The show has not aged well, neither has Buck Rogers (the actor) himself. I loved this show as a kid but watching reruns of it now, the cheese factor really jumps out. It's still somewhat entertaining though, but I will always prefer the classic Star Trek.
Erin Grey, on the other hand, still looks pretty good for her age.

I watched it only because of her and yes, she still looks great.

I had a Twiki action figure. Was a fan of the show as a kid. Excited about the reboot even. Probably says a lot about me and none of it good.

Bad Girls are so over rated.

Edited to add - except Aunt Pol in peaky blinders, she passed this week, well Helen McRory did, married to some Ginger twat who was in Band of Brothers.
