    I knew there were some issues late in its run, but I'd never heard the Gerard for Majors thing.
    I recently began chipping my way through S1 of
    Buck Rogers
    , and while the show is not the best, Gerard is likeable and cut from a similar mold as Majors' take on Steve Rogers. Gerard doesn't have Majors' range (he'd never be able to pull off the charming 180 Majors did as Colt Seavers for instance), but he could've capably pulled off Steve Rogers, who was a rather undemanding character dramatically outside the first movie and a handful of episodes.

      Lol,
      Steve Austin
      NOT
      Steve Rogers
      . But otherwise I do like what you said (typed actually).
      I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature,
      .

          I would assume they would have had to introduce Gerard as a new character and not Steve Austin. Replacing the actor playing Rudy Wells is one thing, but the title character probably wouldn't have worked.

            Lee was threatening to leave the show over money matters and of course they thought they would try to see if they could find a replacement and Mr Gerard's name did come up but they settled the dispute about money, but Lee wanted out the show and was glad when it was cancelled. The studio cut back on production costs in the last two seasons and Lee knew the quality was going down and others matters also were causing a big rift with studio that lasted many years after the show ended

                  Harrison Ford was also considered. However, the producers did not think he was a convincing action hero.
                  Wonder how that panned out.

                      Yeah, but he chose to honour his contract for Magnum PI.

                          I wouldn't have liked it too much. I think they were good in their own roles. Charming. Irreplaceable. They were unique. They were cool.
