Buck Rogers Original Intro

[theternalcity]

the first time i saw this intro as a boy i thought, "i wonder what the rest of the show is gonna be like if this is just the beginning? " ooo erin...

[hotdogsnpizza]

It looks like a classic James Bond intro. But it is great. The creativity of the producers and writers at that time was superb.

[summer20105707]

Buck Rogers is the Chuck Norris of the 25th century.

Everyday at 12 noon the Borg Collective surrenders to the overwhelming might of Buck Rogers. The Borg Queen can't get enough of him. LOL

[Criomorph]

realy "jony dumas"what kind of dumbass name is that (if you get the joke good if you dont your a dumas you dumbass-get the fucking hint)

[jupiter627]

well put ganirned1976

[LEOMUSIC76]

En el siglo 25!!!



[miguelfacal2610]

ganimed1976,I support everything you say! this melody is fantastic and it took part of my life!

[camdenraver]

Vocal version of the theme sounds like a Barry Manilow recording...

[cwmak70]

20 dislikes mistook buck rogers as f**k rogers does dallas.

[summer20105707]

@cwmak70

Those 20 idiots don't know what real music is.

[cwmak70]

@summer20105707 LOL, Good one!!

[TheAmethystScorpion]

Bond in space. If thats what he was dreaming about for 500 years then he must have been REAL pissed when woke him up!!

[Isurtum]

One of the coolest and sexiest intros ever for a sci-fi flick! And it is pretty disco-ish. Haven't seen that movie since thirty years but Pamela Hensleys hips alone convinced me that I should watch it again ...

[SilkwormMissile]

@wilsonx54 erection has one r in it, fuckhead

[weegerri1sm]

mmmm... little bit Barbarella :P

[KajiSempai1]

Pamela Hensley hips at 2:00, are the best!! She was the sexiest space princess of the late 70's.

[DreamWeaverTutorial]

I didn't watch Buck Rogers to see Buck. I watched it to see Erin Gray!! weebee deebee deebeee!!!

[MsGbergh]

Buck rogers in the 21st century... Lucky Buck! ;-)

[djspesh82]

Deep space probes - that's what he says to all his women.

[narinoamor]

Is it just me or is this a very james bond intro?

[asia911]

Yeah, a porno version of Buck Rogers!

[GoLeo73]

no space chatel

[Shadow1776]

I've never seen this before. Quite like it. No wonder they had to edit it though. - drags on a bit and looks more like something from a Bond movie. I like the way it cuts into Kip Lennons song .. all very nice .

[branie99]

Buck Rogers was part of my early introduction to science fiction

[penti77]

Wonderful!!

[TheJennaside]

@MrDewy67 ,did you get a new keyboard with caps lock on for christmas

[sadako24]

Must be one hell of a Rohypnol those women used on him.

[BobbytheCanadiankid]

Wow ! This is great !

[scottcornwall1]

Im just amazed Gil Gerard got this role - he was far too old - and all the 'sexy' storylines with women half his age - was a bit cringeworthy lol

[dessert57]

@scottcornwall1 agree :)

basically it was just a sign of the times...today, an actor like that wouldn't even get a look in - everything is youth oriented now. It'd be a 25 y/o male with girlie features etc...Those days men had hairy chests and showed them! (Buck even shows his hairy back in one episode) :) BUT having said all that I do love the political in-correctness of those times...the intro for instance wouldn't happen now, it's too much 'male fantasy' and sexist for nowadays. Go Buck!

[zeppelinuk]

@dessert57 I prefer those more innocent, yet politically incorrect of my youth in the late 1970's!...

[gmansi]

@dessert57 Go Buck!!!

[summer20105707]

@scottcornwall1

He was a believable age for an astronaught and officer in the airforce. Women half his age is just fine as long as its legal. Political correctness be damned. They wanted somebody that looked like he had age and experience working in his favor. William Shatner in Star Trek was similar in my opinion, or Harrison Ford in Star Wars for that matter.

[jonsmskin]

damn...just how much spandex could Erin Grey squeeze into one outfit !!

