    I have the first season on DVD and loved the show (and the toys) as a kid.

      This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid and I still enjoy it. I have the series on DVD and had a few small Mego figures.

        Gil Gerard (Buck), Erin Grey (Wilma), and Felix Silla (Twiki) all have birthdays this month. It was cosmic casting that was meant to be.

        There are about 7 or 8 shows that I will return to regularly, and Buck Rogers makes the list.

          Buck made a much greater impression on me than Battlestar Galactica, for whatever reason. Actually, It might have been the time slot...

            Anyone know if Buck is available on any of the streaming services?

                Still one of my all time favourite TV shows.
                Have both seasons on DVD and also the Australian Blu-ray set, and still have some of the toys from when I was a kid.

                    You might have a chance with Cozi since they run a lot of tv shows made by Universal Studios who also did Buck Rogers.

                      great series. I got the full series on DVD for something like $20 a few years ago

                        I loved the first season but season two was a hit and miss --- mostly miss

                          agreed, but there were some good moments in season 2 and I liked Hawk even though looking at it now he is kind of a goofy character

                            Actually, I think Hawk (and his ship) was the only thing I liked about season-2

                            All the other changes were dreadful

                            As for episodes themselves, for me personally a few outstanding good ones are ...

                            Mark of the Saurian... Buck is only person who can see Lizard baddies (outright ripoff of Space 1999's Bringers of Wonder but I can live with that)

                            ... Testimony of a Traitor ---- decent origin story episode

                            Just about everything else is a steaming pile, imo
