    cool story Sandy

    I like both but I guess I would have to lean more towrds Buck Rogers, because of the Gil Gerard show. it's just a guilty pleasure

        The thing about the Flash Gordon 1980 movie, Sam Jones has to be the second most worst actor EVER after OJ Simpson.

        An untrained monkey could have played his part in Flash.

              I like the Flash soundtrack, but like Buck Rogers more.

                I'm going with Flash because of the cool villians, but I would like to seen Gil play Flash

                  of the mego era representations I prefer the 1st season of Buck over the capyniess of Sam Jones Flash

                  overall I am a bigger Flash gordon fan

                    I like them both, From the Crabbe serials to Jones and Gerard. I thoroughly enjoyed Buster Crabbe as Brig. Gordon.
                    Son, I've been doing this since before you were born.
                    You think so?
                    I know so.
                    Hawk was a neat add on. I hated that they didn't have Mel Blanc as Twili when season 2 started and Crichton was annoying as hell. Then again I never believed that Sam J Jones was the BEST actor who tried out for Flash. So good that they decided to keep him even though he couldn't wear the blue contacts that would have helped make him Flash Gordon.
                    All said and done, I own both of the latter incarnations on DVD and would kill to own 1:6 versions in my collection.
                    Bugler, sound the advance.

                      I like both - but in different versions. The original Raymond Flash Gordon comic strip is one of the most beautiful, elegant examples of comic art there is, IMO. But I grew up watching Gil Gerard on TV - my only real exposure to Buck Rogers - so I have a soft spot for that as well.

                      BTW, what's a Mego resurgence without Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon?

                        As for classic serials, greatly preferred Flash Gordon over Buck Rogers.

                          Buck Rogers was one of my favorite shows as a kid, so I have to go with Buck.

                            Serials: Flash over buck
                            80's: Buck over Flash film

                            But... Filmation Flash Gordon is a top contender in my book, too. (at least the first season)
                            It's all good!
