    Buck Rogers Season 1 or 2?

    With the figures coming out soon and RTV playing this on Saturday nights, I have tried watching some of the 2nd season episodes again and have to say that although the Sci-Fi concepts of some the stories are strong, the production and specific story elements are painful for me to watch. I know some people like the 2nd season more than the first, but I like the "super-spy" B-movie aspect of the first season better. Which do you like?
    It's all good!

    Season-1 for sure.

    The only thing I like about Season-2 is Hawk.
    That's it.

      Season one is sort of like "Intergalactic Matt Helm" and it really works on that level.

      Season Two has a few good episodes and I remember really liking it as a kid but it's too kiddie to be taken seriously and not as much fun as season 1. Gil Gerard kind of looks depressed during the whole ordeal as well.

        Seeing Wilma reduced to an almost space stewardess is kind of depressing too.

        Whenever I watch that season I can't help but think --- WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ?

          I hated Season 2, it just wasn't as good.

            Wow. That's a tough one.

            I have a soft spot for season 2 just because I had such a HUGE crush on Wilma and the short skirts and little white, high heel ankle boots drove me crazy. I also think Hawk is not only the best character in the entire series, but one of the most memorable and iconic characters in all of sci-fi television. However, the actual episodes I have to admit were not as good as the first season. Throw in the fact that Twiiki's voice got even more silly and I HATED Assimov and Chriton. Both were pretty useless characters. (I prefer Dr. Huer myself) The second season had its moments, like "Time of the Hawk" and "Journey to Oasis", which featured the great Mark Lenard as Ambassador Duvoe, but overall, it fails to measure up to season one, creatively.

            C'mon Craig! Let's see those figures, dammit!!!

              I'll never forget the telekinetic midget episode.

                Season 1 for me, more space battles. My favorite episode was the Space Vampire one
                Looking for Infinite Heroes Robin and Catwoman
                And Super Powers Batman

                  Was that the same one where Spock's father can take his head off ?

                  Man, that was a nasty bad story -- and of course it's 2 hours too

                        Well yea, of course

                        Only prob in season 2 you're lucky if you even see Wilma for over 5 minutes per episode.

                        She's mostly just set decoration on shipbound episodes.

                          Early season one for me. Seems towards the end of the first season some of the behind the scenes strife was showing through a bit, and Wilma certainly was getting pushed out of the stories a bit.

                          Season two....Hawk was cool, and it was neat to see Kelso from Star Trek again.....Other than that...peeyuuuu!
