The Year is 1987… when Captain Buck Rogers and his Ranger 3, a space explorer got unexpectedly diverted and Buck was frozen for 5 centuries. This was sci-fi back before it saturated the market. The series’ pilot episode, which was movie length, was given a theatrical release before it began appearing on television, and the film garnered over 21 million dollars in North America alone. While the show only lasted two seasons, they were two very memorable ones, sometimes achieving that deja vu affect. Mostly because to cut costs, some footage and various props were used from creator Glen Larson's previous project, 1978’s Battlestar Galactica. But we’re not here to talk about that Lorne Greene vessel, we’re here discussing Gil Gerard’s Buck Rogers, a cross between Han Solo and James Bond.

I’m your host Nostalgic Nick and If you enjoy our futuristic deep dive, give this episode a thumbs up, and subscribe to the channel for more throwbacks. Now without further ado, the future awaits…
