Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: Season 1

good remake of old classic. 1st season very good but as series progressed show got weaker

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife, and we both loved it. Buck Rogers season one is a classic. Sort of a sci-fi James Bond with action, humor, beautiful women, celebrity guest stars, (Markie Post, Gary Coleman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Frank Gorshin, and Jack Palance all guest star), and a tiny little robot! Also a lot of kicking. A Lot.This DVD features the original Buck Rogers theatrical film that was edited into the pilot episode as well!I highly recommend it!

This show premiered in 1979 and at the time I was away at school and did not have a chance to watch it.I liked the show. It was fun to watch and the writing was generally very good. Our hero, Buck Rogers was often surrounded by beautiful women. In the opening episodes and in 3 others, Buck is surrounded by Pamela Hensley who plays Princess Ardala & Erin Gray who plays Colonel Wilma Deering throughout the series. The had special effects, action, intrigue, mysteries and romance, and there was a lot of comedy sprinkled throughout the season.Some of the women who played around Buck & the episodes in which the appeared are:Brianne Leary - Ryma (Planet of the Slave Girls)Karen Carlson - Stella Warden (Planet of the Slave Girls)Ana Alicia - Felina Redding (Vegas in Space)Juanin Clay - Major Marla Landers (Vegas in Space/A Blast for Buck)Pamela Susan Shoop - Tangie (Vegas in Space)Markie Post - Joella Cameron (The Plot to Kill a City)Nancy DeCarl - Sherese (The Plot to Kill a City)Jamie Lee Curtis - Jen Burton (Unchained Woman)Tara Buckman - Majel (Unchained Woman)Ann Dusenberry - Ariela Dyne (Planet of the Amazon Women)Melody Rogers - Lieutenant Dia Cyrton (Cosmic Whiz Kid)Trisha Noble - Sabrina (Cruise Ship to the Stars)Kimberly Beck - Alison Michaels (Cruise Ship to the Stars)Morgan Brttany - Raylyn Derren (Happy Birthday, Buck)Anne-Marie Martin - Stella Breed (Twiki Is Missing)Judith Chapman - Lara Teasian (Olympiad)Anne Lockhart - Jennifer (A Dream of Jennifer)Mary Woronov - Nola (A Dream of Jennifer)Cynthia Leake - Elane (Space Rockers)Judy Landers - Joanna (Space Rockers)Heidi Bohay - Maya (Buck’s Duel to the Death)Elizabeth Stack - Vionne (Buck’s Dual to the Death)Other stars (from the Batman TV show) included:Frank Gorshin - Seton KelloggCesar Romero - Amos ArmatJulie Newmar - ZarinaAnd other notable stars were:Peter Graves - Major Noah CooperRoddy McDowel - Governor SaroyanRay Walston - Roderick ZaleJerry Orbach - Lars MangrosAgain this was a very fun show to watch. Can't wait to watch Season 2

BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY could easily have become dated camp, by now (Rogers' disastrous space tour was supposed to have occurred in 1987...did we miss it?), but there's such a sense of joy and humor to the production that it actually is more fun to watch today than when it was briefly released, theatrically, in 1979.A large measure of this is due to Gil Gerard, as Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers, who gives an enthusiastic, likable performance. Some of his dialog is ripe with sexual innuendo, particularly in his scenes with Erin Gray, as the beautiful, if a bit wooden, professional soldier, Wilma Deering, but his rakish charm (and an occasional wink!) keeps the one-liners from sliding into bad taste. The other female lead, Pamela Hensley, as a bikini-clad evil Princess, would do Mae West proud with her lusty vampiness. Her scenes with Gerard, as she eyes him as an evening's 'entertainment', are a delight. (And in the "Is this a coincidence?" department...Her character is named Ardala, and wears a horned headpiece...Could George Lucas have been influenced by her when he created Natalie Portman's Princess Amidala in STAR WARS: EPISODE ONE - THE PHANTOM MENACE?) The other major male roles are filled by Henry Silva, as Ardala's superbly evil partner, Kane, and Tim O'Connor, wise and sympathetic, as Earth scientist Dr. Huer. Deserving recognition, as well, is Duke Butler, who, as Ardala's eunuch bodyguard, Tigerman, should find another line of work, considering how he fared against Rogers!Ignore Twiki, the low-tech R2D2 rip-off (Mel Blanc voices him, with dialog lapsing into disco-era cliches and bad sexual puns), and Dr. Theopoulis (the talking Frisbee...well, that's what he looks like!), and concentrate on the decent FX and Gil Gerard's charismatic performance...and I think you'll find BUCK ROGERS a winner!

The show was great even though it was before my time

Ottimo cofanetto, scarno come contenuti extra, ma essenziale.Da quanto ho capito il primo episodio "Awakening", oltre ad avere la sigla diversa, dovrebbe essere il film (pilot) della serie, proiettato nei cinema, ma nella versione cinrematografica, non nella versione riveduta per la TV.Segnalo che i sottotitoli sono solo in lingua inglese e non olandese come scritto sulla confezione. (Almeno nella copia in mio possesso).
