One almost became Wilma

[ND7652]

The thing about Gray is that she could COMMAND ATTENTION in a room . And do it in a natural and sincere way .

[madheavy]

Both look beautiful to me.

[marky2112]

Slightly too butch

[starbuck280]

I recently rewatched Vegas in space. I couldn't help but wonder if Judith Clay was wearing the same dress Maren Jensen was wearing in Saga of a star world. Instant turn off.

[STP43FAN1]

What is with people bashing Juanin Clay? She was attractive and was very good in "Vegas In Space."

[humberlick]

They both are beautiful women I would not care anyway.

[JimHadar1]

Judith Clay has all the sexiness of a washing machine. Did you see the way she clomp-clomp-clomped into the room, like she'd been out slopping pigs on the farm? Erin just oooooozed sexiness in every step. And my God, those lovely eyes! How'd ya like to wake up each morning looking into those...excuse me, I need to go take a cold shower now!!!

[barochoc]

It was looks & sexiness they were after. The picked the right one. Both good looking, well actually, Erin was in another league! Cool vid ;)

[Ebonyte1]

Hey, what's the music being used here? Sounds an awful lot like Snatch, but it couldn't be...

[proteus51000]

yeah well thats what it says - i think the theme song for the pilot entions dreams, and the narration mentions dreams for the teatrical release but theres nothing in the series to imply its all a dream.- as far as i know

[proteus51000]

as anyone seen wikipedias entry on this show- it says the intro on the pilot and movie pont to the whole thing being a dream buck has whilst frozen- also the theme tune apparently!

[thanqualhighseer]

erin or judith.

thats a hard one!

[screwdigitaldish]

They are both beautiful but Erin wins she's fabulous.

[Pkpablo3]

Give me Erin any day, edible in her tight suits, lucky tweaky!

[granddad2002]

Judith Clay had a stronger competitive presence. If the writing on Buck Rogers could have been a little stronger for women see would have been a match for Gil. It was Saturday morning with a touch of Magnum PI the first season.

[CaptainBuckRogers]

Judith Clay sure filled out that spandex in the Ceaser Romaro scene. Wow!

[Uglimusashi]

She could be Princess Vespa's mother!

[foolish1193]

@Uglimusashi Nice Spaceballs reference!!!

[filomango69]

judith clay looks like capt. janeway on st: voyager! comes across as rather too masculine for me. i love erin gray in the wilma deering role a lot more!!!

[bc191]

Thanks for the info on this. I was disappointed with the series DVD because there were no interviews, deleted scenes or trivia which usually come with the DVD. It would have been interesting to get some more background info or commentary on the specifics of the series.

[qadmos]

Erin is infinitely hotter and more glamorous than Judith hands down !

[voyage2k]

Didn't Clay die suddenly in the early-80s?

[jayfunk360]

erin>judith

[bibbleblab11]

Sorry everyone I prfered Clay aka Major Landers

[jayce79]

I think Major 'whats her face' was a great addition to the show sometimes. It's a shame she wasn't in it more. But I'm glad this huge mistake never happened. Might have ended the series even earlier.

[Gecko7291971]

Judit Clay was a pretty hot actress, I'll admit

But if Glen Larson had replaced Erin Gray with Judit Clay as Wilma, I think that would've a Tragic Mistake

[jayce79]

@Gecko7291971

Oh I imagine that would have totally destroyed the show. Too replace a major character like that is the last thing you wanna do.

[Gecko7291971]

@jayce79 Agreed

[drbotanus]

I just got done watching this episode and I could tell something was peculiar. I kept wondering why this chick was doing all the things Wilma would normally be doing. At first, I assumed that Erin wasn't in it due to illness or the like. The opening training sequence could have easily been lifted from "Buck Rogers on the Planet of the Slave Girls" since it had similar themes. But then Wilma shows up and introduces

Judiths character. I'm wondering; whats up here.

[drbotanus]

Thanks for the explanation.

I happen to think Judith is very hot in a brunette way.

And she looks more like the original Wilma from the comic to me.

I like em both, Why trade up when you have em both on DVD.

[jayce79]

Both Ladies were super sexy , but I'm so glad this never happened. It just would have been a huge disaster.

[Stargatecrazy]

Judith is...pretty but Erin is SMOKIN'!!

[pastrami1945]

It's ROLE, not roll

[CaptGage]

I'm glad she wasn't replaced, but also glad they at least let Judith be a guest star. She was cute, just not powerful enough to replace Wilma. Got the Buck Rogers box set yesterday and watched J udith's episode, "Vegas In Space" this morning.

[GentlemenPreferHanes]

Clay was very nice, but Erin is always tops in our book. Great editing here; though we really wanted to see Erins Gorgeous Legs!

[gmansi]

Erin Gray win!

[CUNEGRO]

No way!

Erin Gray was so far better than Judith Clay .

[Cloudjumper]

it is not Judit it is Juanin Clay !

She died in 1994 on a heart ailment.

