Galactica got really shit when the Super Scouts rocked up. Its Buck all the way for me. Twiiki plus all the plots revolving around something that only Buck could dodespite it being the futur (usually using a TV remote control or fixing the fanbelt of a car with Wilma's tights).

1. Buck teaching the future people how to boogie
2. Buck teaching the future people how to tackle people in American football.
3. "Hiya Buck!"
eh... that's it really.

Lyrics to Suspension Themevocals by Kipp Lennon
"Far beyond the world I've known,Far beyond my timeWhat am I, who am I, what will I be?Where am I going, and what will I see?Searching my mind for some truth to revealWhat parts are fantasy, what memories real?Long before this life of mine,Long before this timeWhat was there, who cared to make it begin?Is it forever, or will it all end?Searching my past for things that I've seenIs it my life, or something I've dreamed?Far beyond this world I've known,Far beyond my timeWhat kind of world am I going to find?Will it be real, or just all in my mind?What am I, who am I, what will I be?Where am I going, and what will I see?"
(So any guesses as to how they would do Buck Rogers over again a la the Galactica revamp?)

I always liked the sense of humour in BR. Old school BG was so po faced by comparison. Apart from some of Starbuck's bits and the throwaway "What's a centon?" line.

series 2 of buck rogers is like eye-searingly terrible.

It's like every line of dialogue from that series has "LOL" appended to it, apart from all Hawk's lines.

Did anyone ever see the Gil Gerard special that was on Discovery Health or a similar channel? He had to get a gastric bypass and was a depressed, socially withdrawn dude. It was one of the most depressing things I've seen.

What the
Buck Rogers Burger Station where you could dine in the 25th century on Queen St. The TV show themed restaurant opened in 1982, selling burgers in a virtual spaceship setting. It ran until 1984 with costumed staff working alongside aliens and robots with broad Glaswegian accents. pic.twitter.com/CrUwIHYXpT— Glasgowist (@HelloGlasgowist) April 6, 2021

The guy who played Twiki on Buck Rogers, Felix Silla, just passed away at the age of 84. He also played Cousin Itt on The Addams Family.
