.
- It's hard to believe that the pilot movie "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" was released to theaters in 1979 because it's so cartoony and the effects are downright lame compared to "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," which came out eight months later. Not to mention the original Star Wars Trilogy. Heck, the F/X don't even hold up to The Original Series of Star Trek that ran from 1966-1969. No kidding.<br/><br/>Yet, this doesn't mean that the pilot movie "Awakening" or the series isn't entertaining. It is, but don't expect the maturity or quality of Star Trek, although some episodes come close. Star Trek is dramatic science-fiction whereas Star Wars is a fantasy packaged as science-fiction or "space fantasy." "Buck Roger" — the pilot movie and the series — tries to walk the line between these two and ends up being inferior to both. But, again, this doesn't mean it's not entertaining, particularly for kids or adults who just wanna turn off their brains and have fun.<br/><br/>While most of the stories in series are okay at best, and often lame, the main protagonists and most of the guest stars are outstanding. Gil Gerard in the titular role, for instance, is just as effective as William Shatner as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, maybe even more so, if that were possible. And then there's Erin Gray as Col. Wilma Deering, one of the hottest space babes in the history of film or television. Not to mention, Pamela Hensley has the requisite "looks that kill" as the oversexed antagonist, Ardala (not that she trips my trigger). And then there's the gazillion of female guests throughout the series that are often even more beautiful than the aforementioned two, like Ryma (Brianne Leary) in "Planet of the Slave Girls" or Nyree (Liberty Godshall)in "Planet of the Amazon Women." Needless to say, "Buck Rogers" scores the highest possible points on the female front, particularly the 1st season.<br/><br/>While Thom Christopher doesn't appear in the pilot movie or the 1st season, he's a regular in the 2nd season and a highlight. He had the potential for greatness, like Spock, but it was never fully realized because the series lacked the great writing and rewriting of the creators of Star Trek (e.g. Gene Roddenberry, Dorthy Fontana and Gene Coon). Star Trek alumnus, Barbara Luna, is breathtaking as Hawk's wife, Koori, in two episodes of the 2nd season.<br/><br/>Speaking of the 2nd season, it's more dramatic than the 1st season with a more Trek-ian format and delivery, but it's still unmistakably Buck Rogers. There are less space babes and more attempts at serious space drama. Although it's generally inferior to the 1st season, it's superior in some ways and has its quality episodes, like "Time of the Hawk," "Journey to Oasis," "Mark of the Saurian," "The Hand of Goral" and "The Dorian Secret."<br/><br/>Then there's the curiously phallus-looking Twiki, a somewhat lovable robot who takes a backseat in the 2nd season to a more "Short Circuit"-looking robot (of course that movie didn't come out for another six years).<br/><br/>Buck Rogers (the series) is hard to rate because, on the one hand, the cheese-factor is so high with the comic book tone, (mostly) dubious special effects and banal stories, but the main protagonists and guest stars are outstanding and somehow pull off the often lame material. It's amazing, but true. There's also something to be said for the nostalgic and innocent style of the pilot and series. Nevertheless, I can't in good conscience give "Buck Rogers" a higher rating.<br/><br/>The pilot runs about 89 minutes while the double episodes run 97 minutes and the single-episodes 48 minutes.<br/><br/>GRADE: B- (but a solid "B" for overall entertainment)
