Buck Rogers finally makes his way to DVD in this =Complete Epic Series box set thanks to the fine TV folk over at Universal. Join Twiggy, Hawk, and the unbeatable Erin Gray in all of her sexy space outfits as Buck dishes out 20th century slang to unknowing future people in 31 jam-packed episodes, along with the original theatrical pilot in all its glory. The picture is presented in a 1.33:1 full-frame image that boasts a solid transfer, though various age marks can be spotted in most all of the episodes. A Dolby Digital 2.0 track has been supplied to the set, which might disappoint the higher end home-theater crowd but shouldn't be a surprise to those who purchase a lot of TV shows on DVD (most rarely get the full 5.1 treatment). While the set does indeed present the entire series, Universal has failed to include any extras or even the bumpers that were added to the theatrical film when it was split into two pilot episodes for TV. Still, there aren't any real excuses for anyone not to purchase this set and delight in all its sci-fi, cheesy goodness. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
