I was old enough to remember the original series. I was 5 years old when it first came out. Then when it came out again in syndication I watched it all over again and have been a fan ever since.
Exactly the same age. I remember season 2 and 3. I also remember playing with other kids and a mother would say that Star Trek was going to start. Every kid ran inside immediately.
@@peterharrison5833 I can't take credit for it. I paraphrased a line from an episode of Blackadder the Third: "Ink and Incapability". There's a short clip of it called "Blackadder -Two Silly Bulls".
The original number One was Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was an American actress and producer. She was best known for her roles as various characters in the Star Trek franchise: Nurse Christine Chapel, Number One, Lwaxana Troi, and the voice of most onboard computer interfaces throughout the series
Roddenberry wrote words to the Star Trek theme song so he would get residuals whenever it was played… having Roddenberry’s gf Majel’s voice as the computer insured she would get paid even in episodes when her character didn’t appear.
@@warrenwhite9085: People fault him, calling him a greedy conniver, he was just an astute businessman. A series can be fleeting, and one has to grab for anything ¨residual¨ that the opportunity might present. You never know in showbusiness when your current job might be your last.
Fans have noticed everything about Star Trek. Please don't project your ignorance on to fans of the show. You're the one showing up to the party empty-handed.
We also know how to pronounce "Dez-ee-Loo" and "May-jell" We know Shatner has a huge ego. We remember writing letters to "Save Star Trek" from being canceled after only 2 seasons.
At 5:06, that's Susan Sackett on set of TMP as "uncredited crewmember" talking to Spock. Rodenberry reportedly had an ongoing affair with her during his marriage to Barrett
It was what it was.Thank Lucy Ball for letting them make the show at her studio.And i would like to point out that Alfred Hitchcoks show monologues were at times as provocative.
Its a miracle StarTrek ever aired at all...considering all the "taboo" subjects they covered..i.e. ( the us of an interracial crew..the interracial kiss....the scantily clad women..and the use of violence.( shooting people with lasers and the variousfight scenes was not what people were used to...also the Science fiction genre was not a popular subject to air on t.v. back in the sixties... Thank goodnes they got three years of production in before it was shut down.. Kudo to Mr. Roddenberry for his tenacity to press on... It changed t.v. forever... Thank you .. ❤ 👽...
Some of the common household twinklets are often overlooked in TOS. This list include recycled coffee cup lids, jelly beans, and altered sets. Check them out. 😅
Since these things were behind the scenes, and non-show events, how could a fan notice? I thought maybe the video would be about things I could have noticed but missed. Things such as royalties paid to a composer are not what I was expecting.
The greatest anger I ever experienced as a child (or one of the greatest anyway) was when Star Trek was cancelled to cover a Gemini launch. Sort of ironic I suppose to react in such a way to having a piece of science fiction delayed in order to cover some actual science. For those who do not remember the time before cable, we only had three channels plus PBS and if there was a manned launch it was covered on all three networks. Not sure about PBS, it rarely had anything worth watching.
I'm sorry, but these poorly scripted, ineptly narrated videos make me appreciate Trek Culture SO much more. This idiotic narration hasn't seen an ounce of grammar editing and it makes me want to remove my eardrums.
Good to know that something I thought wonderful at age 14 was shit then and why I can't stomach 5 minutes of any of it now. It's garbage, Roddenberry shoped his slop everywhere with Desilu the last stop. Lucille Ball said "I don't understand it but what the hell give it a shot" Remember any women of the ship's crew in an away team or in the transporter room? No? Must have happened, and I must have missed that episode.
Desilu used to buy locally for costumes, bolts of red yellow and blue fabrics were purchased from Orbachs department store, some of the gowns were from I.Magnin & Joseph Margin department store- the white and blue dress the romulan commander wore in the enterprise incident was from liberty house department store the fur mini dress in the conscience of the king was a full fur bought from I.Magnin and designed by William Ware Theiss. Desilu also bought most of the costumes for I love Lucy from Orbacks as well

Yes, I met him many years ago and his finger was missing. If you notice in his screen time during the original Star Trek his right has is usually hidden or not in the shot.