[Starsky5000]

I'm glad they didn't.

[LordBicen]

Judi who?! Erin's the Bombdiggity! Without Question.

[LordBicen]

But Pamela Hensley was my favorite Tail from this show. Why have some Earth Wing Commander when you could have the Princess of the Draconian Empire!? Besides, Pam's boobs were bigger!

[alwaysready09]

Erin is the hottest. no contest. They should of had a catfight in catsuits - with Erin winning of course !

[JanewayJunkie]

Erin Gray was one of the reasons I loved that show. Met her one week ago at Fedcon and she is still as sexy as she used to be. I'm glad they didn't replace her.

[bannedbyMusloons]

Erin Gray FOR TEH WIN XOORRR!!!!! LMAO!

Seriously Erin Gray wins!

[cfx5000]

The other gal was hot but, Erin Gray was ( in my opinion) the hottest woman in the world at that time.

[jamessmedley82]

I'd like to be the meat in a sandwich with Erin Grey and Patricia MacPherson (Knight Rider.)

[wynandmeyering]

Erin Gray had a sparkling personality and smile in front of the camera - Buck Rogers would not have been as popular without her.

[ThundaLippz]

Erin Grey was so hot at the period of life.she had the type of sexiness/beauty ya wood throw her down,fuck as hard and fast as you can,and stick yer tongue in every orifice.

thats the way i felt about her at 9,and the way i feel about her now.

[spicbuddha]

you had me until the "thats how i feel about her now" part...sticking your tongue into 60 something year old orifices...theres just better ways to spend a saturday afternoon

[osgood54]

Judith is cute but doesn't have Erin's personality and sex appeal. I'm glad Erin got the role but wish the series could have lasted longer.

[YTMrVulcan]

I can only say 1 word: AMEN!

[kidfuryca]

Erin the winner for sure, I love Erin's eyes so beautiful

[Apophisguard]

I agree - Erin Grey is the best in the universe.

[garkah]

No competition!! Erin Gray wins hands down!!

[leftyjerker]

Judith probably fits the role of a squandron commander better, but I can't picture anyone but Erin Grey in the role. Judith was pretty, but Erin was a sexpot - face, body, and voice. Her voice alone could give you a boner. ;)

[carnivalofsouls2047]

If Erin Grey pointed to a crowd of people and said, "kill," you can bet there'd be a pile of people out back stacked like cordwood.

[delorme9]

I agree Erin was better

[BlackKnightLost]

You are so right!!

[writerjeff01]

I always heard Judith was the runner-up for the role of Wilma, and they chose Erin Gray over her. I hadn't heard that they had thought of recasting Erin with Judith after the fact.

Anyone sure which is true?

[pukaman2000]

interesting comparison. Erin Gray has much more class, is reserve, and holds herself well. Judith is bouncing her body all over, as my dance instructor would have said "she does not know how to walk"

[spiritualaccent]

both looked very sexy but erin was prettier in the face. both had gorgeous asses and looked yummy in the spandex pants

[ceranko]

Erin Grey was incredible. Ahh my teenage youth, the bedsheets ahhh........

[aztekarrow]

Erin Grey ftw!!

[flamingmarsupial]

There isn't any science fiction on television (or at the movies, where I first saw Ms. Gray) now, that is as innocent and fun as Buck Rogers was then.

I don't know who adolescent boys crush on these days, but it can't be anyone as good as Erin Gray was for us. :)

Come to think of it, Princess Ardala (Pamela Hensley) wasn't too bad herself...

[22centman36]

@flamingmarsupial teen boys probably go for the rhianna and or megan fox type. Funyn thing about meagan fox is that she is literally told by directors, " do not try to act. Just say tthe lines, flash your bare mid riff,, and stand there and look good. Do not try and act meagan,." So she doesnt. But Erin Gray can act circles around meagan and look good.

[Ant1815]

Me and my best friend, we were about 13 at the time when Buck Rogers was first shown, wrote to Erin Gray. We got a hand written letter back from her as well as two signed photos. Really nice of her to do that. She made fans for life :)

[DaveMail42]

There are just certain people for a role.

Tom Selleck couldn't have been Indiana Jones, though he was the first pick; same with Frank Sinatra for Dirty Harry.

Erin Gray just WAS Wilma Deering, that's all.

It's downright spooky, though, how closely Ms. Clay resembles Capt. Janeway.

Makes me wonder who else could've been Seven of Nine???

[lan147xp]

the person posting this should correct her name. It's not judith, It's juanin. Took a little time finding her on the net. She looks very good in the clip. Reminds me of Capt Janeway from Voyager. Hot Hot Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mofrakker]

Erin Gray's prettier, but Judith Clay had a killer bod. Too bad her character didn't appear again. She looked like she could take in a fight or anywhere else...Oh yeah! Gigiddygigiddy.

[WinchesterRanger]

You wouldn't get too excited if you saw her now.

[wynandmeyering]

I would.

[wynandmeyering]

I'm sure she is still a wonderful personality...

