I was checking out some Heroes stuff on the NBC website yesterday, when I saw stuff about NBC's Way Back Wednesdays... and what do you know, they have full episodes of Buck Rogers available online!

Buck Rogers was my favorite TV show as a little kid. I remember, vividly, trying my best to be good and finish my supper quickly so I could watch it. And then being glued to the TV for a full hour. It was just like Star Wars, only on TV!

I even had the Buck Rogers hair until 6th grade. (The funny thing is, that's exactly how Jeremiah likes his hair right now.)

Watching it back, I totally see why I was so enthralled with it. It was cheesy, the special effects were bad, the set dressings rather crude (I think I saw a Texas Instruments calculator in one shot), but it was perfectly designed to appeal to little kids who were fascinated with Star Wars.

Also included are the A-Team, Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Battlestar Galactica, Miami Vice, and others. See more at NBC's Way Back Wednesdays.
