Quality box set for the most part... [Posted on 2008-07-23] The complete series for less than $20? Sold. My copy came in this week and i have to say i am very pleased with my purchase overall. The 5-disc box set's artwork is nicely done and so are the dvd menus found within. For season one you get the tv 'teasers', or whatever they call it, right before the episode starts. But both seasons have text summaries for each episode you're about to watch so no guesswork is involved(i know i should just go through them all in order, but it was hard to resist skipping around finding favorite episodes to watch first). The picture/sound quality is mostly good and consistent but i did notice a few lapses here and there but nothing major. Only major complaint i have is the lack of ANY extras(unless there's some easter eggs i haven't found yet).
As for the show, i enjoyed both seasons(yes, even the 'less fun' season 2). The second one was a drastic change from the first but Thom Christopher is one of those changes, and for the better too. His character and that bird-like spaceship of his was the coolest thing i saw when i was a kid. I'm glad to say i skipped to the 2-part episode that introduced him and everything held up pretty well after all these years. And even though i liked season one a little more, there were truly some awe-inspiringly embarrassing moments in it. If you've ever seen The Office tv show and cringed, you need to take a look at some of these episodes. Hilarious moments that make you wonder why you bought this set, and then you remember...cause it's entertaining. Recommended.
other reasons to get this set: Princess Ardala, Erin Gray in white, Erin Gray in blue, Erin Gray in maroon, re-used sound efx from Battlestar Galactica, etc. (did i mention Erin Gray is in this?)
MUY BUENA [Posted on 2008-07-25] ES UN PAQUETE EXCELENTE, Y SOBRE TODO TIENE LETREROS EN ESPAÑOL. GRACIAS.
¡DIOS LOS SIGA BENDICIENDO MUCHO!
Buck Rogers Review [Posted on 2008-07-26] A must have for all you aging Gen-Xers that grew up watching bad sci-fi on TV.
The Deal of the 21st Century [Posted on 2008-09-26] My goodness...Buck Rogers The Complete Series is now down to 13.99?? That's almost half of what I paid for Jason of Star Command! I thought I got this at a steal at 17.99...which I certainly did...but at this price, this is easily the all-time greatest deal for a TV series on DVD yet.
The show is a blast. Cool FX (cheesy at times, awesome at others, but always cooler than CGI), great spaceships, 70's disco-influenced regalia, hot space chicks in sexy clothes (Erin Gray is just the start), fun stories, and a cast that enjoys themselves and what they're doing...it all adds up to a non-stop fun excursion back to your childhood.
The prints look great and the packaging is even very nice. There is no doubt whatsoever about the incredible value of this set. Either for yourself or the kids, for this price, you gotta buy it.
Great, Great, Great! [Posted on 2008-10-16] If you saw these as a kid, then you must get this set. Sure it's 80s cheese but that's the point. Buck was a stud and Wilma a fox. She still is even when I see the shows now! My kids, especially the 8 yr old love them too. The four year old watches them some too but his mind wanders a bit!
