I enjoyed this show as a 19 to 21 year old college kid. Enjoyed Capt Rogers and Loved Wilma Deering-She was nice to look at!! Twiki was very funny and hip in his own way. Sometimes I felt sorry for Buck to be separated from the world he knew. Thanks that you allow me to watch it again and remember my youth!!
When I was young, I use to watch Buck Rogers in the evening time. What a good time it was, no such thing as swearing on TV shows during this time period..
Thank you for sharing this.I grew up overseas on a military base watching this great tv series.This is one of those i remember the most.Everyone did great in this show.
As a little girl, I enjoyed all the shows that were supposed to be geared towards boys...Buck Rogers, Galactica, A-Team, Knight Rider, Six Million Dollar Man, etc. I LOVED THEM!!!! Also, even though Erin Grey was/is great, I thought Pamela Hensley was the sexiest woman ever back then (before I even really knew what sexy was) and wanted so bad to look like that!
Erin Gray will be coming to a convention in Hawaii... What makes her not only still lovely, but still even greater knowing she was born in the Aloha State! Love Col. Wilma Deering!
Michael Ansara also played " Kang ", a Klingon commander, in original Star Trek " Day of the Dove " & he played " Elric ", a Technomage, on an episode of Babylon 5. The " Matt Huston " series was the last series I recall Pamela Hensley being in. Erin Gray has done at least 1 made for Sci - Fi / Syfy movie.
I Stood next to Tim O'Connor at Laguardia Airport once in 1996 or 1997. He saw i noticed him. So he kept turning away for privacy. He was one of the first celebrities I ever saw close up. His not being in Season 2 of Buck Rogers weakened the Show.
I have a copy of the original Buck Rogers novel: "Armageddon 2419 A.D." by Philip Francis Nowlan. In Wilma was brunette, not blonde. There was also a red-headed lady.
Erin Gray was recently seen in an episode of the RUclips ST fan series Star Trek Continues (ep.07 "EMBRACING THE WINDS.") She played a Starfleet admiral.
I love all this 70s tv shows and I think the U.S government most declare them culture patrimony and don't let greed companies still charged for seeing them for future generations.
Nothing on henry silva who played Kane in the motion picture version of this show? This was a motion picture before tv show. And if look at the awakening episodes Michael Ansara does not appear in those episodes. They were taken from the movie.
Buck Rogers could have been better. Some stories were weak...other were gimmicks. Gil Gerard complained not enough 'post-apocalypse' stories. Any season 2 'think points' made some interesting dialogue... but rarely flowed into a story. Drama and conflict needed to be more cemented to our situations... good but rare. This was possible, but it didn't emerge because of factors beyond the production core. What makes a good sci-fi? Good Science meets good fiction. That was a quote from Michael Crichton.
Nice video but there is one error. 'Kane" was not played by Michael Ansara. It was played by Henry Silva. It was Henry (before)photo that was used in this video and then Michael Ansara's photo was shown. However both actors did appear in the series.
When you present the photograph of the character KANE, you show the photo of Henry DeSilva, but go on to describe Michael Ansara, who also portrayed KANE. DeSilva deserves some credit for being a menacing presence to Buck and Wilma and Earth.
erin gray ... omfgg... how gorgeous was she.... sum lucky bastard is her husband... i aint jealous... loooooooooool... yeah right.... lucky bastard... x
Amazing how the years have been terrible for certain artists, for example, Gil. The Erin course that would change over time, but note that she is more conserved .
who gives a shit, where are the episodes? these things are over 30 years old and they want to charge us to see them? gone are the good old days of turning on the tv and seeing these things for free, or going to You Tube or Hulu to see them for free. Now if you want to see an old TV show it costs $4 an episode on line...WTF!!!! Greedy bastards.
Should be. But never underestimate how *greedy* some tv networks and studios are. Even though they already made billions from their old shows they won't mind squeezing a million or two from people today. Heck, they make a small fortune releasing cult classic tv shows on dvd or bluray.
RIP Michael Ansara. Fine actor. However in the film/pilot Kane was played by Henry Silva.. that is the photo also shown on here... It's Henry Silva. Credit where credit is due..
The best episodes were on Future Earth; When they started the whole space exploration shtick I think the quality went down. Good, campy Sci-Fi fun for my early teen years in the 1980s.....Erin Gray was recently a guest star on Vic Mignogna's Star Trek Continues fan project, where she plays a Starfleet Commodore.
for weekly TV series of the 80s i agree Erin was the hottest but there wasnt much competition; but if you put her up against 70s sci-fi Bionic Woman, Isis & Wonder Woman sorry she's definitely behind Joanna Cameron & Lynda Carter & i'd say a tossup with Lindsay Wagner(keep in mind for majority of the shows Lindsay was very modestly dressed but check her out in the few shows she got to show off her body). If we then compare her to actresses who were in a motion picture she falls behind Ornella Muti, Sean Young, Geena Davis, Daryl Hannah, Francesca Annis, etc
I agree...she was the most beautiful sci-fi female creature of the 80s
Erin Gray came so close to playing Capt Janeway on Star Trek Voyager she was 3rd on the list behind Kate Mulgrew.
Wonderful nostalgic trip down memory lane.....Good days

+lesley lawrence agg?
Erin Grey is still a beautiful lady.
+greene1100 I watched this show overseas as well. Always looked forward to episodes featuring Pamela Hensley as Princess Ardala.
John Buffington She is still gorgeous.Tough choice between both.