That was James' personal choice since having such a "disfigurement" had limited his opportunities in the past since there was no physical discrimination laws during the OG Star Trek's time. At least this way, he could be hired for his talent, which he had plenty of.

🤣"Shatter" Sadly yes, William *Shatner* could be a "Shatter" when he was angry enough, but he always felt bad afterwards. Which is why he and *Nemroy* could play each other off so much. They were good men who could be prideful, but ultimately just wanted people to be happy with their performances.
Spock WAS perfect in that roll. He did not look demonic... I am also sure that he had more fans than Cptn. Kirk. Although Kirk.... kissed fantastically! By the way, I was looking up info. on those two. They had birthdays VERY close to one another.... A matter of days really.. SAME year also. Both were Jewish. I enjoyed reading about Nimoy....and his life growing up, and at his home, with his Jewish family... "FASCINATING"... Shatner never mentioned his upbringing, that I know of. I would like to know how he was brought up.
You also left out the importance of the letter writing campaign spearheaded by Bjo and John Trimble when they wanted to cancel the series after the second season. Prior to that time, there had been no other TV series that had been saved by the fans. This has gone on to be a Star Trek legacy, as evidenced by the salvaging of the animated series, Prodigy, and that series has been picked up by Netflix.
Soon afterward, a letter-writing campaign was enough to get the kids' live-action show, "H.R. Puf n'stuf" past its first three episodes (when the network suits wanted to cancel it) and picked-up for a full season.
1:37 - As Roddenberry said (paraphrased) on record, *"I kept the alien and married the girl. It worked out better that way."* 3:57 - Harlan Ellison's script HAD TO BE rewritten! In his story, there was a drug pusher in the crew! Imagine that. And a random crewman ODed and jumped back in time, not McCoy. In the end *SPOILER* it was Spock who stopped Kirk from saving Edith. The rewrite gave us a much more emotional sacrifice.😱😢
I’m a big fan of Star Trek…Always will be. Ever since it first aired on TV, I have been interested in space and space exploration, wondering if something like this could actually be possible. As it is now, there is NO WAY for that to happen, humanity is lacking in the qualities it takes to survive such a venture. So what’s left is left to the imagination, hope and dreams of a future where people can actually get along without having a war monger society or where everyones hatred towards fighting against each other is left far behind in the past. Our society needs to grow up if it ever wants to accomplish anything, and that includes taking better care of this planet…if it wants to explore the universe. This is so much far more important than what our society is currently doing today. How can anyone think about going elsewhere when all they do is continuously contribute their contamination and destruction of habitats, messing up this planet with its garbage, chemicals and corruptive processes and selfish behaviors with their own planet’s resources and ecosystems? This is on a genocidal level, whether going to another planet, or eventually bringing something back from the another planet, which causes further damages to our ecosystems and water resources. Life in space is quite complex and quite unlike what our planet is capable of sustaining…all the life as we know it, upon it. Example: how many species on our planet are living everywhere upon it? Unless in a zoo, these specific species occupy only certain areas where they can survive and thrive….Koalas indigenous to Australia….Panda species basically in China….Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos, Gazelles, etc. basically Africa….Anteaters and other species are in South America…. Komodo dragons are located on certain islands without people’s population on them. This goes for all birds and insects, including various types of plants which have a distinctive existence nowhere else than the habitats they occupied for eons. Marine species also have various places they exist and like all others, only occasionally will something happen to include a new species unknown from those already found. The point is…humanity doesn’t handle this problem let alone trying to solve something like spaceship problems or space travel issues. Society is a baby playing with dangerous toys it knows NOTHING ABOUT. FIRST…It needs the knowledge and the wisdom to understand the hidden dangers and consequences of its own actions upon the planet it calls home. SECOND…. It needs to correct its mistakes and behaviors before making any decisions or changes in its policies for future space exploration. THIRD… It needs to address the real reasons for going elsewhere in space. From what I’ve seen so far, it is NOT for knowledge, but the real reasons are those for greed and selfish, egotistical values and politics, motives for personal gains and power. One sided motives will NEVER work in space travel scenarios. It will fail and be doomed from the very beginning. 🖖
Ummm, okay. I think the war thing and selfishness and greed will work themselves out. People are good, individuals are at times corrupt. Wars happen at the whim of individuals. Let’s face it, no one wants wars because you could die, and nobody wants that. When we figure out how to travel in space then maybe we will find other cultures out there. We don’t know how to travel in space, sorry to say. Flying around in a dumpster don’t cut it. The way it is now, we have not set foot off planet yet. We won’t for the foreseeable future. Even NASA admits to many things which indicate that the Space Race was so much propaganda. The Van Allen belts are the main reason we have not left the Earth. How much lead would be needed? How much gas/propellant/rocket fuel would be needed to get the rocket out of the Earth’s gravity field? That is just one of those impossibilities that will keep us on the Earth for the foreseeable future!
