Buck's second season started off really promising with the 2-part episode which introduced Hawk, but then it all went downhill really quick. Even giving Twiki back his proper voice and putting Wilma in spandex again wasn't enough to make some season two episodes watchable.

Buck Rogers was never more than pure escapism. The 1'st season was mostly T&A and the 2nd more a kiddie show.
Like a lot of Space 1970 shows it has not aged well. Nevertheless I keep the entire series and sometimes engage in "Guilty Pleasures" -such as a Buck Rogers or Logan's Run marathon.

I love how how it's a sketch and not a photo... back in the days when network TV was still a 'thing'.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is dedicated to the science fiction films and television series of the 1970s - give or take a few years (say, 1969-1983) - including such nostalgic favorites as Star Wars, Space: 1999, UFO, Space Academy, the original Battlestar Galactica, Jason of Star Command, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Logan's Run and many others.

But be warned: I still love these productions with all the enthusiasm I held for them as a kid, and they will be treated here with affection and respect. If you're looking for someone to snarkily denigrate "old" movies - or like to do that yourself - you've come to the wrong site.

So journey with us back to the days when special effects were created by skillful hands and spaceships were detailed models, when robots were obligatory comedy relief, when square-jawed heroes and cloaked villains battled among the stars -- and the future was fun!

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell (nor even buy, all that often) the memorabilia and merchandise I write about on this blog, nor do I have any idea what value your "collectibles" might have. That's not what this site is about, so please don't ask me.
