Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (series)

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is an American science fiction adventure television series produced by Universal Studios. It ran thirty-seven episodes over two seasons from September 1979 through April 1981 on NBC. 
== Summary ==
Captain William Anthony "Buck" Rogers is a NASA/USAF pilot who commands Ranger 3, a spacecraft launched in May 1987. Due to a life-support malfunction, Buck is accidentally frozen for 504 years before his spacecraft is discovered adrift in the year 2491. The combination of gases that froze his body coincidentally comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for cryopreservation, so his rescuers are able to revive him. He learns that civilization on Earth was rebuilt following a devastating nuclear war which occurred 22 November 1987 and is now under the protection of the Earth Defense Directorate.
