Please do so twice if you're not keen on the sequels that spawned from it 20+ years later. :evilgrin:

2. Here!
We bought our first color TV because we'd seen Star Trek on a color TV in a store window - people were standing around on the side-walk (in the UK) - and we'd never realized that the uniforms were all different colors!

4. I may have to google this, but I'd swear in a TV book covering Trek,
one reason why it survived its first season was because Trek helped bump the sale of color TVs. :)

RCA in particular, as RCA just happened to own NBC at the time...


RCA also invented color television, but if you ask me, PAL is far superior to NTSC... :evilgrin:

3. Yo, HT.
Though I have no beef with the shows which were merely sparks in the afterglow
of the true masterpiece.

Every morning they play them at 6:00 on TV Land. It's the best stuff to watch in the morning :headbang:

I've noticed that Kirk makes out with a humanoid in over half the episodes lol

10. TOS is the greatest TV show ever
And I'm REALLY digging these remastered Treks. The Doomsday Machine was as gorgeous and exciting as any of the Star Trek movies.
