http://www.buck-rogers.com/media/audio/tv_theme_narration.mp3 Man I used to have the serious hots for Erin Gray too! The bass line is kind of cool, sort of disco and at the same time orchestral .. I think Stu Philips who also did the Battlestar Galactica theme composed this one.
Erin Gray was the shizzle. I watched thats show every week, along with the original BSG. What made the producers of '70s sci-fi series think they needed a token cute mechanical character? Remember that robot on Buck Rogers that began every statement with "BEDEBEDEBEDEBEDE..."? With BSG it was the stupid orange dog.
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.
One of my earliest memories involving television is that one episode with the midgets (?) who started to remove Wilma's uniform with their mind. I was disappointed that they cut to commercial before her boobies were unleashed. Yes, even at 3 years old I was that big of a pervert.
You made me sneeze with that. This should probably be a "That made me laugh post", but I sneezed at the same time as I laughed, which was awkward.