[LazarusOwenhart]

@jonsmskin More accuratly, how little.

[pirateofthecarabiner]

@jonsmskin If you look her up on wiki, she was actually sewn into those outfits...

[vagabondflow]

This intro kinda implies the whole series is Buck dreaming.

[alasdair21]

They so could have done a 3rd or 4th Season with this show, it was amzing, but tht Big Robot in S-2 sucked

[wilsonx54]

As a 13 year old English boy growing up watching Buck Rogers I can't tell you the size of the crush or the thousands of errections Erin Gray \ Wilma gave me.Ahhhhhh!

[RedroomStudios]

just randomly thought about this show, did a search and clicked on this video... absolutely loved this show when I was a kid! cant wait to review more clips from the show. and yes, its hard to believe that the opening titles ran 4:07!

I agree with the others that the 70's seemed like a more innocent and beautiful time. the 80's was a low point in style and fashion and I have little sentimentality for that period.

[zeppelinuk]

@RedroomStudios I quite agree!... : )

[ganimed1976]

Such a fine melodic music back in those days was only possible because the people, by their strict upbringing, which also perceived the environment much more sensitive, was conditioned in a sensitive way. Such an awareness of emotional things is now completely eliminated by the uncontrolled growth of the modern youth by listen Rap / Hip Hop music or watching porn movies. The own ego comes first because the character is without emotions. And the whole thing is called "Cool".

[zeppelinuk]

@ganimed1976 I quite agree... Being born in 1974, I wouldn't say I had a strict upbringing, but one where I just don't, can't and never can relate to the ego driven rap and hip hop of today, so I tend to have a preference for emotional, melodic music such as this Buck Rogers theme tune!...

[gmansi]

@ganimed1976 Nice answer....80's rules

[redplague]

@ganimed1976 Wow! What a narrow minded person you are. Where do I begin? You saying that there is no melodic music out there at the moment? You need to expand your horizons if thats the case. Kids listening to music which the older generation thinks is crap is nothing new, but the way you speak is a huge genralisation bordering on arrogance. And porn lol, porn is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Kids watching porn is nothing new but to attach itto emotions is silly.

[kate22uk]

4.07mins in and the show hasn't even started yet! lol Love it :-D

[JKuaresma]

This makes me feel like I'm from another era. Can't believe how rotten and brutish things have become since then. We really need to go back to the 70s and 80s way of life and thinking to get the World back into shape. We must teach younger generations that Innocence and Generosity are not wrong, and that we all must have values and not just interests. Oh, yeah: and bring back spandex!

[uthpala1000]

nope another one here. nice song

[geoffdoor]

yes this was the original opener for buck rogers - this pilot as i recall was fucking ace just needed to go full blown pornographic -

[viktorgorchev]

Am I the only one who actually likes the song?

[gmansi]

@viktorgorchev No, not the only one the song is really good

[azmatt73]

Nothing better than seeing all the female cast members sprawled out in bikinis....dam they're hot! The theme song and whoever the dweeb was who sang it totally suck though. Hit the mute button the next time you watch this, you'll enjoy it a lot more :-)

[paulallan1000]

He should be called Fuck Rogers after that the lucky git

[miko1975guitar]

always loved this gratuitous opening sequence to the pilot movie! Pity about the cheesy song

[dkempf1]

I met Erin Gray at Monster Mania last summer and she is as nice as she is beautiful....

[peteroberts79]

is it me or does that first girl that comes on looks like a young deidre barlow!!?? lol

[2manynegativewaves]

@peteroberts79 LMAO,Ken had some serious compition back then :) My God,I loved this show as a kid,Erin Grey ,well,even at 6 I knew she was hot :) But,WTF,lyrics? Really? I do not remember those naff,nasaly whinney lyrics at all......

[starwarsrebel2006]

@2manynegativewaves I remember those lyrics. The show was actually first shown as a movie in theatres with this song. When it came on TV, they got rid of the lyrics.

[59mar]

such a beautoful song :-) beautiful

I remember when I heard it first watching the series, I was around twelve years old

I'll never lose it.

