The biggest mistake they made was making Buck Rogers a Star Trek rip off in season 2, thereby eliminating Princess Ardala. That could have been a long running series just based on the conflict between Earth, and the Draconian Empire. Plus many more years of seeing space bikinis...

[@control_the_pet_population]

@@deangullberry5148 I agree.. and this can at least partially be blamed on Gil Gerard. He wanted the show to take a more serious tone and felt Buck was too much of a comedic wise-ass.

Erin was a beautiful woman. I met her at San Diego Comic Con a long time ago. I was having an evil laugh off with Clive Revill. Surrounded by several actors making personal appearances at the con. Erin was leaning over my left shoulder and she was pressed against my back. Her presence had an effect on me. I turned my head to look at her and said, "You are killing me here!" It was only way I could think to compliment her and let her know the effect she was having on me. She was very gracious and considerate.

I was glad to hear she stayed very loyal to her kids, when you lose time with your Son daughter or niece that’s time you don’t get back! Just makes me love and respect more of what she has accomplished over the years.

Often forgotten is Erin's role in Six Pack with Kenny Rogers and Born Beautiful (TV Movie) with Lori Singer about a model who becomes "too old to sell things" and becomes a fashion photographer, seeing the fashion world from behind the lens. That, to me, was her best role. She frequents the San Diego Comic-con and has always been great with her fans.

[@control_the_pet_population]

Nobody remembers Six Pack... shit, I hardly remember it beyond that one summer when it got heavy rotation on HBO in the mid 80s... but what I do remember was watching it every time I stumbled upon it while flipping channels just because of a few scenes of Erin Gray in lingerie. (In hindsight, I doubt it's worth seeking out just for those few brief scenes... I can't imagine it's anything that revealing... but hey... I was like 13 years old at the time. )

[@rongendron8705]

In 1951, at age 5, I was on an early t.v. show "The Buster Crabbe Show" & interviewed with two other older boys by Buster! He starred as both "Buck Rogers" & "Flash Gordon" in movie serials of the late 1930's & early 1940's! To me, the "Buck Rogers" t.v. show was a pale imitation of those serials, but Erin Gray was beautiful enough to continue watching!

[@goodoldbubba6620]

It's a shame that the show ended too soon. So much could have been done with it, but somebody decided to take it down the very wrong path.

[@francisdhomer5910]

Wrong path? Hell they were tripping over uncleared unmarked rubbish strewn territory. Want didn't help in our area if I'm remembering correctly is the night it was supposed to be on it kept getting pre empted for hockey. I know Buffalo is not a major area for Nelson but still we would have lost a lot. We were part of the Nelson family back then so we weren't able to give a mark for viewing. Not sure when that weeks episode was shown, sometimes it was Saturday afternoon or Sunday late or whenever they wanted to put it on. For you younger people this was an flawed way of determining TV ratings. I think there was 1200 of us across the country. It's been a long time so anyone with better knowledge jump in. And to our younger folks, yes this was a stupid way to count people watching a show. We even thought so at the time.

[@dalethelander3781]

The blame falls onto John Mantley and Calvin Clements. Glen A. Larson understood the character and the first season was a brightly colored comic strip romp. Mantley and Clements wanted to make a new Star Trek.

My first experience with Buck Rogers was in 1982. I was in tech school and on one of the movie nights, they screened one of the episodes in a place called "The Fish Bowl." After that, I tried to catch every rerun I could find. My parents would never let me watch it when I was living with them. I've seen Star Trek Continues. I'm going to have to watch that again. I did not recognize her in the series. I did see Grant Imohara (from MythBusters) in his roll as Sulu. I was also fascinated by the fact that James Doohan's son played Scotty.

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidHayes56]

In Star Trek Continues, Erin was a highly ranked officer that contacted Kirk from Star Fleet via a video transmission. I don't recall if they ever had her off world with the crew. She was rather stern with Kirk as I remember. She might have had more of a role casting actors for the series than as an actor in the series.

[@johnlanigan5532]

OMG! I'm still in love with Colonel Deering.

[@DavidHayes56]