I doubt there was a local "sweatshop" near the studio and it was more of a cottage industry for producers looking to cut budgets. Likely those who'd worked in the industry at one time.
Which is why it's sad that we're going to lose him sooner rather than later. For all his personal problems and flaws, he never wanted to let the fans down.
"Fans Never Noticed These Things about Star Trek" (Maybe fans born after 2020) because we TRUE fans already knew all of this and then some..... 8 minutes you should skip....
3:35 City in the Edge of Forever was not rewritten by Roddenberry. It was ultimatelly rewritten by D.C. Fontana as the original script was thought unfilmable.
Spock wasn't everyone's favorite..Whatever Mr.Shatner is real life he a space age sea dog on his way to his next big adventure. He supplied the real energy and everyone else reacted.
I was in my late teens when Star Trek started. Mr Spock WAS INDEED more popular than Shatner. And on any given day, you could hear students high school and college students on buses or subways talking about Mr Spock. Shatner's egocentrism was the problem in the show. He was always chasing after writers and directors to ask for changes for cameras to focus on him, whether he was talking or not. You seem to be hero-worshiping a tad too much.
@@RubenAndujar-t5w Mr.Shatner is an actor playing a role. I never confuse the actor with the role he playing.I don't admire actors for anything but their acting skill.The Kirk character was a like the privateers of Queen Elizabeth called collectively the Sea Dogs that raided the Spainsh main and explored the world. The English tradition of bold sailors continued throughout the age of sail accomplishing almost unbelievable exploits of daring do .Lord Cochrane who was Scottish lord with a shady reputation was a true hero in Latin American Wars of Liberation. Kirk was that type of guy .Cochrane was a raider type that specialized in lighting raids always doing the unexpected and unbelievable. In sense in the Kirk character that same audacious spirt. Cochrane was a great raider but was too impetuous and man of action to be a good Admiral, I think Kirk would have been the same way not someone who like staff work.
The captain was an extremely dynamic individual. Spock was second in command to him as first officer. Spock had no delusions or aspirations for the captains chair. They were close. As close as you can get to a Vulcan. Everybody I knew enjoyed Spock's content in each episode and movie, and book. But you need the Trio, Kirk, Spock and Mc Coy to have what they brought to the screen, or something was sorely missed. Then add the other regular characters in varying amounts, and you have a show. It was those three that worked toward each solution and reminded one another. No other attempt in Star Trek has been quite like it. The Trekkies I know, say similar things about it. If they don't call themselves Trekkies, consider they are different.
Network executives were idiots that couldn't see a billion dollar franchise sitting right there in front of them. We can only imagine the episodes they would've produced if allowed to continue with a better budget.
what is mad is that Eddie Paskey gets ZERO mention? he did 60 episodes. Sulu 52, Chekov 32. i'm not sure how they count it? films and tv cartoon. but Eddie Paskey is INVISIBLE? i recognize him. and can't remember a big scene with him. Sulu and chekov had almost extras roles? Yeoman rand had 8 appearances. we tend to think they are in almost every episode?
It’s videos such as this which are a complete waste of space on TH-cam. It assumes viewers are not observant, it suggests the video is about STAR TREK, then shows clips which are not from STAR TREK, and everyone who starts to watch this will see straightaway that it’s unwatchable due to DISTORTION by being presented in the wrong aspect ratio.
Really really need to use ONLY classic stills and NOT a bunch of other pictures.1.09 in and too many non classic pictures already two more and I am dropping out and giving thumbs down.
