CRITICS OF "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Season 1"
Washington Post
Gil Gerard's Rogers is just a big, smirky, takecharge jerk. No sooner does he revive than he's showing the fighter pilots of the 25th century how to do their stuff.
Sadly, with every sweet innuendo and outlandish guest star (Jamie Lee Curtis as a penal-colony prisoner? Gary Coleman as a thawed-out genius? Groovy!) in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century comes a plodding sci-fi plot.
An entertaining diversion from a bygone era - much like Buck himself. The performances are better than they would be in the series that followed and it's a good example of the kind of TV Sci-Fi they don't make anymore.
The smug Gil Gerard, painfully sucking in his gut for the skin-tight white future-suit, dashes about, a plank with a haircut, hoping to echo the swagger of Harrison Ford's Han Solo and missing by light-years.
At best, the formula works like vintage Bond (explicitly so in the title sequence). But too much time is wasted with stale Star Wars plagiarisms, including the screen's dullest robot.
