 This was the second time that the character of "Dylan Hunt" was used  in a Roddenberry pilot, the first being "Genesis II" starring Alex  Cord as the lead character. He would show up once more in the  somewhat successful syndicated series "Andromeda" starring former  "Hercule:The Legendary Stories"s" star Kevin Sorbo. There were many  parallels drawn between the character Dylan Hunt and "Buck Rodgers".
