Editorial Reviews
Buck Rogers, the original space-opera superstar, first appeared in a magazine story by Philip Nowlan in 1928 and was subsequently featured in comic strips, radio dramas, movie serials, and even a short-lived 1951 television series. So when the phenomenal success of Star Wars spurred interest in all things science fiction, producer Glen A. Larson had the presence of mind to revive Rogers, scoring a minor big-screen hit that NBC quickly signed up as a series in 1979. Larson revamped Buck Rogers considerably, but he retained the basic premise: After spending 500 years in a state of suspended animation, Buck awakens to find Earth overrun by alien invaders and human renegades. He joins a confederation of freedom-loving rebels and brings his not-inconsiderable skills to the ongoing struggle against the forces of evil. Brawny Gil Gerard played Buck with the appropriate panache, and Erin Gray cuts a fetching, formidable presence as Col. Wilma Deering. The strip's primary villain, "Killer" Kane, was played at first by Henry Silva and later in the series by Michael Ansara, with Pamela Hensley slinking through several episodes as the seductively sinister Princess Ardala. Larson added alleged comedy relief in the form of a wisecracking, diminutive robot called Twiki -- given voice by Mel Blanc in most of the run. Some 37 episodes aired between 1979 and 1981, initially maintaining a delicate balance between straitlaced futuristic adventure and lighthearted whimsy, but later tending more toward cheeky, self-referential comedy. Production values are above average for the time; and the casting was spot-on, with many familiar faces from the episodic-television acting pool of the period. Buster Crabbe, who played Buck in a 1939 cliff-hanger serial, guest-stars in one of the early two-part episode, "Planet of the Slave Girls," along with Roddy McDowall and Jack Palance. While not as influential as the various Star Trek series, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century made a significant contribution to sci-fi TV, and it remains a nostalgic favorite of the disco generation.
