OK, so, when I was a kid, I used to love that show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." After catching reruns on the SciFi channel for the past month, all I can ask is... "Why?"
My gawd, that show is terrible. I love it, but it's terrible.
Like, the last episode I saw... "Ardala Returns." Basically, the premise is, Princess Ardala (the daughter of the ruler of the Draconian Army) has a plan to attack Earth, but she needs a capable pilot, and none of the Draconian pilots are up to the task. Oh,
obviously Buck is the only one who could possibly do it, so she arranges to have him kidnapped.
Now, anyone who knows anything about Buck Rogers knows that Ardala totally wants to fuck him. She's the only hot woman on the show, yet Buck won't do it. So, the commander of the Draconian ship, Kane, has these robots... they look exactly like Buck. They throw Buck in a weird suit that records his synaptic memories (or some shit like that), and *poof* they have a robot that acts (almost) exactly like Buck. They plant a bomb in the robot and send him to Earth. Col. Deering (Erin Gray) diffuses the bomb by vaporizing the fake Buck.
In the meantime, three more fake Bucks are made. Now this is where it gets... weird. So, we all know she wants to fuck Buck, right? Well... she takes the robots (all three of them) to her room... that's right, this bitch wants a fake Buck gangbang! I swear, I'm not making this up. I'm not sure if she wanted a standard train, or if she was gonna try to be "air tight", but she definitely wanted them all. Of course, none of the robots are
truly like Buck, so she ends up not fucking any of them.
Getting bored yet?
So, they send the three fake Bucks to go attack Earth. Meanwhile, Buck escapes by pretending he's a fake Buck (how lame). He helps Wilma shoot down the fake Bucks, and Ardala still can't get laid. The End.
Why the Draconians didn't just extract Buck's sperm or something while he was knocked out is beyond me. Sure, they wouldn't be perfect copies, but you'd at least get some of the genes you wanted in there, right?
And why didn't Buck fuck Ardala? I mean, he coulda totally fucked her and still escaped. Stupid Buck.

I used to watch that and Battle Star Galactica. Most of the old school sci fi shows were pretty cheese, but that's what made them so entertaining.

I saw Erin Gray signing at the Doctor Who convention in LA last month and she still looked superhot, even if she couldn't give her autograph away.
Yes, I was at the Doctor Who convention last month.
(hanging head in shame)

Wasn't that Pamela Hensley ? I never watched Buck Rogers (my little brother did), but I used to lust after Ms. Hensley; she looked way hot in her Princess Ardala gear.

I don't know who this Buck Rodgers is, but I'm all about being a fan of Duck Dodgers of the 24th and a half century! lol

Dude, Buck was totally stupid. I'd do Ardala in a heartbeat. Just don't tell anyone.

I loved Erin Gray. I wanted to make little Erins with her. She was the hottest thing this side of the chick on Battlestar Galactica.

Recently I've been watching
Knight Rider, which I never watched the first time around. It's so unspeakably awful that it sort of reaches a disturbing perfection.
I just can't get enough of KITT's bitchy, high-maintenance girlfriend routine.