[WinchesterRanger]

How would you even know what her personality was like back then, you didn't know her.

[babebutz]

All of the women that I thought were hot as I was growing up... Erin Gray, Farrah Fawcett, Lindsay Wagner, Michelle Phieffer etc.... formed my impressions of what I liked a woman to look like. Thanks to all of you fine ladies, and, I think my wife looks just a little bit like you all!

[brokenrake]

Judith clay looks more like the rough hottie tomboy type. the type I would love to have as a wingman or on my side in a fight. attractive but functional. Erin would make me too goofy all the time durr..(drool) and distract me. I' prolly get laser blasted from inattention to the mission.;)

[mauimudpup]

Judith had a better rack. She looked too much like Ace on Doctor Who though.

[jacko39]

ERIN FTW!! The other girl just doesn't have the personality and spunk at all...

[JustyHakubi]

I think that everyone says Erin based on the fact that she was imprinted on us already. Had Judith originally had the role our positions may well be reversed. With that being said, I still think that Erin's 'serious look' really gives her on edge on Wilma. Therefore I think it worked out well as it did. However, Judith is a very appealing lady. Didn't Pamela Hensley also try out for the role of Wilma? I remember reading that somewhere. Can you imagine Pamela as Wilma and Erin as Ardala... LOL.

[jimbonnie]

I love Erin Grey and met her at a convention in Ohio once. I think that she added alot to the role of Whilma.  I lust after her to this day but using most of my personal criteria I would say Judith made a bigger mark in the evening gown compititon and edges out Erin ever so slightly.

[jtno2]

Erin Gray was one of my earliest crushes. She was the only good thing about the Buck Rogers tv series.

[suntzu1985]

well i must be the lone dissenting voice here because i think that Judith Clay was absolutely HOT but I am extremely partial to brunettes personally and Judith tended to have more curves and a little more naturally feminine look. no offense to Erin Gray who was a model and had that runway fashion model look who luckily broke into acting. one point was that this show absolutely sucked and was horrendous and is typical of the 1970 and nearly ruined science fiction television.

[Blackrook32]

I agree with the video Author here. But Judith Clay did have her charms. I believe the episode was "Vegas in Space". In either case Erin Gray was the "Hottest" of the two. Besides Lynda Carter (Ms. Grey certainly knew how to work that spandex):-P

[hughbreidenbach]

Eye of the beholder.

(But yeah, Erin's cuter!)

[Aaron361970]

Erin Gray won, but judith was hot too. The network so screwed up "Buck Rogers In The twentieth Century," by altering the show in the second season. The network could have had spin-offs, but they cound'nt leave well enough alone.

[tigerslear]

ERIN GRAY oh yeah she WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CUNEGRO]

Absolutly yes!

Erin is the best ever!

[VonGamben]

You can see an error of Buck in this chapter: when they escapes from a room, Buck call Willma to Judith Clay.

[trustobey1016]

judith kinda looks like daphne zuniga

[Bapa25]

Yeah, kinda, but I thought she looked more like Danica Patrick.

[CE750]

Erin Gray, hands down!

[planeguy51]

Judith Clay was lovely, but Erin Grey fit the

role perfectly.

[appazzzz]

YES I DO AGREE NOW FUCK OFF

[tcgtpl]

Erin Gray and Lynda carter were my first two fantasy women growing up. Buck Rogers and Wonder Woman were my favorite live action TV shows.

[mkfrant]

No way Erin could be replaced.

God save the queen of all masturbations!!!

[saskabush2006]

A correction - the actress' name was Juanin Clay, not Judith. And, sadly, she died of a heart ailment back in 1995, which is a shame. There was another "Wilma tryout" episode in which Morgan Brittany played a similar character.

[Aaron361970]

Thats so sad. I just looked up Juanin Clays "statistics," in "IMBD." She was a knock-out...she died so young. Hopefully Erin lives a lot longer stays in shape and keeps making movie/television appearances.

[Aaron361970]

Awesome...both were awesome.

[Creomortis]

im 22 and i watched buck rogers when i was young, and i have to say she was so damn foxy! I still think shes fine today, if only i was older back then...

[Tigersag1974]

Where's the bassline from?

[Starhawk73]

Yeah, Judith is a very lovely woman, filled out that white flight suit nicely but Erin looked soooooo much better in her UED (spandex catsuit) uniform! Judith looked like a space shuttle crew member in hers. All points go to Erin....world champion sexy!!

[lilmtnpeaks]

Erin Gray all the way.

[SpaceLady79]

Erin wasn't to be replaced, they just had (had) the other actress in mind also for the role of Wilma. And btw, her name is Juanin. Also it's "role" not "roll", haha. And I am also glad that Erin was chosen! ;)

Interesting choice on a video.

[proteus51000]

@SpaceLady79 whats with wikipedias entry for the show saying te intro for the pilot and movie points to the whole series being a dream buck has whilst frozen?

[SpaceLady79]

@proteus51000 I have no clue.

I don't think I've read that.