SO MUCH B.S. ON THE INTERNET . SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE COMES UP WITH THESE : "SCENE THAT ENDED IT ALL!" NEED TO KNOW YOUR SOURCE TO VARIFY SUCH INFORMATION.
If you'd like to read the Harlan Ellison original script for The City On The Edge Of Forever, see if you can find the book [paperback] Six Science Fiction Plays edited by Roger Elwood.
DeSULU Studios? Combine all sorts of mis-pronounciations like that with the total lack of awareness of Aspect Ratio changes and what we have here is just schlock.
Interesting though not very informative video. Next time at least make some effort to choreograph your narration with the run of still-zooms. Poor job altogether. Did the creators of this ever watch Star Trek, TOS? Somehow I doubt it.
According Herb S. one of the Executive Producers, NBC never objected to Number One being a woman. They objected to Majel Barrett playing the part because one they didn't think she go enough in the role and two they knew Gene was having affair with her and at that time didn't want it to apart of the cast. Gene told people NBC didn't want a woman in the role instead of wanting to tell the truth. Later he re-cast Majel to be nurse Chapel with a blonde wig thinking the execs wouldn't recognize her. But really by that time the execs didn't care because they knew the show wasn't going to last much longer on air. Funny.
Yeoman Janice Rand Till this day you have been and always will be remembered in a special way just a few reasons why I thought there was no power in the galley I grabbed a hand phaser and zap hot coffee You always look great in uniform I hope it's ok to say this I very much like the scene where you are adjusting the trycorder strap on your left shoulder your smile that happy look you would have , the way you talk I never did just watch Star Trek .

Soon afterward, a letter-writing campaign was enough to get the kids' live-action show, "H.R. Puf n'stuf" past its first three episodes (when the network suits wanted to cancel it) and picked-up for a full season.
1:37 - As Roddenberry said (paraphrased) on record, *"I kept the alien and married the girl. It worked out better that way."*
3:57 - Harlan Ellison's script HAD TO BE rewritten! In his story, there was a drug pusher in the crew! Imagine that. And a random crewman ODed and jumped back in time, not McCoy. In the end *SPOILER* it was Spock who stopped Kirk from saving Edith. The rewrite gave us a much more emotional sacrifice.😱😢
I’m a big fan of Star Trek…Always will be. Ever since it first aired on TV, I have been interested in space and space exploration, wondering if something like this could actually be possible. As it is now, there is NO WAY for that to happen, humanity is lacking in the qualities it takes to survive such a venture. So what’s left is left to the imagination, hope and dreams of a future where people can actually get along without having a war monger society or where everyones hatred towards fighting against each other is left far behind in the past.
Our society needs to grow up if it ever wants to accomplish anything, and that includes taking better care of this planet…if it wants to explore the universe. This is so much far more important than what our society is currently doing today. How can anyone think about going elsewhere when all they do is continuously contribute their contamination and destruction of habitats, messing up this planet with its garbage, chemicals and corruptive processes and selfish behaviors with their own planet’s resources and ecosystems? This is on a genocidal level, whether going to another planet, or eventually bringing something back from the another planet, which causes further damages to our ecosystems and water resources. Life in space is quite complex and quite unlike what our planet is capable of sustaining…all the life as we know it, upon it. Example: how many species on our planet are living everywhere upon it? Unless in a zoo, these specific species occupy only certain areas where they can survive and thrive….Koalas indigenous to Australia….Panda species basically in China….Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos, Gazelles, etc. basically Africa….Anteaters and other species are in South America…. Komodo dragons are located on certain islands without people’s population on them. This goes for all birds and insects, including various types of plants which have a distinctive existence nowhere else than the habitats they occupied for eons. Marine species also have various places they exist and like all others, only occasionally will something happen to include a new species unknown from those already found.
The point is…humanity doesn’t handle this problem let alone trying to solve something like spaceship problems or space travel issues. Society is a baby playing with dangerous toys it knows NOTHING ABOUT.
