Overview
Capt. William “Buck” Rogers is a jovial space cowboy who is accidentally time-warped from 1987 to 2491. Earth is engaged in interplanetary war following a global holocaust, and Buck’s piloting skills make him an ideal starfighter recruit for the Earth Defense Directorate, where his closest colleagues are Dr. Huer (Tim O’Connor), squadron leader Col. Wilma Deering (former model Erin Gray), the wisecracking robot Twiki (voiced by cartoon legend Mel Blanc), and a portable computer-brain named Dr. Theopolis.

Viewing Notes
Super corny and campy of course but I still adore this movie which is the pilot episode that launched the series. Everything is so disco in the 25th Century and shockingly retro! Yeah, this is silly stuff but another pillar of my childhood influences.
