The show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century centers around Buck Rogers (played by Gil Gerard), an astronaut from the 20th century who is frozen for 500 years and wakes up on a future Earth facing danger from aliens. Along with his companions, Colonel Wilma Deering (Erin Gray) and the robot Twiki (Felix Silla), Buck appeared in 32 episodes over two seasons. The show changed direction in its second season, focusing more on exploring space with a mobile starship. However, this wasn’t enough to keep viewers interested, and the series ended on April 16, 1981, with the episode “The Dorian Secret.” Since then, Buck Rogers hasn’t appeared in live-action television for over 45 years.
