Buck Rogers DVDs

In the late 1970s, early 1980s, Buck Rogers In The 25th Century answered every young boy`s yearning for sci-fi that a certain famous movie released a few years earlier had stoked. But Buck Rogers was no knock-off - he had been around for several decades, actually - and his story resembled no other`s in sci-fi. Buck Rogers was actually conceived by a short fiction writer in the late 1920s. The character was revamped by a comic strip artist and appeared in serialized form in newspapers across the country for many years. Through this comic strip, Buck Rogers became a household name.

A worthy astronaut on a mission deep in space, Capt. William `Buck` Rogers awoke in the 25th Century after his ship was captured by pirates. He finds that Earth is now little more than wastelands, filled with cutthroat brigands who have devolved into tribal factions. He also learns his loved ones have long since died. Humans put the planet`s every element under computerized control, as they figured they had destroyed the world with their bad choices, and such decisions were better left to others. Many robots and computerized structures are now capable of emotions and emotional growth, making them almost human, and Buck develops close, personal relationships with several of them.

1977 was not even the first time Buck appeared on TV; he was the focus of a short-lived TV series back in the 1950s.
