Buck Rogers fires a laser blaster standing with his crew and robot against a deep space planetary backdrop
This vibrant retro sci-fi promotional art features the Buck Rogers cast in crisp white space uniforms, positioned against a starry backdrop with a striped gas giant, Earth-like planet, and hovering starfighter. The lead character aims a glowing red laser pistol, with the iconic Twiki robot and female co-star standing beside him in classic 1980s TV styling. The mood is bold, action-focused, with bright nostalgic tones characteristic of vintage space opera media.

Entry in the Favourite TV Shows theme on BudgetPixel.

Here is another of my favorite science fiction shows from when I was around 10 - 11 yo.

I had a friend in class - real tiny, who always played that robot. Did a good voice impersonation, too. He was hilatious. I hadn's seen him in decades -since elementary svhool .then about 10 years ago, at work, a guy - i was hotel gate security - gets out of his car, comes to me and greets my by name. It was him. He recognized me at onec, but I wouldn't have if he hadn't told me who he was: He was VERY changed

His impersonation sounds so fun. It's great that you could see him again. Did he get taller? some people grow later than others. Is that why you didn't recognize him?
