Hi Everyone,
I've been checking out some of those rumors involving Disney, possibly
making a Buck Rogers film. Their propossed plotline seem to be taken
from the TSR series of books. A pilot flying an experimental
interceptor destroys incomming missles in the outer atmospere. His
fighter is too damaged to continue so he ejects using a crogenic
escape pod. Several hundred years laters he is unthawed to battle evil
intergalactic conglomerites. It sounds like they are going to be doing
a lot of that Communism good individualism bad preaching so many
movies do now a days. That is if they ever get it off the ground.
Unfortunately that is almost the exact reverse of the original intent
of the Buck Rogers books and series. We can only prayer that they be
granted a revelation to open their eyes, or the studio gets hit by
lightning. When will they realize the fans will not swallow just
anything they slap a familiar name on?

I hope this isn't considerd spam. I am a member here and thot some
people might be interested in this eBay item. I am selling my Buck
Rogers Satellite Pioneers kit. This collectible was offered to kids
who sent in coupons from the Buck Rogers comic strip in the 50s. The
kit includes Cadet Commision, Solar Map, Starfinder and Codebook, plus
an autographed "photo" of Buck Rogers. The Cadet Commision has a name
written in the border, and the code messages on the back of the
Codebook have been filled in. The bulletins have been folded for many
years and the paper is beginning to seperate along the creases. Please
note that most of these are in bulletins maked CONFIDENTIAL by Cmdr
Rogers, Earth GHQ himself (apparently the locations of the nine
planets and the constellations were classified). Winning bidder
promises not to reveal their contents to Killer Kane, Martian tigermen
or other enemies of Earth! And watch for my collection of Buck Sunday
pages coming soon!

I joined too late to vote in the polls but my favorite Buck Rogers was
always the newspaper strips, esp by Rick Yager, which I read in FAMOUS
FUNNIES before it finally made it to my hometown paper.  But I liked
all the versions even the watered down TV series and the radically
altered recent Rebellion books.

Can you help with pricing some collectibles?  I have a Buck Rogers
Satelite Pioneers kit, and I would like to know how much it's worth.
If anyone can help with a general price I can adjust it for its
condition.  Kit includes:  Map of solar system, Star Finder, Code book
and Cadet Commission, plus an autographed b&w "photo" of Buck by
Murphy Anderson.

Those of you who have voted in the polls so far, thank you. If you
haven't yet, they will be open through the end of the month. Please
let us know what you think.

Oh, for those who didn't know, the Nolan family sanctioned 1 sequal
and 1 rewrite to Amegedon 2415, beside the Buster Crabbe Serial.
Modred writen in the 70's by John Eric Holmes and is a very good
attempt at recreating the characters of the original book. TSR
Produced a series of books in the 80's that mixed the Gil Girard and
Armegedon 2415 versions. The first book was Rebellion 2456. The result
could be termed the forth remake of the original book.

JP

It's remarkable what you notice once your looking. After his first
appeared on Buck, I started noticing him on lots of reruns as villian
of  the week. When looking through those nostaglia discs on the
bairgain racks, I see how much TV Buster Crabbe did.

Disney or Sci Fi doing a Buck Rogers script. That sounds like a choice
between Collera and Typhoid. It may have the title but will probably
have nothing to due with any of the sanctioned books or the TV series.
I'd rather get Hensen's monster factory to write it.

Those duplication farms run hundreds of discs through the machines at
a time. One or two passes could have thousands of side b's ruined and
not effect any other disc in the set. Considering they probably
produced a couple of million sets, the likely hood that several
thousands could be deffective would not be unheard of. Actor contracts
usually only affect release of the material they appeared in, and not
any commentary on that material. I suspect the loosey release was due
tio loosey management at universial. Look at the releases of Lost in
Space. Very little of anything there. The same with the DVD of Star
Trek TOS.

Okay.

This isn't an official "I got it from some website" piece of info. A
friend of mine that works for The Sci-Fi Channel in New York told me
this yesterday (on Sunday, May 8th):

As some of you may know, Disney bought up the rights to Buck Rogers
in 1997 to develop a project of sorts out of it (probably a movie).
A few scripts got tossed around, but even it all went silent. Well,
my friend "Chuck" (not his real name, but we'll just call him that
since he wasn't supposed to tell me about this at all) told me he
overheard some talk around the cooler about The Sci-Fi Channel
buying up the rights for Buck Rogers off of Disney in hopes to
develop a new series based off of it, using their recent success
with the new Battlestar Galactica as proof that the new Buck series
will sell to the public for sure (given the right actors, writers,
directors, ect.).

Now I don't know if "Chuck" is pulling my leg or not (he does know
I'm a monstrously rabid Buck Rogers fan), but if the info is true
(which I sadly have no way to verify it) then we may be in store for
the return to TV of the original space hero!

WOO-HOO!

Well, on a few other message boards I vaiguely remember reading as
well as two of my friends, have had the same problem I've had with
Disk 1 Side B. It's basically that the side just skips like crazy to
the point to that eventually it just locks up and your DVD player
can't read anything off of it. It locks up on my Playstation 2, on
my Panasonic DVD/VCR, and on my Mintek DVD player, so I know it's
not any one particular player.

As to Gil & Erin with wanting too much money about it all, that's
pretty sad if it's true. When I was at the 25th anniversary showing
if the original 1978 film back in November, Gil was absent and both
me and my father were pretty suprised. Felix was too which was
doubly odd. But yea, Erin showed up with her husband & daughter, all
smiles and what not for the cameras.

I just really do wish they had done so much more with the box set. I
mean, it is literally a bare-bones box set and there's not even an
alternate TV broadcast version of "Awakening" on the front of Disk
1. Fortunately, the box set HAS allowed me to go over the second
season with a fine-toothed comb and assess that in reality, it's not
all that bad. It wasn't honestly as good overall as the first
season, but it had it's moments for sure.

With all that said and done, I have a little piece of possible Buck
news I'll write on another post right after this.....

universal was REALLY cheap on the Buck Rogers box set. I mean think
about it:

- No commentaries

- No extras

- Side B of Disk 1 barely  works if at all (I know I'm not the only
person with this problem since I've talked to about 5 various people
with it as well).

All I have to say is that if they can put so much darn work into the
Battlestar Galactica box set & the Knight Rider one, then why not the
same for the Buck Rogers one? It's just another perfect example of the
lack of care Universal has for their Buck Rogers property.

I have beastmaster one and three so i'll definately miss anyone like
that who made things so driven even with beastmaster.

For those here that are readers of fantasy and science fiction, I have
some sad news. On March 17 Andre Norton pasted off this earth to
eternity. She wrote, co-authored, and edited aproximately 189 titles. A
leader in the character driven field of the science fiction and fantasy
genres, she created personalities her readers could identify with. Many
of today's writers grew up reading her books and emulating her style.
The movie series "The Beastmaster", was very loosely adapted from one
of her novels. Her fans will miss her, and the science fiction
community has lost a source of inspiration.

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to hi, and hoped your weather was doing as good as ours.
We have a new member named Sid, and my local cable company finally
added the Sci Fi channel. Hopefully we will have something worth
talking about soon. So for now I hope you are having fun and enjoying
yourself.

The DVD's are great. Too bad they took so long to get here. They used
the theatrical version of the first episode. This left out some
footage used in the broadcast version and added other footage the
broadcast left out. Why couldn't they programed an option, or included
both?
