Rating: NR.
Region: 0
Anamorphic: Yes.

My Advice: Yeah, you'll want this just to show it around.

The world is a dangerous place. Pretty much, no matter where you are, you are susceptible to it sneaking up on you and handing you your ass. That's why we should be grateful for Nick "The" Frost, Chazzie award-winning actor, who in his spare time becomes the Sir David Attenborough for the potentially lethal. He circles the globe seeking out danger, confronts it, smirks at it, and then instructs us, the audience, on what to do in that situation.

Film:
DVD:

Series Created by Glen A. Larson
Starring Gil Gerard, Erin Gray, Tim O'Connor, Thom Christopher, and the voice of Mel Blanc

Features:

  • All thirty-two episodes of the series, including the theatrically released pilot

Released by: Universal.
Rating: NR
Region: 1
Anamorphic: N/A; appears in its original 1.33:1 format.

My Advice: Catch it on cable to tide you over until the Special Edition comes out.

Things always go wrong on trips: you get a flat tire, you miss your connecting flight, or you forget your passport. Or like Captain Buck Rogers (Gerard), you get frozen in cryogenic suspension and trapped in an orbit that doesn't return to Earth for over 500 years. When he awakens, he finds the destination not much better with Earth ravaged by a nuclear holocaust and surrounded by enemies, primarily the Draconian Empire led by the sultry and sexy Princess Ardala (Pamela Hensley).
