I enjoyed that show and Erin Grey.

Dr. Theopolis and Twiki were cool, as well.

I have no idea how I remember any names, because I haven't watched it since it was originally broadcast.

I must have liked it—a lot.

“I enjoyed that show and Erin Grey.”

Oh, yes, Erin Gray had it going on... in a big way. Likely was every (straight) American boy’s dream girl c. 1980.

The show sorta lost momentum in the 2nd season when they left New Chicago for more of Star Trek-style new-planet-every-episode kind of thing.

I went to a few DragonCons in the late 90s and easily 00s.

Erin was there a lot and she was on panels and was fan friendly.

The first time I saw Gil Gerard I did not recognize him. He was morbidly obese and broken down. If it wasn’t for the voice being consistent, I wouldn’t have known who he was.

A con or two later he was back and looked at lot more like his old self from TV. He went through some kind of major fitness and health regimen.

RIP Buck.

Few people know this about Erin Grey, but she was quite chubby as a young girl. She lost a lot of weight by the time she reached 20 years. Her parents were nudist and were very active members of a nudist colony. There are photos out on the web of Grey and her family in the buff.

For whatever reason, it never re-emerged in syndication. "Two seasons" might be the reason. In any case, I liked that show's take on the Buck Rogers character. And Erin Grey was beautiful.

Many a male, including me, developed a huge crush on Erin Grey during the first season of the show. The second season was terrible and even Grey hated it. RIP Gil, you will be remembered fondly.

I wanted to like the show, but Dr. Theopolis looked like a "Simon" game necklace and Twiki sounded to much like like a Warner Brothers cartoon character (even the great Mel Blanc has only so many voices).

I preferred the Logan's Run TV show a bit later, but there was zero chemistry between the Logan and Jessica characters.
