In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers is caught in a freak accident in deep space, causing his space shuttle Ranger 3 to be blown into an orbit that returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. The combination of gases that freezes him comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for preservation, and his rescuers are able to revive him. In 2491, when Buck awakens from the freezing, Earth is recovering from a nuclear war and is coming under hostile attack by the Draconian Empire. In the second season, Buck has been assigned aboard the Searcher, a starship exploring the unknown reaches of space while searching for former Earth colonies that are scattered across the galaxy.
A 20th century astronaut emerges out of 500 years of suspended animation into a future time to become Earth's greatest hero.
Ahhh
The late 70's. It was such a carefree time in many ways. The sexual revolution had occurred and AIDS wasn't on anyone's radar screen. TV entertainment leaned towards the undemanding to say the least. Shows like "Charlie's Angels", "The Love Boat", "Wonder Woman" and "CHiP's" were popular. Here was "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", TV's answer to "Star Wars" and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", but with so little of the style and imagination that those and other films and TV shows had provided previously. Based on a decades old character, which had been the focus of novellas, comic strips, radio programs and a movie serial, he was dusted off and given a fresh coat of spandex for the bubble gum sci-fi set. Handsome, hirsute Gerard was given the title role of an astronaut flung (frozen) 500 years into the future only to find Earth partially decimated and run by benevolent computers. Helping to make him comfortable in his new environment were government official O'Connor and attractive military colonel Gray, as well as the diminutive robot Twiki, voiced by Blanc. The first season of the show was endearingly campy with a plethora of known guest stars from the earlier days of Hollywood (Cesar Romero, Roddy McDowall, Vera Miles, Elizabeth Allen and even the original Buck, Buster Crabbe!) as well as up and coming folks such as Jamie Lee Curtis. The stories were silly, but the show was delightful, thanks to the tacky, abbreviated, satin costumes and the shiny sets. Another plus was the ultra-sexy presence of Hensley as a devious princess, who showed up several times throughout the season. Continuity was never a strong suit, nor was depth in scripting, but the show could be counted on for an hour of fun and modest entertainment. Gray was a resourceful, appealing, attractive woman of authority and Gerard was a brave, old-fashioned hero who almost bothered to button up his shirts and who was poured into his clingy pants. While it was disconcerting, especially at first, to hear Blanc's nicotine-tinged growl coming out of the little robot (with Silla inside), he provided gentle comic relief at times and could be an amusing counterpart to Gerard. After the first season, amidst a crippling actor's strike which wreaked havoc on many a show, everything was re-tooled and not in a good way. Suddenly, with little or no explanation, Gerard, Gray and Silla were on board a spaceship called Searcher and were joined by fussy Admiral Garner, wizened, old historian Hyde-White and the stern, mysterious Christopher, playing a character of ornithological descent named Hawk. A horrendously pompous and condescending robot character named Crichton was added, making for a crowded landscape in the smallish vessel. Aside from losing all plot lines involving Earth, the costumes were altered as well, insultingly rendering Gray to look like a Playboy Cruise Director and most everyone else like Good Spaceship Lollipop officers. Gerard's increasing girth led him to wear ugly jackets over his jumpsuits in a vain attempt to mask his oncoming obesity. As if that weren't bad enough, the quality of the scripts went straight into the toilet with many of the second season episodes being nearly unwatchable. The caliber of guest stars dropped off significantly, too, with practically no notable names showing up to speak of. If it was discordant to have Blanc do the voice of Twiki, it was doubly so to suddenly have a different voice-actor playing him for the second season. Wisely, Blanc was reinstated before long. Hensley was never utilized again after the first season finale, another grave error. Joining other series that underwent drastic changes in their second season only to be swiftly cancelled, this one at least has the lengthier first season to still recommend it as light entertainment. Look fast in the credits of the pilot film for LeeAnn Hunley as a sultry, silver-clad vamp. Haysbert appears a few times in season two as a communications officer.
It's hard to believe that the pilot movie "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" was released to theaters in 1979 because it's so cartoony and the effects are downright lame compared to "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," which came out eight months later. Not to mention the original Star Wars Trilogy. Heck, the F/X don't even hold up to The Original Series of Star Trek that ran from 1966-1969. No kidding.
Yet, this doesn't mean that the pilot movie "Awakening" or the series isn't entertaining. It is, but don't expect the maturity or quality of Star Trek, although some episodes come close. Star Trek is dramatic science-fiction whereas Star Wars is a fantasy packaged as science-fiction or "space fantasy." "Buck Roger" — the pilot movie and the series — tries to walk the line between these two and ends up being inferior to both. But, again, this doesn't mean it's not entertaining, particularly for kids or adults who just wanna turn off their brains and have fun.
While most of the stories in series are okay at best, and often lame, the main protagonists and most of the guest stars are outstanding. Gil Gerard in the titular role, for instance, is just as effective as William Shatner as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, maybe even more so, if that were possible. And then there's Erin Gray as Col. Wilma Deering, one of the hottest space babes in the history of film or television. Not to mention, Pamela Hensley has the requisite "looks that kill" as the oversexed antagonist, Ardala (not that she trips my trigger). And then there's the gazillion of female guests throughout the series that are often even more beautiful than the aforementioned two, like Ryma (Brianne Leary) in "Planet of the Slave Girls" or Nyree (Liberty Godshall)in "Planet of the Amazon Women." Needless to say, "Buck Rogers" scores the highest possible points on the female front, particularly the 1st season.
While Thom Christopher doesn't appear in the pilot movie or the 1st season, he's a regular in the 2nd season and a highlight. He had the potential for greatness, like Spock, but it was never fully realized because the series lacked the great writing and rewriting of the creators of Star Trek (e.g. Gene Roddenberry, Dorthy Fontana and Gene Coon). Star Trek alumnus, Barbara Luna, is breathtaking as Hawk's wife, Koori, in two episodes of the 2nd season.
Speaking of the 2nd season, it's more dramatic than the 1st season with a more Trek-ian format and delivery, but it's still unmistakably Buck Rogers. There are less space babes and more attempts at serious space drama. Although it's generally inferior to the 1st season, it's superior in some ways and has its quality episodes, like "Time of the Hawk," "Journey to Oasis," "Mark of the Saurian," "The Hand of Goral" and "The Dorian Secret."
Then there's the curiously phallus-looking Twiki, a somewhat lovable robot who takes a backseat in the 2nd season to a more "Short Circuit"-looking robot (of course that movie didn't come out for another six years).
Buck Rogers (the series) is hard to rate because, on the one hand, the cheese-factor is so high with the comic book tone, (mostly) dubious special effects and banal stories, but the main protagonists and guest stars are outstanding and somehow pull off the often lame material. It's amazing, but true. There's also something to be said for the nostalgic and innocent style of the pilot and series. Nevertheless, I can't in good conscience give "Buck Rogers" a higher rating.
The pilot runs about 89 minutes while the double episodes run 97 minutes and the single-episodes 48 minutes.
GRADE: B- (but a solid "B" for overall entertainment)
