¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesHenry Brandon hoped to play chief villain Killer Kane but was cast as Kane's henchman Captain Laska instead. When Brandon complained to his agent about this, he was told, "The lead heavy works for one day, the henchman works for three weeks. Which part did you say you wanted again?"
- PifiasChapter One: It was never explained how Buck, just arrived in "The Hidden City", learned to fly a spaceship and the use of "modern" equipment.

[last lines]
Buck Rogers: What's this about a Kane squadron?
Wilma Deering: A Kane squadron? Buck, I don't understand.
Buck Rogers: You don't understand? I just got a message from here that you've sighted another Kane squadron.
Wilma Deering: But I didn't...
George 'Buddy' Wade: I did that, Buck. I, uh... I knew Wilma would want to congratulate you, but she couldn't because was on duty. So, I sorta fixed things up.
Buck Rogers: Well, from now on, you can be my official fixer, Buddy.
George 'Buddy' Wade: Well, I guess the first thing an official fixer should know is when he's not wanted.
Buck Rogers: Yeah.

Anthony Wade's Killer Kane is a colorless villain, lacking the panache of Charles Middleton's gleefully evil Ming the Merciless. He badly needs a slinky, sinister Ardala Valmar to spice things up. Constance Moore is a competent Wilma Deering but there's no chemistry between her and Crabbe. Moore lacks the passion Jean Rogers exhibited as Dale Arden in the "Flash" series or the breezy camaraderie Erin Gray displayed as Wilma Deering in the 1980s "Buck Rogers" television show. C. Montague Shaw is OK as Doctor Huer but doesn't have nearly as much to do as Frank Shannon's Doctor Zarkov (again, from the "Flash" serials).
After an exciting start, the serial falls down in the latter six episodes. It is typical of the genre to have a late episode replay scenes from earlier in the series to pad things out. But "Buck Rogers" does this twice. Serial plots also tend to have a lot of captures, escapes, and re-captures. "Flash Gordon" broke the monotony by having these occur in a variety of ways in a variety of locations. "Buck Rogers" has only two destinations: Earth and Saturn. Both planets apparently share the same rocky desert terrain. Doctor Huer has only one technological gimmick to help Buck. The heroes get stranded by crashed spaceships seemingly every other episode. And Kane's goons never tumble to the fact that it's Rogers driving that rocket cruiser reported missing from their hangar.
Given it's charismatic hero and quality special effects, "Buck Rogers" could have equaled or surpassed "Flash Gordon" if it had had stronger writing or more energetic secondary characters. Unfortunately, it has neither.