One of the luckiest days of my life happened due to a failed business venture. I was doing paperwork at home and didn't get up to turn off the TV when a local horror movie host started his show. At some point he announced he would be appearing at a convention in Cleveland, Ohio with actors from some of my favorite TV shows. I told myself that I would treat myself to making the 50 mile trip there and back if I got enough work done. I was surprised that I hadn't heard anything about the convention from any other source and couldn't even verify online that the convention was actually happening. The next day, I was in downtown Cleveland looking for the building that the convention was to be in. Big events were going on but there was nothing about the convention. I expected that I had wasted my time. But sure enough, there was a sign by the elevator and up I went to the Con Tiki something or other. I was shocked that there was a convention with maybe 5 or 10 visitors - lots of staff but almost no one there to buy tickets. Celebrities sat at tables with no one to talk to unless there was another celebrity table close by. I would talk for what felt like too long with a celebrity and excuse myself thinking I didn't want a celebrity to tell me to go away. The opposite happened - they called me back to keep talking with them. There were some I knew from movies that I didn't even approach because I didn't feel I had anything to say. When I saw Erin Gray I said hello and asked if she had been on this one short lived series I remembered. She hadn't been but she didn't take offense. We talked quite a while and she asked what made me come to this convention when so few others decided to. I told her I wanted to talk to some of the "Smallville" cast members and say more to Michael Rosenbaum about a series of stories I wrote for an alternate universe version of Smallville that I had hoped the WB (later the CW) would launch. She said she would like to hear about it. "Really?!" She said yes, so I gave her a very detailed pitch after which she said that she was impressed and to not give up on my dreams. Edward James Olmos (from Battlestar Galactica) overheard and said something like "Kid, never share an idea with anyone in the business unless you have an ironclad contract. Otherwise, they'll steal your idea and say it was theirs and you won't see a penny from it." I told him that I would just be thrilled to have my idea used whether I got any money from it or not. He replied that I would care eventually when someone was getting wealthy on my ideas. Anyway, Erin was so kind and unbelievable attentive. I'm used to being the guy that no one even realizes is around and she made me feel like she considered me to be worthy of her time. Of course, she had time to kill that day. I later found out that the person that organized the convention had thought that the people he had rented the space from would be handling all the promotions for the event but they had no intention to. So there were no print ads and the only reason it was on TV when I was watching was a local TV host's self promotion (and he didn't even show up!). For me, it was like winning the lottery and I don't think my ticket even cost me that much ... probably less than $25.

[@DavidHayes56]

By the way, she was wearing granny glasses so I wonder how many of the few that were at the event even knew who she was.

[@jasonthewatchmansson8873]

That, sir, is a great story. The organizer's screw-up basically gave you a unique opportunity to have your own private convention. Two questions: 1) Did you talk with Ms. Grey about Buck Rogers or Silver Spoons? 2) Did you talk with EJO about BSG or any of his other work? I have always wondered what EJO thought about the (in my view, disastrous) shift in BSG in the last 1 1/2 seasons to stories about Cylons and stories more suitable for LOST (mysteries, puzzles, mysticism, etc.)

[@DavidHayes56]

@@jasonthewatchmansson8873 I don't remember what discussions I might have had with them about their shows. It probably wasn't much. I wasn't expecting to see either of them so I was totally unprepared. And the only question about Erin's past work that I remember was if she was on a failed series about 3 women trying to make it as a singing group. Since she wasn't, that misfire probably kept me from asking her much about past roles. She was more into what she was doing at that point in her life which was managing other talent.

[@craigtalbert8248]

I never saw her acting or modeling however in my 35 years working in film and television it was common for studios to sign prospects to 7 year contracts mainly for control not only did they have you at a bargain price to have you work on select projects over seven years they could also keep you from working for any one they felt were competitors of theirs. For some actors it helped their careers however mostly it could kill your career. I noticed you didn’t have any scenes where she was speaking (for legal reasons I assume ) The studios definitely Sold sex appeal and that was no accident either I guess they knew more people would watch if they dressed her with her assets showing all the time. (As you said leaving nothing to the imagination). One day I’d like to see some of her work. Thank you for this video

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Erin several years ago here in upstate NY. She is not only beautiful, personable, and very down to earth. I enjoyed meeting Erin, her husband, and their son.🤗👍

and very down to earth

She was also good in the Movie Six Pack, starring Kenny Rodgers

[@Laceykat66]

A movie that is too forgotten.

[@christophercringle896]

She and Primcess Ardala were my puberty...lol!!! She was a great actress as well, especially in the movie.

[@GenghisVern]

Really enjoyed her performance in The Guild

I was only 8-10 when Buck Rodgers was on TV. Where I fell in love and had a huge Crush on Ms. Gray when she was on Silver Spoons. 12-16 yrs old I watch that show all the time. Didnt miss a show and if she was not in it I was not happy.

Good Grief! I was born in Hawaii in 1956. She is only 6 years older than me!

Hello again Facts Verse 👋 I used to watch Buck Rogers all the time, and really liked it. I’m sure that there was a lot of guys that had the hots for her because of what she always wore. Thank you for another great video, and I hope you and your subscribers have a wonderful day. 🌤

Not just what she wore, naturally good looking and dare I say sexy

[@cimbakahn]

I liked Buck Rogers! I need to find a place where i can binge watch all the episodes.

[@mind-numbingtasks1575]

When Buck Rogers was first aired I was about 10 years old, and maybe it sounds crazy, but I had a huge crush on Erin Gray. I still think she is uniquely beautiful.

[@FactsVerse]

Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Erin. Which of Erin's roles appealed to you the most?

[@charlesphillips1468]

Darn! I was still hoping after all of these years... :-)

[@eddieo6466]
