The series struggled through an awkward first season, with routine plots elevated by decent special effects and noteworthy guest stars including Jamie Lee Curtis, ill-fated Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten (appearing, with her voice dubbed over, less than a year before her tragic murder), Batman alumnus Julie Newmar, Buster Crabbe (veteran of vintage Buck Rogers movie serials), and several others in a show that favored vamps and vixens over credible science fiction. A full-scale overhaul resulted in a disastrous second season, but devoted fans still gravitate to Hawk (Thom Christopher), the charismatic alien "birdman" who was introduced with new characters and a new, space-faring search for lost tribes from Earth (with echoes of Larson's own Battlestar Galactica). Behind-the-scenes squabbles continued, and by mid-season of 1981, NBC pulled the plug on a breezy, still-engaging series that suffered from uneasy chemistry and never realized its full potential. Existing somewhere between Galactica and Lost in Space in the TV sci-fi food chain, this Buck--with a dearth of DVD extras--now functions as a cheesy stroll down memory lane. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - The Complete Series
"welcome capt. rogers" a blast from the past i spent every thursday night from 7:00 to 8:00 o'clock watching the far out action of "buck rogers" and lusting after erin gray when i was 12. and while the show is cheesey camp i found when i got this it still is a lot of fun. for sure no deep meaning here just goofy sci-fi fun. the first season is still the best and had some great guest stars, but some of the stories were lame. season two they revamped the show tring to boost the ratings and made a royal mess of it. i'm one of the few who didn't care for the hawk character. they used him to good efect in the second season opener but then just never did anything else with him. the stories became even more child like and mid-season n.b.c. pulled the plug on the show. my two boy have watched this with me and the love it. the cloths are a bit scanty, but it is kid friendly and that makes it an even better buy. blast off with buck.
Wilma,Wilma,Wilma!
Wow! Erin Gray is even hotter than I remember as a 10 yr old kid watching this series while it originally aired in the early 80's. Buck is still the galactic pimp 2nd place only to Captain Kirk and still as witty as I remember him back then.

>But again the real allure of the show is the sexy Col Deering. Not only does she make knees weak while prancing around in her tight form fitting spandex, she is also a butt kicking, judo flipping femme fatale! Yes, it is probably safe to say, this is Erin Gray's best performance and will always be remembered as one of the most beautiful woman to ever live in my book!
<
>On that note, this DVD series is a must have for everyone who wants to relive their childhood and drool over Wilma Deering again and again.
