oh, the venerable Twiggi and Muffet. I read an interview recently with the producer of Buck Rogers where they said they tried to gear these "primetime" shows in the late 70s and early 80s at the whole family. Scifi traditionnally being better recieved by young men. So they had Buck for mom, Wilma for dad and son, and the annoying bots, ala R2D2 for little kids and young girls.
