Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is the title of an American motion picture produced by Universal Studios and released in 1979, and is also the title of a television series based upon the film that was aired by NBC for two seasons between 1979 and 1981.
The film and series were based upon the Buck Rogers character that had been featured in comic strips and novellas since the 1920s.
Concept and broadcast history
The pilot film was first shown in cinemas in Spring 1979. Good box-office returns led NBC to commission a full series, which began on September 20 1979 with a modified version of the theatrical release, which omitted the death of one character (Tiger Man, Ardala's henchman), and added footage to help launch the series. The production obviously used recycled props and costumes from Battlestar Galactica (1978). For example, the control sticks used in the starfighters in this series were the same as those used in Battlestar Galactica's Viper craft. The Earth starfighters were Ralph McQuarrie's original vision of the Colonial Vipers. The same props were later used in the opening credits of the TV Show, Out of this World.