[dkempf1]

Please spell the last name of this goddess correctly! Erin Gray! Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

[doughaines720]

it's darth vader narrating

[lmiddleman]

@doughaines720 I believe you will find it's William Conrad, not James Earl Jones.

[YahooKamikaze]

Wow there's actual lyrics behind the music? You just blew my mind!

[pspboy7]

Looks like a Bond film :)

[GuanoLad]

My memory of the show must be flawed. I can recall plenty of wise-cracking robots, but not so many sultry babes in silver bikinis.

[EmpireLS56KW]

I think they should have recoded Buck Rogers in 6trcak DOLBY STEREO® with stereo surrounds with mega sound!

[unmedication]

There are worst dreams. Definitely (e-space-ialy on mondays)

[bluerisk]

For me the Erin Grey Show...luckily enough they learned their lesson: Resident Evil, Underworld, KIll Bill, Tomb Raider Series etc.

[eusebius65]

Erin Grey not only has the classic 70s al-foil swimsuit she also has the semi-Farrah Fawcett hair do followed by a classic pout. Yeah baby!

[lonewolf4108]

classic, cute babes to

[thregar]

This song is like a baby thinking about what it might be like after its born.

[cableguy786]

has to be 1.58 hit pause!!

[madloz76]

Soft porn and sci-fi do mix.

[leonb1701]

Buck Rogers had to be oneof the best sci-fi's of it's time!! Gil Gerard is a GOD & Erin Gray is a babe!! Miss this series, hope the BBC repeat again soon!!

[joebliksem]

Listen to the lyrics. The point is that he never woke up. The enire series was just his dying dream.

[MrUdolino]

@joebliksem That's a very sad but interesting point of view. Greetings from Germany.

[gmansi]

@MrUdolino do you know where to find the lyric of the song? I speak spanish and I want to read the lyric to translate it

[MrUdolino]

@gmansi I've sent you my transcript of this song in a personal message.

[gmansi]

@MrUdolino THANKS!! Really thanks

[Maltray]

@joebliksem They never really said if it was just a dream or not the series suggests it wasn't as drea, technology at the moment can't bring someone who's in cryogenic stasis back so far

[Boyscoutl]

500 years dreams of fun.. omg... lucky one^^

[vlweb3d]

Dreaming of chicks for 500 years - LOL

[TheShadowwolf88]

I recognize the voie off the narrator from other series!

[TheShadowwolf88]

Maybe those babes he dreamt about were "spirits" protecting his mind from breaking beccause off the long "sleep" someone may have understood that he was going to be needed later!

[GileadKid]

It was great to see Pamela Hensley and Erin Grey appear in space bikinis when their names came up on screen. Thank fuck Tim O'Connor didn't appear in a silver thong when his name came up though.

[composerdoh]

but still.... you'd think if they grew so adept at space travel in the intervening centuries, they'd have found his ship at some point or another and rescued him much sooner.

[MrRowney1]

errrrr is it me are is these girls doing soft porn ....dirty buck rodgers ,  i see where he got the nick name from

[composerdoh]

Interesting- I don't remember this intro- do they show this now when they rebroadcast it now on scifi?

[tunkunrunk]

@composerdoh I do remember this intro , I think I was 9 or ten when they brodcasted the movie on tv , I could not forget for years buck rogers beeing frozen in his spaceship and wanted to see the movie again .thanks to youtube eighteen years laters somebody uploaded the intro on youtube .

[composerdoh]

@tunkunrunk thanks! Yeah, I'm glad they uploaded it too. Still don't think I remember it.... I was prob only 4 or 5- my Mom prob changed the channel really quick or ushered me out of the room! lol

[tunkunrunk]

@composerdoh ah! ah! ah! that's funny your mom probably thought there was some sex scene in the movie , my parents used to do the same whenever a guy started to kiss a woman on tv , but for buck rogers they did'nt , and i think the intro was censored .

[composerdoh]

@tunkunrunk I don't really remember... like I said, I was like...4

;-)

[ganimed1976]

This song is so beautyful. No other Intro song would fitted better for this movie like "Suspention" by Kipp Lennon.

