I watched it too...:(
The scene when Buck, Twiki and Theopolous were at the outdoor market was funny: Buck’s shirt kept getting more and more unbuttoned. Another scene and we would have seen the “hairway to heaven”.
Which brings me to: Wilma Deering or Princess Ardalla?
That’s a tough one, going back to when I was ~6 and saw “Buck Rogers” at the movies...
I remember that was a big, desirable sign of masculinity back then, the big furry chests on these beefy guys (Connery, Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck, Gil Gerard, etc.). Now Hollyweird markets these pencil-necked bozo beta cucks with beards as “desirable,” who just look ridiculous.
You watch those Saturday Night Sci-Fi shows on MeTV ? They have that other good show from the ‘60s, “The Invaders.” I didn’t see it before until they started airing it.
Ardalla was a bit too bitchy for me. Deering had a great body, to be sure, but maybe it was the personality that just didn’t quite “do it” for me. Sometimes she came off as a bit dopey.
I frequently thought the female guest stars were often more desirable (such as Anne Lockhart or the cutie-pie Kimberly Beck, who had to compete with the ill-fated Dorothy Stratten in the same episode — and curiously in that episode, Stratten was apparently unable to do the voice-work for it and guess who did it for her ? Yup, Anne Lockhart !).
