Welcome to the space adventures of the future, as predicted in the 1930s.

Buck Rogers:

Buck first aired in 1932 as a 15 minute serial adventure, and became one of the first hit children’s programs on the radio. This radio program was based on the hit newpaper comic strip of Buck Rogers. Buck is a 20th Century man caught in mine, and wakes up in the 25th Century. He joins up with the lovely Wilma Deering and the scientific Doctor Heur. (for those who remember the 70s tv show, luckily there is no Tweekie the talking robot.) The villain is Killer Kane. Other characters include Aardala Valmar (evil) and Black Barney (good).

As a pioneering children’s show, the program went through several changes. It started in 1932 as a 15 minute serial, the show went off the air in 1936, but came back in 1939, on three times a week, but then in 1940 it was only on Saturdays in a half hour format. The show ended in 1947. (When Buck finally catches Killer Kane, and the ultimate battle commences, and the final fight takes almost the entire episode.)



Flash Gordon:

The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon radio program started in 1935, based on the hit newspaper comic strip. Flash is the great All-American star athlete, who gets shanghaied into an interstellar trip with the beautiful Dale Arden, and Doctor Zarkov. (Please disregard any resemblance to Buck Rogers, the beautiful Wilma Deering, and Doctor Heur – it’s just a coincidence, I’m sure.) They fly through space to the idealic planet of Mongo, except for Mongo’s cruel tyrant, Ming the Merciless. The last episode of Flash Gordon, which, sadly we do not have, has Flash meeting up with Jungle Jim, (Another coincidence, that Jungle Jim and Flash Gordon are both properties own by Hearst.)

Both Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers have remained in American pop culture, there have been cheesey movie serials, comic books, radio programs, cartoons, movies, there must have been breakfast cereals, toys, and more.
