It's a bit of a silly show, but the 1st season is fun.
I agree that the ships designs are excellent.
I just found out that Buck Rogers was going to make a comeback, but the IP rights are mired ... |

Laugh-in was part of the comedy renaissance of the '60s but suffered from the US tv dogma of the variety show.
While quirky and silly I don't really remember it being truly ground breaking.

Yup, the opening scene was great!

But I love all 3 movies, for what they are.

I miss the 20,000 leagues ride in DisneyWorld. Corny as it was, it worked.

I remember watching this movie at the drive in with my friends in an old VW.

I admit it, I loved ALL three Austin Powers movies.
I like 2 the best, but all 3 have charm and humor . . . it is high school humor, but it is still well done.
