You gotta take note that back then there was only 3 networks on TV.
ABC, CBS and NBC.
PBS was basically about nothing and was mainly like a public access channel.
Cable was in its infancy and only a small number of folks in America had it and they were mainly folks who lived out in the middle of nowhere and were usually to far out to pull in the TV signal with their rabbit ear antennas.
Majority of the hit (corny) shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s could no way in hell get the green light today with so many channels out there and with options on the Internet.

George Clooney To Reboot Buck Rogers for 21st Century?
Tom 15 Hours Ago
It does sound as though George Clooney is going to reboot Buck Rogers but it doesn’t sound as though he’s going to star in the series, at least at this point. Things can change so quickly that it might be that he’ll want some small part in it at some point, but as of right now it feels as though things are being pushed forward just to get them off the ground. It’d be nice to say that fans of the series might be getting excited over this but one has to really think of how many Buck Rogers fans there still are since the initial series came out in 1979 and only lasted until 1981. Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of Buck Rogers fans out there that remember the show from their childhood days, and there are some that have still held onto their keepsakes and memories, but striking up the kind of interest that this show is going to need is going to require a pretty healthy budget and a lot of interest that hasn’t been seen outside of a Comic-Con in quite some time. With the current technology and a wide range of actors to pick from though it’s easy to think that the project should be able to find some way to be a little more impressive and possibly even come up with a convincing storyline.
But it has to be said that it does feel at times as though those in control of what we watch are doing their best to bring back a past that they believe was far more popular than it’s been for quite some time. That’s not to say that it can’t work, but there is the idea that bringing back old favorites can backfire, as it’s happened more than once in the last decade or two. But there’s a chance for every old story to be remade anew simply because the technology is better, the acting is kind of better depending on who’s doing the writing, who’s selected for each part, and how the project comes together. Buck Rogers might actually have a better shot at doing something productive this time around since it’s easy to imagine that everything that was supposed to be so impressive back in the day could really come together as it should in the current era. The effects alone would make this show worth watching, but adding in a story that people are going to want to watch will do wonders since it’s bound to drum up some genuine interest among fans that are ready to see this come to light.
A Buck Rogers reboot was attempted over a decade ago, but nothing came of it for a number of reasons. It might not have been the right time, it could have been something to do with budget issues, who knows. But Clooney taking over this project tends to make a lot of people feel that it could work this time around and that it might be the right time for it. So many older ideas have been brought forward again throughout the years that it’s easy to wonder what might be coming next and whether or not it’s been seen for a while or even heard of by those that might be able to shed some light on the subject. One thing that’s evident is that nostalgia is playing a big part in today’s entertainment and it’s being pushed in a very big way as it has been for the last several years. Some might say that this is bound to happen in cycles and they’d be right, but it does feel as though the need for bringing old ideas to the forefront has been increasing in popularity over the years and is bound to hit a crescendo at some point since one has to think that there are only so many ideas that can be revamped before people are going to hope for more new, innovative ideas to come forward. On that note however it does feel as though things have been fairly balanced as there are new ideas coming out that either haven’t been seen before or have been adapted in such a way that a lot of people don’t even realize that they come from much older ideas.
There is a lot of hope that Clooney’s name being attached to this project will do some good, but it’s hopeful as well that there will be actors found that can really launch this thing and get people talking since word of mouth could go a long way with this idea. We’ll be keeping an eye on things to find out how the story is progressing, but it’s fair to say that any forward movement is going to be a bit slow for now.

George Clooney, fresh from The Midnight Sky, is set to exec produce the television reboot of Buck Rogers.
Clooney and his Smokehouse co-founder Grant Heslov have joined the project, which is being written by comic book artist and Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan. Legendary is the studio.
Although no acting deals are in place, reports suggest that Clooney is being lined up to star.
The pair will exec produce with Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford and Flint Dille, the grandson of John F. Dille, the publisher of the original Buck Rogers comic strip.
It is based on the character created by Philip Francis Nowlan in 1928, which was later turned into a television series – Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for NBC. The show ran for two seasons from 1979.
It centered around Captain William Anthony “Buck” Rogers, played by Gil Gerard, a pilot, whose spacecraft malfunctions and Rogers is accidentally frozen for over 500 years and transported into a world where Earth was rebuilt following a nuclear war.

‘Buck Rogers’ Reboot TV Series Will Star George Clooney
Posted on Friday, January 29th, 2021 by Chris Evangelista
George Clooney is gearing up to head to the 25th century for Legendary’s Buck Rogers TV series reboot. It was announced last December that Brian K. Vaughan, the writer of comic books like Y: The Last Man and Saga, was handling the script, and now Clooney is on board to executive produce and likely star in the series. Legendary is hoping to launch an entire media franchise built around Buck Rogers, a character who first appeared in the 1928 novella Armageddon 2419 A.D. and then went on to feature in a radio show, a film serial, a television series, and more.
Back in October 2020, it was reported that Legendary Pictures and producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford were hoping to revive classic pulp hero Buck Rogers via a film, “a prestige television series as well as an anime series, giving audiences a 360-look at heroics sets in the 25th century.” In December of that year, word came that Brian K. Vaughn had been tapped to write the script for the TV series. Now, that TV series has some major star power, as The Wrap is reporting that George Clooney will executive produce and star.