FIRST…It needs the knowledge and the wisdom to understand the hidden dangers and consequences of its own actions upon the planet it calls home. SECOND…. It needs to correct its mistakes and behaviors before making any decisions or changes in its policies for future space exploration.
THIRD… It needs to address the real reasons for going elsewhere in space.
From what I’ve seen so far, it is NOT for knowledge, but the real reasons are those for greed and selfish, egotistical values and politics, motives for personal gains and power. One sided motives will NEVER work in space travel scenarios. It will fail and be doomed from the very beginning. 🖖
Ummm, okay. I think the war thing and selfishness and greed will work themselves out. People are good, individuals are at times corrupt. Wars happen at the whim of individuals. Let’s face it, no one wants wars because you could die, and nobody wants that. When we figure out how to travel in space then maybe we will find other cultures out there. We don’t know how to travel in space, sorry to say. Flying around in a dumpster don’t cut it. The way it is now, we have not set foot off planet yet. We won’t for the foreseeable future. Even NASA admits to many things which indicate that the Space Race was so much propaganda. The Van Allen belts are the main reason we have not left the Earth. How much lead would be needed? How much gas/propellant/rocket fuel would be needed to get the rocket out of the Earth’s gravity field? That is just one of those impossibilities that will keep us on the Earth for the foreseeable future!
Spot on.
...thanks Greta...
I doubt there was a local "sweatshop" near the studio and it was more of a cottage industry for producers looking to cut budgets. Likely those who'd worked in the industry at one time.
What a handsome man William Shattner was. He is also very funny in real life.
Was?
Which is why it's sad that we're going to lose him sooner rather than later. For all his personal problems and flaws, he never wanted to let the fans down.
"Fans Never Noticed These Things about Star Trek" (Maybe fans born after 2020) because we TRUE fans already knew all of this and then some..... 8 minutes you should skip....
Even without the makeup spoke had the right anatomical features to play the part.
Spoke?
How so?
I've never seen a Vulcan before.
🖖😉
I dated his Vulcan sister . . .
She had a Vulcan attitude !!
So, the studio was Desilu, this is short for Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball. So it's pronounced Dez-ee-lou.
De-Sulu? Desilu! Ok, this is bogus.
3:35 City in the Edge of Forever was not rewritten by Roddenberry. It was ultimatelly rewritten by D.C. Fontana as the original script was thought unfilmable.
bizarre ending to your video...
So many inaccuracies in this. Thumbs down.
Spock wasn't everyone's favorite..Whatever Mr.Shatner is real life he a space age sea dog on his way to his next big adventure. He supplied the real energy and everyone else reacted.
I was in my late teens when Star Trek started. Mr Spock WAS INDEED more popular than Shatner. And on any given day, you could hear students high school and college students on buses or subways talking about Mr Spock. Shatner's egocentrism was the problem in the show. He was always chasing after writers and directors to ask for changes for cameras to focus on him, whether he was talking or not. You seem to be hero-worshiping a tad too much.
@@RubenAndujar-t5w Mr.Shatner is an actor playing a role. I never confuse the actor with the role he playing.I don't admire actors for anything but their acting skill.The Kirk character was a like the privateers of Queen Elizabeth called collectively the Sea Dogs that raided the Spainsh main and explored the world. The English tradition of bold sailors continued throughout the age of sail accomplishing almost unbelievable exploits of daring do .Lord Cochrane who was Scottish lord with a shady reputation was a true hero in Latin American Wars of Liberation. Kirk was that type of guy .Cochrane was a raider type that specialized in lighting raids always doing the unexpected and unbelievable. In sense in the Kirk character that same audacious spirt. Cochrane was a great raider but was too impetuous and man of action to be a good Admiral, I think Kirk would have been the same way not someone who like staff work.
The captain was an extremely dynamic individual.
Spock was second in command to him as first officer.
Spock had no delusions or aspirations for the captains chair.
They were close.
As close as you can get to a Vulcan.
Everybody I knew enjoyed Spock's content in each episode and movie, and book. But you need the Trio, Kirk, Spock and Mc Coy to have what they brought to the screen, or something was sorely missed.
Then add the other regular characters in varying amounts, and you have a show.
It was those three that worked toward each solution and reminded one another.
