Space Rockers is the nineteenth episode of Season 1 of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. It premiered 21 February 1980.

In syndication and streaming, "Space Rockers" is sometimes listed as the twenty-first episode of the season. This happens when the episode "Planet of the Slave Girls" is split into two episodes.

Summary[]

Buck becomes involved with a futuristic rock group named Andromeda when a series of riots break out at all of their concerts. Buck's investigation finds that the band's manager, Lars Mangros, has been secretly encoding the group's music with behavior-altering sounds that create the riots. Buck is forced to convince Andromeda not to play at galactic-wide broadcast from the space station Musicworld, to prevent Mangros from causing chaos throughout the galaxy.

Trivia[]

  • Andromeda plays a song called "Odyssey, Part 1" by Johnny Harris. It was released as a 7" vinyl single in 1980. The B-side was an alternate version called "Odyssey, Part 2".
  • Named by Internet Review of Science Fiction as "The Worst Science Fiction TV Episode Ever"[1]
