Is Buck Rogers in the 25th Century still on a regular basis on Sci-Fi? I seem to only get 2 or 3 eps to appear on a schedule on TVNow.com.

Thanks!

Yeah, they've been airing it as part of their weekly marathons. Guess they've decided to show just two episodes again.

You can see it again on Monday, April 3:

Testimony of a Traitor:

Buck is tried for high treason when a 500-year-old videotape documents his participation in a conspiracy against Earth.

The Dorian Secret:

A stowaway on the Searcher jeopardizes the lives of Buck and the crew.

Thanks. Yes, I've seen the ep list. Do you ever watch it? I don't believe I ever have. But there's 2 that I am really wanting to see especially.

Plot To Kill A City Parts 1 & 2

Guess it'll be awhile....but that's okay.

You're welcome. :)

Yeah, whenever I happen to find it as one of their marathons I will. They also had it real late at night on Saturdays, I think. I usually watched it then, too.

For readers of a certain age, this article from the Starlog archives is likely to be a heck of a nostalgia trip. In October and November of 1996, the sci-fi magazine ran a two-part retrospective about the TV show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Buck Rogers aired on NBC for two seasons from 1979-1981. Producer Glen A. Larson duplicated the formula of his other successful Star Wars rip-off, Battlestar Galacta. The two shows even cut costs by sharing props.

At the time, Buck Rogers was panned as a cheap knock-off which it probably was. I haven’t watched the show since I was ten years old and I don’t want to. All I know is that back in the days when I was obsessed with all things Star Wars, shows like Battlestar and Buck Rogers were the closest thing my friends and I could get to a sci-fi/adventure fix.
