I received a 2,500 dollar scholarship from Times Mirror Corp for 30 seconds PSA featured Twiki and Dr Theo in 1984
Wow!! That scene with Pamela Hensley is amazing. She was such a great actress. So beautiful 😍 And Gil Gerad was fantastic playing against her. They should have made a "MIRROR MIRROR" episode where they eventually get together. We absolutely love ❤️ your channel 😊channel 😊
Absolutely gorgeous Erin grey. Pamela Hensley was beautiful too, in a naughty way. Loved the women in this series
Galactica & Buck Rogers by Glen A. Larson. Studio 54 set in space.
24:59- Juanin was my best friend's step mom. She was really disappointed about not getting that gig. Classy lady, a bit of a kook, too. She loved puns and had a big infectious laugh. Passed away really young. :(
You were very lucky to have known her. She was amazing, and I would have loved her in that part.
@@emperordalek the snub may have also been due to her working in daytime soaps on another network. I don't think it was particularly easy to transition timeslots & genres in that era, esp. for women.
I do remember that Vampire episode very well. I was 7 years old back in 1979 and was an instant fan of the show Buck Rogers that particular episode scared because of that actor playing that vampire was very looking and I couldn’t sleep at nights as a kid. Enjoying your TH-cam videos of the 70’s.
Thank you for the feedback!
@@emperordalek you’re welcome
Buck Rogers is one of my favorite series, Erin Grey was a cherry on top of a great sundae! I still the second series would have let the Dwarfs continue their "off thinking" of Wilma!
As a kid, i did love Twiki, but now he is just a source of comedy! I also wasn't a fan of Pamela Hensley as a kid, but as an adult, i i love her!
Buster Crabbe as Commander Gordon! Loved that but we also had Rhoda's husband Joe as Buck's rival in Slave Girls. I swear that Star Wars Cantobite Casino Security look like they stole from Buck Rogers wardrobe department.
The dubbing at 32:17 had me laughing my a** off. Someone needs to do the whole series this way.
Thank you! I'm wishing now I hadn't beeped anything out!
@@emperordalek did you have sexual erotic dreams about buck...the same way I did....I wanted him so bad.
@@emperordalekagreed😊
Loved the commentary. Laughed so much!
Pamela Hensley could have conquered my Galaxy anytime!
WE❤LOVE ❤YOUR ❤CHANNEL 😊 CAN'T GET ENOUGH!! THANK YOU ❤😊
I enjoyed the series when it aired and still do as a rewatch occasionally today as I had purchased the series on DVD.
The intro is epic. I don't know why they changed the narrator in later episodes.
It's a fun show, and Gil as Captain Buck Rogers is a likable character.
I wish it was a bit more serious and didn't care as much for the second season, although it has its good episodes. I hated the dumbing-down of Wilma Deering character.
Also, I didn't realize some of the parts were dubbed.
Drink Up as many times as you stump into shirtless Gin Gerard in ANY Buck Roger's episode!! 😂😂
I'd be drunk as a skunk by the end of most episodes! That's worse than saying take a shot whenever Twiki says "Bi-dee-bi-dee-bi-dee!" :D
HAHAHAHA!!
Thank you for responding, man!
Another kid from the late 70's and ALL the 80's HERE!!@@emperordalek
The plot to kill a city was my favorite episode. Loved the legion of death.
Just discovered this channel watched this and subbed 👍
This series gave Doctor Who a kicking ratings wise here in the UK in 1980!!!
Sadly, just about everything gave that show a kick in the ratings during the 1980s. :(
Funny you should mention DOCTOR WHO, though, as I will be doing my next video on the Jon Pertwee era! Thank you for the sub!
@@emperordalek I was born during his first season so I automatically have a soft spot for his era the 70s was the Golden years for consistent good stories and two fantastic Doctors
With respect, John Carter of Mars made his debut in the pulps a good ten years or more before Buck Rogers.