Erin Gray has done at least 1 made for Sci - Fi / Syfy movie.
so, the picture you showed of Kane was of actor Henry Silva - who portrayed Kane in the pilot. Michael Ansara took over after.
That's was pretty cool -
I remember
My childhood was Awesome because of you guys ... Thanks
I Stood next to Tim O'Connor at Laguardia Airport once in 1996 or 1997. He saw i noticed him. So he kept turning away for privacy.
He was one of the first celebrities I ever saw close up.

I loved this show. Will a deering. What a woman!
I have a copy of the original Buck Rogers novel: "Armageddon 2419 A.D." by Philip Francis Nowlan. In Wilma was brunette, not blonde. There was also a red-headed lady.
Thanks for getting all that information together.
That space vampire episode from the first season scared the heck out of me.
the Kane photo is of Henry Silva....NOT Michael Ansara
Henry Silva played Kane in the pilot; the late, great Mr. Ansara played the character in the series. The video poster seems to have missed this.
***** I noticed that as well...
To me, Henry Silva's Kane didn't look like he could fight Buck Rogers. On the other hand, Michael Ansara's Kane looked like he could whip Buck's ass.
Erin Gray was recently seen in an episode of the RUclips ST fan series Star Trek Continues (ep.07 "EMBRACING THE WINDS.") She played a Starfleet admiral.

Henry Silva was Kane in the movie. Michael Ansara Pictured is who played him in the movie
Thank you.........

That was a quote from Michael Crichton.
Michael Ansara, who played Kane, passed away yesterday at the age of 91. RIP Michael.
wow those were the days
That picture of Kane is not Michael Ansara. I guess others have pointed that out.
Nice video but there is one error. 'Kane" was not played by Michael Ansara. It was played by Henry Silva. It was Henry (before)photo that was used in this video and then Michael Ansara's photo was shown. However both actors did appear in the series.
I loved him in Babylon 5
Thankyou
When profiling Killer Kane, you showed when Henry Silva played him, not Michael Ansara.
nostalgia, nostalgia.....
snifff, sniffff
the picture of Kane from the show is actually a picture of Henry Silva who played Kane in the movie.
Felix Sila was also in the Adams family in the 60s played cousin itt.
When you present the photograph of the character KANE, you show the photo of Henry DeSilva, but go on to describe Michael Ansara, who also portrayed KANE.
DeSilva deserves some credit for being a menacing presence to Buck and Wilma and Earth.
The picture in this vid of kane is actually Henry Silva who played Kane in the pilot episode!
erin gray ... omfgg... how gorgeous was she.... sum lucky bastard is her husband... i aint jealous... loooooooooool... yeah right.... lucky bastard... x

I agree with you, charge for seeing a 30 years old tv show it's a shame.
I can watch the full show on youtube for free, I need to change my country in my VPN for some of them.
Well said TV series this old should be free
Should be. But never underestimate how *greedy* some tv networks and studios are. Even though they already made billions from their old shows they won't mind squeezing a million or two from people today.
Heck, they make a small fortune releasing cult classic tv shows on dvd or bluray.
Wait, let me guess, I bet they all appeared in many TV shows, TV movies and films...don't spoil it for me I want to get to the end of the video!
Felix Ails played Lane in the pilot episode/movie. Michael Ansara played him in the series...
Rest In Peace, Michael Ansara.
Still would.
+SlideRulePirate Just. After several pints.
Do you think Gilbert was already do acting or no?
Think hawkman had one bad ass ship like have a real one
On time index 0'25": was Kane really played by Michael Ansara?
Henry Silva played Kane in the pilot / feature film. Michael Ansara played Kane in the shows after the pilot.
Henry Silva's Kane didn't look like he could do anything to Buck Rogers. Michael Ansara's Kane looked like he could whip Buck Rogers' ass.
God Gil aged HORRIBLY.
Kane was played by Henry Silva
only in the Pilot episode
Henry Silva played him in the pilot. Michael Ansara played him after.
Erin grey on sliver spoons was female mom figure role model thanks Erin
OMG! Erin Gray grew a rack! (And if she knew enough about acting to write a book on the subject, maybe there was more to her than just that.)
RIP Michael Ansara. Fine actor.
However in the film/pilot Kane was played by Henry Silva.. that is the photo also shown on here... It's Henry Silva. Credit where credit is due..
They should have profiled Silva as well as Ansara. Makes me wonder, does the idiot who made this video know the difference between the two?
The best episodes were on Future Earth; When they started the whole space exploration shtick I think the quality went down. Good, campy Sci-Fi fun for my early teen years in the 1980s.....Erin Gray was recently a guest star on Vic Mignogna's Star Trek Continues fan project, where she plays a Starfleet Commodore.

I have to say Buck Roger & The 25 century - 1979 far pass's the 1930's version.
Im sorry Henry Silwa played Kane
So long Michael. Your place in Stovo' Kor awaits.
koori, the name of hawk's wife, also means ice in Japanese
And sadly, Michael Ansara died this year from complications of Alzheimers disease
ERIN WAS HOT
I wonder if this is where Rick and Morty got Birdman
Felix Sila played Kane not Micheal Ansara
No Felicia Sila played Twiki and Henry Silva played Kane in both the series and the movie.
@@sherrieleese9011 No Felix Silva played Twiki
Damn how the white actors age horribly. I think Pamela still looks ok. She doesn't look Anglo
Erin and Gil look typical grannies. now.
i am quite sure kane is Henry Silvia
You are correct.
Henry Silva was Kane in the pilot movie. After that, it was Michael Ansara.
Erin Grey was Fine!!!
Is it just my imagination or does Erin Gray look Chinese in her old age?
Wilma! Duh!!!
This report sucks: kane was played by Henry Silva character famous for his roles as villain since the 1950s. Jerk informed before firing random news!
***** The photo is of Silva
they ruined this show with the start of season two