[jexplink]

2:57 - Buck hits the spot.

[Love4SK]

good intro, they knew what 15 yr old boys cared about.

[EmpireLS56KW]

2:03 well if Buck is dream of this I want some. Dirty old bugger he is. LOL

[BlackmoonUK]

4:07 - A little bit too sexy for a kids' show I think! Hmmmmmm.

[germanicelt]

I loved this show as a kid when it was on tv, but I didn't see this intro until 1995 when I hired the movie. It's like disco and retro porn together.

[RiFFxxx]

I want this played at my funeral, its almost fitting.

[LC128]

@RiFFxxx yeah i think the same i want this played at my funeral

[kpuc1973]

this show was all about wilma / erin gray

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

70s porn ftw!

[womblediehard]

So when Buck was in frozen coma he had dreams of pussie, ummmmmm.

[coastlinersmithy]

Kipp Lennon singing

[captainkierant]

Okay, cheesy by today's standards, but sooooo wonderfully "period". Love it! :)

[stargiggler]

I think this is a brilliant intro to a sci fi movie/tv reason I listened to it so man times

[tunkunrunk]

@stargiggler so do I , I love the james bond style intro

[SprattyD]

How come my dreams never contain hot retro women :-(

[dimas4u]

500 years not spanking the monkey... what ever he could dream about it?

[russwinkler]

Glad this never made it to tv! Is there anything Bill Conrad didn't narrate.

[Wankshaftsbury]

erin grey:

The best thing humanity made.

[morecomp]

Ich weiß nicht wie gut ihr englisch sprecht oder euch an Musik erinnert, ich mag das Intro und den Song ja auch aber es ist nur eine Abwandlung von Que Sera, Sera von Doris Day.

Mit dem Intro zusammen ist das schon geil und ich kuck mir das auch 20 Jahre später immer noch gerne an.

Denkt mal über Doris Day nach :P

[59mar]

@morecomp abwandlung von doris day' que sera ?

wat n quatsch !! grins

hase tomaten aufn ohren sach ma

:-))))

[morecomp]

Ich frag mich warum man den Kommentar negativ bewerten muss? Nur weil man am Rythmus dreht und ein paar Noten umstellt ist es noch kein neues Lied. Hab ja nicht gesagt dass ich es schlecht finde hab nur gesagt dass es aus einer bestimmten Ecke kommt und die Band spielt sogar selber darauf an. Wer noch Fragen hat muss noch englisch lernen.

[59mar]

fantastically beautiful song of my childhood !

[Disthron]

You know, I'm wondering what happened to the giant glowing "Buck Rodgers" sign that these girls are lounging on.

[karaton11]

i think Hollywood should do new version of Buck Rogers. Because its topic was good.

[televisionfan1977]

i love buck rogers myself as i also grew up with the show so you aint cheezy long live Gil Gerard and Erin Gray

[BAZULTRA]

lol he may as well have been called fuck rogers when you see this clip :D

classic show

[humbertojimmy]

500 years dreaming in space... did he dream of green fields, children, world peace? No. It was all about hot babes! bastard.

[thregar]

@humbertojimmy ha! who can blame him :)

[samsam29]

@humbertojimmy wouldn't you?

[EmpireLS56KW]

3:53 Buck Rogers, looks so alone and lost in time that doesn’t know of anymore.

[bluerisk]

@humbertojimmy

World peace?

I never dreamt of it.

[Disthron]

@humbertojimmy Hot babes on a big glowing sign that spells out his name no less. I wonder if someone out there still has that giant Buck Rodgers sign.

[nelnel2008]

my childhood time...

As a Hong Kong child that time, I don't know much English... Without subtitles, I think I would not know what the story is about.

However, this TV series really dig into my deepest mind. After 25 years, I still remember it.....

btw, in Hong kong, when it is boardcast in a Cantonese TV channel, its has a chinese name 二十五世紀宇宙戰戰, which means "Twenty-fifth Century Universe War"...

