Shark Bytes

very dull show Did they bother to look at the scripts before filming?

Man, I just watched the episode where Buck is put up for auction as a manservant-slave, and his man-boob is just hanging there in full view.

The "Searcher" format didn't kill the show...but when they changed Twiki's voice...that was bad.

Even as a kid, I knew the show was doomed because they kept pre-empting it with other stuff and I'd be crushed, having to wait another week for more Erin Gray, inspiration of many a preteen fantasy.

Gil Gerard, as far as I know, did not go deaf unless it was a side effect of his terrible fatness, which to his credit he overcame. Hope he remains healthy.

They are showing the second season on digital channel. The who hawk character was FOR THE BIRDS.

After only 8 shows there was a great shark sighting. In that the entire basis of the show, that Buck Rodgers was sole person from the 20th century in the 25th, was undermided. I think a writers strike prevented show linking season 1 and season 2, leading to the jaring disconect that doomed the show.

I liked the casting for Wilma, Buck & Dr H, but the writing, backgrounds, everything else, turned me off. They could have had a cheeky, science fiction, adult, Alice In Wonderland like show with a sense of wonder, bewilderment, you know? But they completely wasted it.

LMAO! Haven't thought of this how in years. My friends and I used to call it "F*ck Rogers Before the End of The 25th Century" because he always seemed to be desperate to get laid by somebody, anybody in every episode. This, despite the fact that he was supposedly such an intergalactic stud-muffin. Cripes, James Tiberius Kirk had a better track record, by far! Could have been the fact that Gil Gerard was such a homely, hairy, lard tub with a bad haircut that had something to do with it. Not a body that should have ever been in the same universe with form-fitting spandex, let alone wearing it.

OMG, what an incredibly bad show this was.

Is, something, wrong with, the, comma key on, your keyboard. Juan,?

Since not too many of the posters here use other than pseudonomic identifiers on this site, I think it's presuming a little to say that all the responses are motivated by envy, seeing as you don't know with any certainty even what gender the posters are in many cases.

Could be there dander is up not because they're so full of envy, but because they suffer from a little condition known as "good taste". Which neither Buck nor his doxies were exactly emblematic of, but then again, neither was the decade known as the Eighties renowned for that quality, as I recall.

so sad to see the envy of old ,boomer, (before 1960, after #2 WW)girls in present age, time. they were of appearance of much age even in 1970s years, like the guest star girls in giant curtain hair in Buck Rogers. 1970s ,death zone, for ,boomer, girls in hair styles, clothing looks, appearances. they had old appearances even already then. now they attack, attack, attack young people ladies. so sad , the envy. --Juan C

I'm already laughing at the latest trend: Women displaying their forehead by pulling their hair back from it straight down the top of their head like a samurai or something. Looks stupid.

Don't think the Hensley sex-change thing is a rumour. I knew a couple of people who were crew members on the show, and they are certain this was true. Whatever, they did also say s/he was a royal pain in the a** to work with, supposedly believed 'her'self to be some huge star. Wonder whatever happened to Pamela? Not much, apparently, if her later 'career' is any indication.

lol..jealous jealous jealous mrs (miss?) jt !

Hey, Guest, you just didn't get the point. Enough said. Sounds like you chilled one too many times.

Check out Pamela Hensley in a profile shot sometime. Those are transgender boobs fer sure.

whoa! jealousy from the older girls about younger women is brutal! i think he (joe) said that the girls themselves were great. but the hollywood mops on their heads were ugly. chill,,
