Just Started Watching It On TCM


I just started watching this serial on TCM this morning. It is really quite good and the special effects are impressive for that time period. It really seemed to set the stage for the "Star Trek" and other sci-fi adventures of the future.

I was glad to see Henry Brandon in a small role. He later went on to play in the John Ford movies "The Searchers" and "Two Rode Together." I just saw him yesterday on the Encore Westerns Channel in a "Lawman" episode where he played another Indian. Henry certainly played a lot of Indians for a guy who was born in Germany.

Anyway, I enjoyed the first two chapters of "Buck Rogers" and will continue to watch as it progresses in the future weeks.
