Cinematical has a list of ideas for making movies based on classic 20th century TV shows. A couple of these I'd never seen, but I definitely remember tuning in to see Martin Landau and company fight to survive each week on Moonbase Alpha (Space:1999, pictured).
The list includes Earth 2, The Six Million Dollar Man, and others with video clips of their opening sequences. Here's author Kevin Kelley's take on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century:
An impressive fan-made intro to that show... Link to Cinematical.

We just want to see Buck back on the big screen, where he has never really been (the original TV pilot was edited into a theatrical release). Toss some up and coming young star with good looks and a strong chin in this, and revamp everything. Just keep the cool laser pistols in it, and for god's sake don't let Buck disco.

Please, please stop raping my childhood. There are thousands of great ideas and characters waiting to be made into movies. You don't have to retread everything just because you want to cash in on the name recognition.
Thanks,

P.S. Okay, MAYBE a Buck Rogers movie would be good. But I bet you would ruin it by having an army of Twikis go mad/get possessed and trying to kill Buck and his friends.
That Buck Rogers video only a diehard fan could love.
