I loved this show as a kid. But listening to the song is making look back to when I came home from Iraq, I can feel what Buck was feeling. Lonely, alone, OUT OF PLACE, not belonging. Hearing this really stirred some emotions in me. Btw. I am sure almost every veteran feels the same thing Thanks for posting this

[@geekademy3012]

I've read in the past (but have not confirmed) that they had the camera looking down into a glass of water with Alka Seltzer added. Optical FX, FTW. ;-)

I think it's supposed to be a ship's view traveling through space. Maybe they used a carbonated beverage to create bubbles to look like the ship was passing through stars in space. Unfortunately, on the DVDs they use a still shot.

[@expandranon]

All these years later, I watch this and realize that they loop the same 2 1/2 seconds of footage after the initial "starburst." I've always wondered how they did that effect, my best guess being they dumped a cup of small ice crystals over an upturned camera.

[@gabrieltaksumho]

Don't blame the dollar. The dollar is an innocent. Evil comes from people with bad intentions. While I surely sympathize and even agree with you about how annoying it is to not be able to see closing credits, that's the decision certain channels made. They'll answer for it eventually. MeTV is great, by the way; they always run a show's closing credits in full.😊

NBC shouldn't have put this opposite "The Waltons". That show was just to good and this was ignored, by those Thursday night viewers.

A great si fi TV show. I really enjoy it on ME-TV Saturday night 11pm East Coast

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

14Hunter Yes, I'll have to check on the original scheduling. Vintage TV reports at the university communications library where I am say that the show was off to a good start. ABC had moved the fading Laverne and Shirley to Thursday to fill-in for Mork (over to Sunday) and that show was pulled out fast...Likely, indeed, that Waltons wound up asserting its supremacy and came out ahead...I had overlooked that. Thankfully NBC stuck with Buck Rogers for one more season, even if Management went for that new format. I've heard that BR was well received in England; did good business surprisingly against Dr Who, which was experiencing a slump at the time...

I do watch the Saturday Night Me Tv lineup on occasion. I always thought that the end credit song was amiss in this case. It's not even remotely space like or futuristic on any level. When I checked out the above clip I was surprised to hear a vocal over the music and thought it was dubbed in for this particular clip by the uploader. The singing ADDS to the cheesiness making it even more unbearable. It's just my opinion.

[@TNTITAN]

It not the end credit song. It was opening song for the movie, and while the open for the tv show doesn’t have the lyrics it is the same song just with a faster tempo

Cheese!? All too many people these days claim to detest "cheese". Well, some of us LOVE cheese. I'm just glad we've got the will to say that now. Once, we were (some of us) intimidated. No reason to be now. We have our cheesecake. The rest can "dine" as they choose.

Agreed. I'm sure he's a truly nice guy. But his singing is just horrid.

[@ehlerhog]

The end credits look like some kind of pyrotechnic trick. Some kind of fireworks hanging over a camera as you can see particles falling onto a lens and some bouncing and dissolving slowed down. Pure hokum attempting to give the appearance of some kind of explosion or movement forward into space. Cheap special effects.

[@TNTITAN]

It was the 80s. The more modern special effects didn’t occur until Star Trek The Next Generation.
