Entry in the Favourite TV Shows theme on BudgetPixel.

**Buck Rogers in the 25th Century** --- Aired in South Africa in my high school years. Growing up in South Africa we had to take Afrikaans through school. It was the other official language with English before the end of Apartheid. As an immigrant, I always struggled a little. Luckily for me this show was dubbed into Afrikaans, so contributed to my education. And not harmed by Wilma in her outfits to fuel those teenage boy fantasies :grin

Nothing wrong. I loved Star Trek when I was little and then got reacquainted when they started to make the feature films.

I expect it aired long after the original broadcast in South Africa.
