Talk:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (TV series)

Gil Gerard thought it was going to be a cartoon.

I remember seeing Gil Gerard on some talk show shortly before the series first season started. He told about how he turned down the role because he didn't want to be the voice of a cartoon character and that it took his agent a while to get him to understand it wasn't going to be a saturday morning cartoon. I'll leave it up to the big TV addict Wikipedians to ferret out what talk show it was and exactly what Gil Gerard said. Bizzybody (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Gerard may have thought it was going to be "cartoonish" comic book character (i.e. not serious), but not necessarily a literal cartoon. 88.104.19.70 (talk) 02:10, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Johnny Harris arranged and co-composed the theme

Buck Rogers should be split

I believe that there is enough info for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (film). Its uneccesary to have all the the information merged here. Dwanyewest (talk) 17:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not convinced there is enough information to warrant a separate article since much of the information would be duplicated in this article anyway, but even if there was enough it doesn't necessarily mean there should be one. Even though it got a theatrical release, the 1979 Buck Rogers movie was made as a TV pilot, not as a feature film. It is directly tied into the TV series. Having said that, since almost every major sci-fi series has a separate article for each and every episode, then I don't see why not - although it would possibly mean doing an article for each and every episode of Buck Rogers. 88.104.17.141 (talk) 05:12, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I believe Twiki and Dr. Theopolis should merged both are characters without third person sources to support them. Dwanyewest (talk) 13:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Although they're not huge articles, there's probably too much in them to merge them into this one. As there doesn't appear to be one at the moment, I'd recommend starting a "list of Buck Rogers25C characters" article page. It can include all the main recurring characters as well as guest characters. L@zloFeelo^t@lk 13:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (TV series)/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The DVD release info was inaccurate. It stated the the pilot episode on the DVD was the theatrical version and not the TV version, which did not include some added scenes for the TV version. This was wrong. I had actually just finished watching the pilot from the DVD and it was the TV version that was on the DVD and not the theatrical release. As the article mentioned, the TV version added some scenes and deleted some scenes from the theater version. For example, the TV version deleted Tiger Man's death and added a scene at the end in which Buck was invited to be a part of the Directorate. Both of these scenes were on the pilot episode version that is on the DVD.

Blu-ray presentation

The article says that some material is "upscaled from 1.33:1 SD". Does the writer mean that the original programme is now in HD, or does he mean that the 4:3 original has been cropped and zoomed to fill a 16:9 screen? (There's too much of that going on). G7mzh (talk) 11:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

That section was a little too long and read more like an amateur review than an Wiki entry, so I've condensed it. 31.49.239.77 (talk) 06:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
