To the last comment before mine, you are so wrong, will shatner and leonard nimoy and their buddys blow tng away, please, you are obviously a child who knows nothing about acting, go take some classes and then come back and write a real review or comment. No hard feelings kiddo, but I think you wrong.

To one who grew up with The Next Generation (TNG), the original Star Trek is quite a disappointment. Episode after episode features a teenage boy's wet dream of a female who tries to seduce the captain, doesn't develop plot ideas beyond a trivial level, and relies on mysterious equipment failures to keep the show dragging on until moments before the end. TNG is better produced, has more and better actors, and its plots have far more depth and variety.

Again, loved the makeover - the colors were vibrant & the Enterprise looked great. Kirk's voice over the musical theme in the opening sequence was better recorded (vs. Season 1 when he sounded like he was in a distant tunnel). Despite the outdated costumes and sets, the stories and their message are universal and stand the test of time. One special feature worth watching is the episode called "Trials and Tribble-ations" on Disc 5. This is a full episode of Deep Space 9 which combined scenes from the original series' Tribble episode with a more current episode of Deep Space. The technology makes the splicing seamless. Compared to another sequel series, Star Trek Next Generation, the original series had many more episodes that took place on a distant planet vs. on-board the Enterprise. I liked this much more since it leaves much more room for the imagination...and in the end, isn't that what Sci-Fi and Star Trek was about - imagination?

This was almost the final season. The show didn't do terrifically in the ratings & NBC was going to cancel it, but a huge letter-writing campaign from ardent fans saved it for one more season. For those who don't know, there was even a Saturday morning cartoon version in the '70s, complete with the voices of most of the original cast & involvement with some of the writers/producers, including D.C. Fontana.

A TV series that was way-ahead of its time. The special effects were top-of-the-line for the mid-1960's. Altough the special effects are dated, this is still the best, "Trek".

Another great season! Same excellent casting; more interesting and entertaining plotlines, especially the Trouble with Tribbles episode. It's hard to believe this show is almost 45 years old. It's a real credit to the vision and creativity of Gene Roddenberry. The 21st century touch-ups were very well done and didn't detract from the series at all. Highly enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to watching season three!