I loved this show and still do. The production quality stayed the entire two seasons and there is a lot to enjoy. I think you were a bit harsh on the show. I guve it a 3.5 out of 5. A 2.5 is like a failing grade. This show was very entertaining and is still watchable today.
Gil Gerrard and Erin Grey 😍😍😍
Which way to turn, good grief 😊
Colonel Wilma Deering, not commander
Really enjoying your reviews of 70s series. I have wondered if my childhood TV memories would hold up to scrutiny in adulthood - maybe not so much. 🤨
A word about clip shows. Before many people had a way of recording shows and way before on demand streaming, clip shows were often shown once a season, letting viewers see something of episodes they might have missed.
I even recall a very popular show comprising of clips from different shows which people wrote in (actual letters!) requesting.
Oh, now that's fascinating! Any idea which show it might have been?
@@emperordalek I am in New Zealand. I think the clip show, from the early 80s, was called "I like that one 2." We only 2 channels back then and I can't recall if it was on Channel One or Channel 2.
I watched all these shows as a kid! Love your reviews of these!! Ha
I think this was the TV show that confirmed I’m Bisexual. 😂😂😂😂
Love this show it’s a classic😊
May Jack Palance rest in peace, he deserved much better than BR, is it me, or does he look like a glam rocker?
I still think you should review season two just because it’s part of a show that started in the 70s and it would seem like you would want to complete the entire show. Yes, I have seen season two. But they do to Wilma and that season is a crime. Even though season2 as a dumpster fire, I still think it deserves a review just to finish off the show. I’m just saying I think.
@5:30 - based on that premise, you could review 1980's 'The Martian Chronicles' because the series was produced in the late 70's. Same thing with 'The Shining' - though I won't hold you to it - it's been done to death...
...at least _The Martian Chronicles_ is sci-fi!
I've actually thought about doing that miniseries, though it would be really difficult to do a spoiler free review! Still, it's definitely something that I remember quite vividly, and if the interest is there, I will definitely do it!
@@emperordalek Yes, considering the best Martian scene is the last one delivering the Chronicles main message, just don't worry about spoilers - cheesy as the rest of the series can be, that message is important.
Space Vampire creeped me out as well!
26:20 best episode, easily
30:01 you're not thr only one 😁
31:39 amazingly good effect
31:12 ROTFL!!!!!!!!
32:45 it's Brian the Brain's stunt double! (AND easy inspiration for Futurama!)
35:19 yeah, that scene redefines "padding"... and, sadly, that episode got me into Three Dog Night! 😅
37:26 more please!
37:39 dang!
38:14 nailed it perfectly, as if you haven't nailed it perfectly already and you have... but i do have to have a teensy nip of something 30-proof before attempting to watch Ardala's episodes.
39:38 worst yet best double entendres ever 😂😂😂😂😂
40:43 yeah, what's down with the bad nad wig. Very atypical of Buck...
...zygot(e)s... never mind planet Fistfula from the otherwise good Jack Palance episode, Buck Rogers has more double entendres than any show could ever manage to do 🫡.
Quick question: Ardala vs Catwoman? (I'd go with Catwoman, but I'd be thinking of the Professor)
46:55 it's the other gift that keeps on giving! 😂 his trio just got out of Studio 54 too...
Olympiad - is that the one where they space slalom through Doctor Who credits sequences? 😁
Jennifer episode was season 1's last gasps at glory...
Space Rockers... more proof that Buck needed to be in a Night Court crossover... I loved the song Andromeda did, until I found out it was just the best bits of a of-the-time disco song... which was not too much a letdown, but is really thought the show was trying to make more an effort at futurism. Thst music pretty much wrecked that sumb belief.
53:49 😂😂😂😂😂 (evwnnmore for the Buck and Tweaky captions)
I forgot about the parallel universe story. Ugh. Too cheesy... ans who needs internal logic when cheap thrills are to be had! But I'll spare my whine about my ex, LOL!
I do hope you cover season 2 one day... will take a peek as I'm still new here...
