BUCK ROGERS COMPLETE SERIES SERIES
The tone and lightness of the show garnered more than a few critics, including Gerard, who wished that the series would take itself more seriously. This trend towards producing camp science fiction even extended to the big screen with the release of Flash Gordon (1980). In Britain there was a golden age of science fiction television with shows like Blake's 7 (1978 – 1981), itself more than a little camp and Space 1999 (1975 - 1977). That is not to say that there were no other shows with camp elements. The tone had more in common with the nineteen thirties Flash Gordon serials than it did with a lot of contemporary shows. The show is deliberately both lightweight and camp. The story was based on the original comic by Philip Francis Nowlan who created the character in the nineteen twenties. Larson had a previous success with Alias Smith and Jones (1971 - 1973) and, of course, Battlestar Galactica (1978 - 1979) and would go on to create and produce many more shows with science fiction elements.
