60s and 70's sci fi

Have ya ever watched a 60's or 70's sci-fi show and notice the wierd things other than the campy effects like Styrofoam boulders, seeing the same backgrounds over and over and over again and realize the the scripts are hokey. I guess the thing that really gets me is the sound effects. I was watching "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" on saturday afternoon killin time before i had to go catch my bus to work and i realized that the sounds the guns made and the sound the ships made when taking off, sounded EXACTLY like the sounds of the blasters and launch sequences from "Battlestar Galatica" and then it hit me like a bolt of lightning. The guy who made "Battlestar Galactica" ALSO did "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". None other than Glen A Larson, who would go on do other famous shows like "Knight Rider" "Magnum PI", "Automan" and "The Fall Guy"
