That is really fun seeing that Paramount TV ad. I was lucky because both of my parents really liked it so it was just what they tuned in to often. For a while it was on twice in the afternoon, but on different channels. The first broadcast was an L.A. station, I believe channel 13, and that...

Here are two 1971 TV Guide ads for Star Trek in syndication. The first one is representational, but the second one appears to be confused with Lost in Space perhaps (and what is that emblem coming out of the K? Is that supposed to be the shape of the badge insignia?) It is impressive that the...

Wow, I did not know that Bob Furmanek found the missing 35mm negatives.

I happened to drive by Walmart and could not resist stopping in to buy The Enterprise. And Samantha was on the impulse buy display by the register so I had to have her, too. I am definitely a 1960s kid.

I saw this on Facebook - from an April 1976 Alabama edition TV Guide. The Man Trap in syndication and Lincoln Enterprises advertising on the same page. Dang, brings back memories. And I like both The Champagne Murders and Deception, but I would definitely have chosen to watch Star Trek. Or I...

The Star Trek TOS theme played on theremin with orchestra. I love it! ST_TOS theme

That is amazing that you know that!

I believe it is from Seattle.

Oh those excruciating days when several of your favorite shows were on at the same time and there was no VCR in sight and a choice had to be made. We likely watched Star Trek because my parents loved it - and that is fine with me but I loved Bewitched and My Three Sons also!

I still have my ViewMaster of Star Trek. The Omega Glory is far from my favorite episode and I always wished they had chosen a different one for the ViewMaster.

Interesting. I did not know there was ever a laserdisc with the correct music. I did know that there was an early VHS release that was correct. I had never been so excited to buy a laserdisc and then I was SO disappointed. The "new" song is not exactly a bad song, but it is insipid sounding and...

I made cassette tapes of TV shows also, from I Love Lucy to Bewitched to Star Trek. They kept me company many times when TV was not an option and there was not a rerun in sight. Some movies, too.

Also in Flying Nun, in the Christmas episode Celia Lovsky plays an aged nun who wishes it could snow in Puerto Rico (which, of course, Sister Bertrille manages to accomplish for her). Quite a departure from T'Pau in Amok Time.

They could take the soundtracks of the animated series and use modern animation to make it very realistic looking. The stories overall are really good IMO, but I do find the Filmation style distracting.

I so wish Kaylar had not been written out. What a wonderful recurring character she would have been, even into the newer series.

I was flipping channels and came across an odd episode of DS9 that I do not remember at all, S3 E10 Fascination. Mrs. Troi has a virus that causes others to develop inappropriate infatuations. Miles does not seem to contract the virus, but he behaves rather badly toward Keiko, who is going...

Yes, thank you, that explains it.

Based on this conversation I watched Arsenal of Freedom on the projector from blu-ray. One of the most solid episodes of Season 1 IMO. It looked fantastic on the the projector, the colors were quite vivid. I do not mean offense to the actor, but Logan - I am glad we did not see more of him. And...

Imagine my surprise and delight when we had our office gift exchange and I got Locutus! I admit I kind of squealed when I opened it which people found quite amusing. I said to the person who gave it to me, "You know me, you really know me!"

Thank you for a thoughtful post. Oppenheimer is certainly a riveting, thought provoking film. I was born around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and my mother has told me how apprehensive she was, wondering what kind of world she would bring a child into. You make a great point about Star...

David Gerrold posted this photo on his feed this morning. It gave me a genuine laugh.

I met George Takei in line at a bank in Larchmont Village, which is very close to Paramount. It was 1982 and I don't think Khan was out yet, but we knew about it. Normally, I leave celebs alone in their personal space, but I couldn't help saying something. He could not have been nicer, and I...

I worked for an event planner back in the 1990s, and one thing I noticed about celebrities is that, for the most part, they are focused on what's next and not what has been. Of course, there will always be some like Norma Desmond who wallow in the past, but many of them would only agree to talk...

I had not thought of this for years, but your post reminded me. My grandmother lived in Bakersfield CA and Star Trek was on one of the local syndication stations, but she also got a channel all the way from Fresno (slightly snowy but fine to watch) that also showed Star Trek at another time. I...

Thank you Josh! Much appreciated. My favorite version also.

Regarding the 4K disc deluxe set of ST: The Motion Picture - I hope you guys will indulge me a question, but I am a bit confused and want to be sure I am understanding. Am I correct that the longer TV version (that was on laserdisc in the 1980s) is ONLY available on the 4K disc and is neither on...

I admire DeForest Kelly's acting in Spock's Brain. When he gains the knowledge and again when it fades, I totally believe him as a dedicated medical professional who is astonished at the science and then utterly deflated as he loses the understanding.

I enjoy Wink of An Eye. I revisit this one pretty often as something about it just appeals to me. I was kind of small when it first aired, but I found the ideas fascinating and it led to a talk with my Dad about frequencies in general, but also specifically about frequencies we cannot perceive...

Thank you! I had not realized that Nimoy wrote that (even though I have the wonderful CD box set and it is clearly listed in the booklet).

I have a certain affection for the third season because I have clear memories of watching those episodes in their original broadcast with my parents. I had nightmares about the green faces in the viewscreen for days. I found the cloud city very cool, and when Empire Strikes Back came out...
