About 10 years ago, the Sci-Fi Channel acquired syndication rights for the original Star Trek television series. For years, the shows had been cut down to fit the amount of commercial time needed for current day programs (there was less commercial time during the original 60's run). Sci-Fi fixed this problem by making the time slot a full hour and a half. Dubbed "Star Trek The Sci-Fi Channel Special Edition", the episodes would be supplemented with original interviews with the cast and crew discussing each episode. The interviews and extra bits were especially entertaining since it featured more than just the standard cast but also highlighted guest actors, writers, etc.
I taped each and every episode as they aired (even though sometimes I hit record a little late and missed a minute or two). The interviews and extras really are neat, and since I've never seen them on youtube, I decided to dig out the tapes and start grabbing out all of the extra bits. I've found probably 75% of the tapes so far, and I hope to find the rest eventually. I hope it's okay with Sci-Fi if I post these. I'm just trying to get them out there for those who may have missed these years ago....
These are the extra bits from the epsiode "Mudd's Women". Enjoy, and be sure to subscribe to catch them all. Oh, and if you have time, check out my daily blog on all things Trek: apieceoftheaction66.blogspot.com/ - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Shatner has always been great in the host/MC/narrator role, good choice to have him anchor this series.
Roger C Carmel was was a great performer with a penchant for big bombastic characters and a gift for accents worthy of being TOS only recurring villain
I always wanted to see Roger C. Carmel in one of the Trek movies
Very reminiscent. In fact it was a rewrite of a Roddenberry script from Have Gun Will Travel about the mail order French brides and their con woman pimp, conning Palladian. Despite his later protest, it sometimes was A Wagon Train to the Stars.
Not sure we need that vicarious leer from Shatner at the end, but on the other hand he's also throwing shade at Roddenberry, so , eh, I can deal with it.
Outstanding!
Roger C Carmel was also on Banacek
Star Trek, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone were the Holy Trinity of pioneering SF classics for the 1960s. I am eternally proud to have been a fan of all three of them since childhood. 🖖🏻
Cheers for sharing these! LL&P.
I was born in 1953. I believe looking back in retrospect, we were truly more accepting of stories and images as seen in this youtube, than the PC crowd of today.
@5:38 see the behaviour? it was about drug addiction, and City on the Edge of Forever"s original storyline was about drug sales on the Enterprise.....

You know, it's really nice to see attractive women who aren't offended at appearing attractively dresses.
Wow.
Karen Steele, who played Eve McHuron in Mudds Women was the most attractive of the three, in my humble opinion. I thought that back in the day when I first saw the episode (aged about 5, when I couldn't say "attractive" but just simply "nice lady", and I still think so now about 40 years later!
RIP Karen Steele, who sadly passed away at the young age of 57 back in 1988.
i remember roger carmel from the series,,,, the mothers in law
That was a very funny series, yet surprisingly many people don't remember it.
By the way, Roger C. Carmel guest starred on Hogan's Heroes as the German General Karl Schmitt. In order to pump information out of him, Hogan and his men make him think he's sick and dying! Stay safe and healthy.
Harry Mudd, all purpose con man.
My question always was, was that a wig Grace Whitney was wearing or was that her real hair and if it was, how did they do the basketweave on the front?
A wig that took a half hour to put on Grace's head and combine with her own hair. Once she quipped "I was the original conehead!" True story so help me!
Karen Steele died of cancer, aged 56
Lol, I've heard both Nichelle Nichols and Grace Lee Whitney praise the miniskirt uniforms of the original series in other interviews as well. Neither where apparently a big fan of the unisex uniforms of the two pilots, and this WAS the 60s, a time when the miniskirt was something of a symbol of women's liberation. Of young women not being afraid to show themselves off as sexual beings. So I've always rejected the idea of labeling them as being inherently sexist, at least for the time.
Did you know that Grace Lee Whitney actually helped William Ware Theiss design the micro-miniskirted dresses (called a tunic in the episode "Shore Leave") worn by the crewwomen of the Enterprise? It's true! Scuttlebutt has it that Grace only wanted it for herself, but Gene Roddenberry made it the standard female uniform for the series. And to those who called it sexist, bear in mind that when women had few if any rights, skirt hemlines were down around the ankles. So, its full skirts that are sexist and miniskirts and microskirts that area liberated. Think about it. LL&P
Yeah I bet Gene said WOW but ya know what he was really thinkin........
Sorry - she was 57.
Oxycodone. ...
this episode proves sometimes brunettes do it better.
Do you know how she died ?.
Cancer
Ruth Bonaventure a sexier version of Demi Moore
I dread Star Trek Insights because of that continuous pew pew noise.
Mudd is one of my least favourite Star Trek characters. Really annoying.
He was kind of fun. But a younger Mudd was portrayed in "Star Trek: Discovery" as a less pleasant, determined, hostile person. And we got to see his future wife, Stella, as a younger, rather attractive woman.
I like the fact that in perfect world of the future still has loud annoying irritants like Harry Mudd
