5.0 out of 5 stars Rude Awakening part 2: Down to Earth, December 17, 2011
By 
Carl Schupp (Brunswick, Ohio) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (Amazon Instant Video)
SOUNDS LIKE BUCK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD TO COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

I'm glad nothings changed, at least for me. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire series again. Not only was
the show enjoyable and brought back memories, there always seems to be some new element to it. Currently some of the original cast members have been working in a revived version taken from the original story. Having collected
some memorabilia from the 1979 series, I find it interesting that several unfilmed versions exist. It would be great
to see it all come back again!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars TV Has Certainly Changed, April 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (Amazon Instant Video)
I was feeling a little nostalgic when I saw this available for download, as I used to watch every episode growing up. Overall, this one is really showing its age with the not-so-stellar acting abilities and a pretty bad script. What seemed "cool" from a possible future technology standpoint as a kid looked like something patched together from Radio Shack and Toys 'R Us today. While I did watch the first episode of the pilot all the way through, I did not order any further episodes.

My kids thought it was bad, too.

If you were a fan of the show growing up, I'd recommend saving your money and time and savor your memories and not burst the bubble by watching this again.