[KirksMerkin]

Currently at 259,501 views. Tonight in a marajuanna stupour . . . I have come to realise that I HAVE to personally account for at least 196,487 of them, and need to either GET A GIRLFRIEND - or just accept that Buck Rogers is simply the KING OF AWESOME MOUNTAIN!!!!

[sweavo]

clearly had James Bond aspirations! This the the '80s that is most closely related to the '70s!

[Trek001]

2:23 - please please please tell me that is not Tim O'Conner in drag

[cillasnow]

very camp lol

[StephenChanify]

It looks like Buck Roger trapped in outer space, and gang raped by female aliens.

[damron13]

This could easily pass as an intro for a glam-porn flick. Cheesy indeed.

[lewis989]

Where can I get the intro song??

[thejobloshow]

I love this show. It was made just to make life more awesome.

[Maniaccount]

Who is the Girl in 2:36 ? Thank you for Info

[anfield011074]

mostly models where used in the opening credits. the girl is a model no idea who she is

[Asiablue]

@Maniaccount Leann Hunley

[walter696977]

this is the show that most sticks out when i was in elementary school. i will never forget the movie.

[andydra40]

erin grey i would

[EEWW2006]

@andydra40 I would too, but im not doing sloppy seconds, get to the back of the queue.

[bernisweltredsun]

@andydra40 i would pamela hensley too ^^ xD

[seraphimdrs]

weiß wer wie der titel dieses hits ist der mir eigentlich schon mein ganzes leben nie ganz aus dme kopf geht^^

[59mar]

der sänger heisst kipp lennon-

heisst wohl buck rogers in the 25th century theme...

[ElCampanero07]

@59mar der sänger ist in der tat kipp lennon, aber der song heißt "suspension"

[JonnyInfinite]

Brilliantly sexist: I love how Buck is still boning women despite being half-dead. When I saw this many years ago, it aroused the man inside the boy.

Now all I can wonder is how many of these 70s women have hairy mary's, and how many shaven havens..

[RayDH]

Whaha, you're so right. I thought I was the only one with this problem. I love 70/80s shows but I can't help thinking "Damn, she's hot but she probably has an Tina Turner-hairstyle underneath... it totally ruins everything... like this nice Erin Gray performance here....

[JonnyInfinite]

Nut-Bush city limits?

[aguamaniac]

I had the same thoughts myself when I was younger!

[tngr68]

beaki beaki beep...:)

[Ventrue370]

..david hamilton style!^^

[pspboy7]

Enter now for a chance to become Gil Gerard on the Original Buck Rogers Intro during these following scenes. You may be a winner :)

[mark871162]

erin gray looks like a porn star

[reivenlocke]

I loved this show when I was in 1st grade. That being said, it's totally unwatchable cheese now.

[Ventrue370]

reivenlocke - and amen....a sentimental part of childhood - nothing more!!

[hamburg40]

matwsussx you are funny !

[matwsussx]

I was always amazed Pamela Hensley and Erin Gray were in the intro too when there names were mentioned. Thank god Henry Silva and Tim O'Connor werent the posing in their silver underware when their names were posted. Great song, movie and series though.

[yethboth]

Who is the name of the man that is narrating this intro? Is it the same man that played Frank Cannon in the TV Series Cannon?

[Borusa1976]

yep, it's him.

[osnaandi]

Composed by Stu Phillips who has also written the Fall Guy-Intro.

[YouPante]

Buck Rogers My Hero of my childhood.

[2Old4Toys]

Best into ever! Buck you stud.

[adronias]

Epic. Cheese, sure. But Epic cheese.

[DeckardWill]

Wilma Dearing... blimey.

[wotdoesthisbuttondo]

ok so 500 yrs from now we're all gonna be mutants whilst the rest dance to disco in a dome eh, good little film that, tv show was'nt too bad either but as a 9yo i got pissed off with that hawk person and them swapping theo and huer for that stupid T shaped robot and other old guy but who cares........

[BlakShadow007]

Are you kidding me? Did they really have a 4 mimute opening on a tv show? No wonder they cut it back.
