Advantages: Nostalgia, oh lord watching this show brings back so many memories! Disadvantages: Avoid the region 2 set - go for the Region 1 set, its the complete series!
...Star Trek and of course Buck Rogers!
I am reviewing the Region 1 (US) boxset, as this is THE complete set, including the widely regarded as horrendous second season of the series! But for fans who want the "complete" experience you need this set and not the UK one. And from all accounts the price is about the same for the two versions?!?
The region 1 boxset art is also SO much better, it is simply much much ... ...much?) for the kiddies in Buck Rogers (although the latter half of Battlestar got also too kiddie like!).
But you all know the story of Buck Rogers being frozen and then awoken in the 25th century, so I will avoid the recap!
If you are expecting loads of extras, included in the excellent Battlestar Galactica boxset - you will be disappointed with this set, I was!
No extras to speak of. Just the episodes and a little ... more

But for fans who want the "complete" experience you need this set and not the UK one. And from all accounts the price is about the same for the two versions?!?
The region 1 boxset art is also SO much better, it is simply much much much prettier to look at then the Region 2 bland box. The Region 1 box comes in a plastic slip on case and the discs come in the usual "book" format - not the best as the layout of the discs is a little confusing - kept on skipping huge chunks, oh the extra discs are on the flipside - yes the discs you have to flip!!
Onto the plot........ Well for those who don't know, this series dates back to the 70's when sci-fi involved women in skin tight lycra (Wilma Deering hubba hubba!), hi tech was lots of blinking flashing lights and futuristic sets meant lots of plastic furniture! Glen A Larson was at this time a god for sci fi nuts, coming off the far far far superior Battlestar Galactica, he tones everything down a little (too much?) for the kiddies in Buck Rogers (although the latter half of Battlestar got also too kiddie like!). But you all know the story of Buck Rogers being frozen and then awoken in the 25th century, so I will avoid the recap!
If you are expecting loads of extras, included in the excellent Battlestar Galactica boxset - you will be disappointed with this set, I was! No extras to speak of. Just the episodes and a little booklet. A real shame, as I still believe everyone on the show is still around and kicking - so a commentary or documentary would have been nice! The first season revived my memories of when the original broadcast in the late 70's on ITV on a saturday. I have since managed to catch the odd episode here and there but to relive the entire show in all its glory was just sweet. The second season just showed how badly the show slipped and ultimately why the show was cancelled.
The set is worth a chuckle and a walk down memory lane, but don't expect anything more.