Buck Rogers was created by Philip Francis Nowlan in a novella that first appeared in the Amazing Stories pulp magazine in 1928. In the original story, Buck Rogers was a U.S. Air Force pilot who awoke from a 500-year sleep, Rip Van Winkle-style, to find a very changed world. After the pulp story came a comic strip, a radio show, a film serial, and a TV series. The TV series came about after the pilot for the show was released into theaters in 1979 and became a box office hit.
Since then there have been various attempts to bring Buck Rogers back to the big screen. At one point, comic book writer and artist Frank Miller was attached to helm. But after Miller’s first solo directorial effort, The Spirit, flopped hard, his Buck Rogers movie quietly went away. By 2015, Don Murphy got involved and announced plans to produce a feature, but legal battles over copyright claims kept things tied up in litigation. But by 2020, things looked clear, and Murphy was still on board as a producer along with Susan Montford, Flint Dille, and Legendary Entertainment.
Clooney is obviously no stranger to TV – he got his start in the medium, and it was the series ER that truly launched him to fame. That said, it’s interesting to see him return to TV at this stage of his career. Clooney certainly has that square-jawed pulp hero charisma about him, so he’s bound to have some fun with this role.

Armageddon 2419 A.D., first appearance of "Buck Rogers"
JASON WEISBERGER 5:59 AM FRI JUN 28, 2013
As a kid I loved Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. What an incredible TV series! TWIKI, Buck, Wilma, Doctor Theopolis and some incredible dance moves (that NBC appears to have taken down from YouTube) grabbed my attention and promised an amazing future for a resilient human race.
In my 20s I discovered Philip Francis Nowlan's Armageddon 2419 A.D.
First appearing in Amazing Stories, August 1928 issue, we are introduced to Anthony Rogers. Aliens have interbred with the Chinese and offered them amazing technology! Naturally, they use it to take over the world. The Han chase a proud and independent American culture into the brush and then live a life of luxury. Anthony, through a mining accident, was trapped in a state of suspended animation sometime shortly after WWI. He is awoken by shifting earth and rejoins the new American culture, bringing with him experience, tactics and an outsider's point of view that help to turn the tide. Unlike the TV show the entire story takes place on Earth. No Hawk.
A second story in the series, The Airlords of Han, was published in 1929.
They are nothing like the TV series and nothing like the comics but they are authentic Buck Rogers. He even gets the girl.
If they ever reboot Buck Roger's in the 25th Century for tv again... Think they'll have a scene like this??

Hopefully that won't happen. I would rather the guy who the fanboys suggested. My only question is since Clooney will be playing Buck Rogers will he get fat as the seasons go on like Gil Gerard?If Marvel approaches him to play Reed Richards in the MCU it wont be

Legendary Remains Confident in ‘Buck Rogers’ Rights After Latest Legal Threat
Company was hit with a cease and desist letter Tuesday over planned reboot with George Clooney
Umberto Gonzalez | February 2, 2021 @ 6:51 PM
Legendary Pictures maintains it is the rightful owners of the “Buck Rogers” rights following the latest legal threat from the Nowlan Family Trust, who claims they own the rights.
Legendary was hit with a cease and desist letter on Tuesday over the planned reboot with George Clooney, which was announced last week.
“We have secured the rights we need to proceed with our project and the company will not comment any further on these baseless claims,” Legendary said via a spokesperson. “This same party has been claiming for years that they have rights which they do not have and have been trying to inhibit projects based on rights they do not legally control.”
Clooney and Grant Heslov will executive produce a new television adaptation of “Buck Rogers” for Legendary under their Smokehouse banner. “Transformers” producer Don Murphy and Susan Montford will produce via their Angry Films banner along with Flint Dille, the grandson of the original Buck Rogers creator.
“The Nowlans are not even the Nowlans, they are McDevitts, and they have been trying to con their way into Buck Rogers for a generation,” Murphy told TheWrap in a statement. “Fortunately, the courts have recognized their game playing and they don’t have a legal leg to stand on.”
Michael Ross, Legendary Entertainment’s EVP Business Affairs received the cease and desist letter, obtained by TheWrap, that says the Nowlan Family Trust has a deal with Skydance to exploit the Buck Rogers IP. According to an insider with knowledge of the Skydance project, no talent is involved and currently attached.
The project is based on the characters and concepts introduced in the 1928 novella “Armageddon 2419 A.D.” novella by Philip Francis Nowlan. The story followed “Anthony Rogers,” a mining engineer from the 20th century who awakens from suspended animation after 500 years to find himself in the middle of a planetary war.
Nowlan and Chicago newspaperman John F. Dille developed the concept into a serialized comic strip in 1929, with the character’s named changed from Anthony to “Buck.” With the name changed to “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century,” the concept was essentially Rip Van Winkle in the future, with a modern-day man learning to cope 500 years in the future to a world that is no longer recognizable to him.
It was subsequently adapted for comic books, movie serials, radio dramas, and eventually the fondly remembered 1979-1981 television series.
