These are great! I remember them first broadcast on the original Sci-Fi Channel and even had these spots taped. . The Sci-Fi Channel was the first to air Star Trek TOS in their entirety and uncut since they were first aired in the 60's. All their syndication airings in the 70's and onward, on local TV stations, the show was cut and edited for more commercial time. Until these Sci-Fi Channel broadcasts. It was a special event! Thanks for showing these!
@@sandal_thong8631 - I believe they did do the same thing with QL. But, if they edited out those words, then they were still incompletely aired. There was a sociological reason for using them.

I think they did something similar for Quantum Leap, playing 11 episodes in 12 hours, but they censored the "N-word" and "Retard(ed)."

@@morlockmeat Context matters, but they didn't want to deal with the subtleties.
@@sandal_thong8631 -Ah. Understood.
I used to think it was Jerry Lewis
