anyone out there got a show they loved as a kid? a favorite show that you waited for from week to week and got excited while watching the new episode? yeah … me too …
and tonight, when i saw that my tivo is starting to figure me out, i remembered that tingly tense feeling i used to get when i watched *dreamy sigh* buck rogers on tv.
it was kinda like a weird feeling of de ja vu … where i felt like i knew the characters, but couldn’t remember much about them .. kinda like they’re somewhat distant relatives that you don’t see very much, but kinda think about now and then? i mean .. you’d probably go visit them in the hospital (were they to be hospitalized, god forbid) – as long as they were in a hospital that was within reasonable driving distance … but, you probably wouldn’t go much more than an hour or so out of your way to wish them well .. you’d maybe think about sending flowers, but probaby you never would .. yeah … anywhoot, it was that kinda de ja vu ..
so, but then… the more i watched, the more bizzare and ridiculous it was .. tacky, cheesy and terribly amusing … i mean … really … what the fuck is this:
i mean, is this not just the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen? i tell ya, it sure is up there on my list .. the dude’s wearing a dalmation skin hat and a fun fur fashion shrug over a crazy plastic muscle suit .. talk about conflicted! zoiks!
and, the storyline didn’t really make a ton of sense … the acting was kinda rough, and the dialog was downright silly .. but it felt so comfortable to watch .. i was so intregued and wished my tivo had recoreded more …
seems like i remembered more action and humor .. there was more flying around in little ships, combat with guns .. and the robot was much funnier and quirky .. the robot was harldy in the eipsode i saw tonight, and mostly buck and the gang just walked around and fell down a little bit … there was almost a war, but buck got the admiral-who-can-take-his-head-off-and-carry-it-around-with-him to the church on time .. *sigh*
hopefully 3 thumbs will help tivo expedite the personality process and bring me some more buck & co .. that’d be pretty sweet ..
its way past my bedtime… gnite folks and go fuck yourselves san diego
Didn’t he have that whole intense stare thing like Antonio Banderas? Only, like, he’s an eagle or an owl or something?
yeah … He was supposed to be Hawk … er .. at least his character’s name was Hawk .. but i sense you know what i’m talking about here ..
Hmmm….I remember Hawk…..I used to watch Buck Rogers all the time after school. I thought Hawk was the coolest!