For a show that was pretty awful (LoL), we old sci-fi fans sure keep talking about "Buck Rogers". Hmm.....? 😉
It makes sense, though, since we didn't think it was awful when we were kids! That's part of the reason I started this channel, to go back and see if the things we loved so much actually do hold up when you look at them as an adult. Unfortunately, this show doesn't really do that all that well. Thanks for the feedback!
Easy on my psychedelic Gold Key collection! 😂🎉
Great channel ya got here!
Ardarla was HOT!!!
Season 2 aboard the Enterprise isn't as good. Oh Whoops! Searcher. My bad lol
I dont blame you for not doing a review of season 2 cause it was so bad. But i hope eventually you will do a review of season 2 of buck rogers so you can explain why it was so bad.
Hi. I am a brand new subscriber! I love what you are doing. You are showcasing all of the shows that I watched growing up. In the case of buck Rogers in the 25th century was that the pilot which was a two hour pilot, was awesome. The series itself did not match up to the pilot but I loved Erin Gray and and Pamela Hensley!! Also Dr. Theopolis and Tweaky! Biggy biggy… I don’t really agree with your assessment of Dr. Theopolis and tweaky… They were awesome!
Funny, my first crush was Lee Majors as Heath Barkley in The Big Valley and then it really solidified when he was the $6 million man. However, I also had a crush on Gil Gérard. They were similar types. Gil looks great in the uniform…
I've always enjoyed this show. Sure, it's cheesy and very silly at times. I do agree with Gil Gerard that they should have made it much more serious. The show would have been better for sure. But it is what it is. Just a silly space romp that cracks me up. There's a lot of shows much worse than this. I could also do without the Gary Coleman episodes. But I love to see guys like Jack Palance and William Smith as they always played bad guys so well. It looks like at least one episode was skipped though. I can't remember the name of it but it had Roddy McDowall(another iconic actor) in it. And that Vegas in Space episode had Richard Lynch as the bad guy. So many iconic actors! If there's one show that deserves a reboot, it would be this one.
And the Riddler!!
I LOVED season one. They were throwing tons of camp and sex and glamour. NBC was last in the ratings and tanking hard. I heard in many articles how Gil was really bothered by the silliness and pitch temper tantrums over the scripts. Pamela Hensley was/is ICONIC. Biggest mistake of season two was getting rid of her character entirely. In fact, season 2 for me is unwatchable. I still haven't seen every episode. I do share in the dislike of Twiki.
I loved this series when I was a kid,and I still do. Wished it went on for a lot longer than it did. Stupid actor's strike.
You can also do war of gargantuas godzilla and gamera and other toho movies ultra man space giants and ultra seven and spectraman and back to these again
Brother I had to check your channel because you could be twins with my bro in Iron River Michigan. Have a brother there?
Hey emperor dalek, I'm really digging the reviews! It would great to see you tackle Columbo in the future, which is my fave 70s crime drama. Or even the Planet of the Apes tv show, Logan's Run and Shaft.
Good suggestions, especially PLANET OF THE APES and LOGAN'S RUN! Thanks for the comment!
Yes, Logan's Run & Planet of the Apes TV series'!
I had to give up watching this after the umpteenth “joke”/complaint about how a 1979 show fails to conform to your far more virtuous modern sense of how women should be portrayed and how you disapprove of a male hero drugging a woman not to do her any harm, but to save lives. You know the show has infinitely more scenes of Buck shooting people to save lives- why not repeatedly “jokingly” tell us how uncomfortable that makes you given school shootings? Ugh.
If they had made it serious it would have been way better
I completely agree! I loved this show as a kid, but as an adult, I can barely stomach it. Thanks for watching!
I find this series un-rewatchable as an adult. I do still love the Star Fighter/Thunder Fighter, which was Ralph McQuarrie's original design for the original BSG Colonial Viper.
I am not eager to get this back into my collection. One of the worst shows I ever saw. But for Wilma Deering....
