I think it was "Princess Ardala" ... and she did have all the right curves in all the right places.
My daddy always said Princess Ardala was too thin and boney. Loved it when Tiger Man got his tots busted by Buck. Mom and daddy both laughed hysterically (along with me) when Colonel Derring—er, Wilma, got bit by the vorvon /vampire and Buck was running like heck away from her, tables turned he was always pursuing her. “Aaaahhh, BOOOCK!”
“YAAAHHH Wilma is a vorvon!”
Premier episode / movie: “Give him a painkiller.”
“Are you are real-live princess?”
“I think we gave him too much painkiller.”
“No, really, I feel great!”
So many great episodes and the development of the characters over time, my parents and I loved Gil Gerard and the down-home, easy-laid back attitude of his character against the strict and fearful attitude of New Chicago, their Defense Directorate. There was so very much Buck Rogers had to deal with as everyone he knew and loved had perished in a nuclear war. And later on, some nut tried to blame Buck for actually starting the war and put him on trial.
Rest In Peace, Gil Gerard, and I do thank that time and aspect of TV that gave us movies and shows /series. Like this. Like Battlestar Galactica (yes please the original version).
My heartfelt prayer that Mr. Gerard’s sweet wife be comforted in Christ Jesus, as well as his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