No other attempt in Star Trek has been quite like it.
The Trekkies I know, say similar things about it. If they don't call themselves Trekkies, consider they are different.
Network executives were idiots that couldn't see a billion dollar franchise sitting right there in front of them. We can only imagine the episodes they would've produced if allowed to continue with a better budget.
what is mad is that Eddie Paskey gets ZERO mention? he did 60 episodes. Sulu 52, Chekov 32. i'm not sure how they count it? films and tv cartoon. but Eddie Paskey is INVISIBLE? i recognize him. and can't remember a big scene with him. Sulu and chekov had almost extras roles?
Yeoman rand had 8 appearances.
we tend to think they are in almost every episode?
It’s videos such as this which are a complete waste of space on TH-cam.
It assumes viewers are not observant, it suggests the video is about STAR TREK, then shows clips which are not from STAR TREK, and everyone who starts to watch this will see straightaway that it’s unwatchable due to DISTORTION by being presented in the wrong aspect ratio.
Really really need to use ONLY classic stills and NOT a bunch of other pictures.1.09 in and too many non classic pictures already two more and I am dropping out and giving thumbs down.
SO MUCH B.S. ON THE INTERNET . SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE COMES UP WITH THESE : "SCENE THAT ENDED IT ALL!" NEED TO KNOW YOUR SOURCE TO VARIFY SUCH INFORMATION.
If you'd like to read the Harlan Ellison original script for The City On The Edge Of Forever, see if you can find the book [paperback] Six Science Fiction Plays edited by Roger Elwood.
DeSULU Studios? Combine all sorts of mis-pronounciations like that with the total lack of awareness of Aspect Ratio changes and what we have here is just schlock.
Desulu Studios???? You mean DESI LU Studies a combination of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball.
This is horrible. Why show scenes from the movies and even the Orville. WTF. Most all fans know this stuff.
Back in the 60 they had to deal with white supremacy heavily. Like having to cater to the stone ages with a futuristic show.
So stupid seeing Star Trek the Next Generation photos while the commentator is talking a about the original series!
for f****s sake. Want a video determined to bore you and never show "things fans never notice"? This is for you.
Who slapped on the arbitrary footage that’s totally unrelated to the visuals. Unwatchable
I'm surprised yeoman Rand's hairstyle didn't catch on.
The inter racial kiss happens in platos children and not a private little war . You aren't very familiar with the episodes
I hate these fake voices mispronouncing Desilu yeesh!
I was wondering if "Star Trek" started out in black and white or color.
De Sulu ....... I didn't know Mr. Sulu manned the helm and produced the show.
Yes, it was Desi Lu, after Desi and Lucy Arnez (or later Ball).
The video footage that is not Star Trek is out of place.
Drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic drinks is not logical.
Spock...I'm human damn it.
The rest as they say is history 😊
Desilu
annoying fake narrator
The studio name is NOT "de Sulu". My god. It is pronounced, [deh zee] (as in Desi Arnez). [lou] as in Lucille Balle
Interesting though not very informative video. Next time at least make some effort to choreograph your narration with the run of still-zooms. Poor job altogether. Did the creators of this ever watch Star Trek, TOS? Somehow I doubt it.
According Herb S. one of the Executive Producers, NBC never objected to Number One being a woman. They objected to Majel Barrett playing the part because one they didn't think she go enough in the role and two they knew Gene was having affair with her and at that time didn't want it to apart of the cast. Gene told people NBC didn't want a woman in the role instead of wanting to tell the truth. Later he re-cast Majel to be nurse Chapel with a blonde wig thinking the execs wouldn't recognize her. But really by that time the execs didn't care because they knew the show wasn't going to last much longer on air. Funny.
Yeoman Janice Rand
Till this day you have been and always will be remembered in a special way
just a few reasons why
I thought there was no power in the galley
I grabbed a hand phaser and zap hot coffee
You always look great in uniform I hope it's ok to say this
I very much like the scene where you are adjusting the trycorder strap on your left shoulder
your smile that happy look you would have , the way you talk
I never did just watch Star Trek .
Unwatchable for lots of reasons but, fucking up the aspect ratio of the video is sin number one.
