There is such a great chasm of taste between fans of this original wholesome show, and fans of the dystopian modern series. I don't think we have anything in common. The modern shows are only Trek in name, not in spirit.
Having watched all of the series, starting with re-runs of the original in the 70's, I'd say the only series I enjoyed less than the original was Picard, and even it wasn't half bad. Most, I enjoyed more than the original.
I would put Picard and STNG right next to the original. Comon man….the original will always be THAT ONE! The GOAT. Got it. But many of the Picard plots were outstanding and still with Rodenberrys legacy intact
I couldn't agree more. Zombies, vampires, protagonists that are only concerned with themselves... Damn, I am so bored of all the dystopian apocalyptic darkness and death that isn't only being repeatedly overused but actually extolled and worshipped. Courage, resilience, empathy, loyalty, camaraderie and faith in the future has all but been abandoned in favor of applauding death and darkness. No thanks.
I grew up in the 70s watching Star Trek at 4pm on the local TV station. That is, when I wasn’t outside playing with friends or other fun activities. Plenty of time in winter and bad weather days to have seen about every TOS episode three to four times at least. When I see the TOS shows these days, it brings back memories of my childhood and what those days were to me.
We "played Star Trek" outside--my brother got to be the captain, I got to be Spock, and my kid sister was stuck being Dr McCoy. We had all kinds of space adventures in the back yard! It took me *forever* to learn how to raise one eyebrow, practicing in the mirror--then my mom told me it was the wrong eyebrow! (Because of the mirror reversal.) So then I had to learn to raise the other eyebrow...
Star Trek TOS was so formative for me as a youngster in the 1970s, and much more so than any of the later spinoffs. I'm glad it survived its startup challenges.
The show generated so many spin-offs, versions and sequels. It's just mind-boggling. I was a great fan of the original. Some of the spin-offs I liked. Some not so much.
Run to watch, especially the well-chosen photos to go along with the text of the narration. Especially fun to see my sister-in-law Dorothy Fontana at the very head of this video, as her marriage to my brother for some 40 years (until her passing a few years ago) kept us always awash in STAR TREK TOS and the later NG (AND the animated series in which she was even more deeply involved on every episode). Always intrigued by the stories she told us that have never seen the light of day. (She also worked on so many other series, including BABYLON 5, STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, THE WALTONS, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and so many others, both SF/FANTASY and otherwise. thanks for the video and keeping all these tales alive....the memory of Dorothy as well.
Star Trek WAS D.C. Fontana. Period. Along with Gene L.Coon, Bob Justman and Herb Solow. And of course Desilu. Lucille Ball went to bat for the series.❤❤❤
What a thrill Star Trek and the 60's in general were to me as a kid. Star Trek, The Thunderbirds, The Jetsons, Populux & Mid Century Modern, Bauhaus, Tomorrowland at Disneyland- all deeply influenced my thinking.
I'll never tire of watching this classic show. It dazzled my childhood and stunned the imagination. Shatner and Nimoy were great choices. I can see Landau with pointed ears, though.
Roddenberry had a decent overall concept. He was a lousy, perverted writer. The Cage was excellent, a rewrite rip off of the 1930s Frank Capra movie, Shangrila.
@@thomaspick4123hard to disagree with that. Roddenberry’s best contribution was the main characters within that concept, developed & refined by the writers, directors and actors.
I wrote a star trek play in fourth grade. I was a hero everyone in my class wanted to be captain Kirk I was Spock. What a great experience. I love sStar Trek
This is a very nice overview; I grew up with this show and remember the very first episode watched (The Corbomite Maneuver) - I would have been seven and completely overtaken by the futuristic ideas. And since, within a short time at this early period of my life I saw - on live television - launches of Gemini and Apollo - and could witness the rapid advancement of technology with my own eyes, I believed that the future depicted there might not really be that far off.
I think that Star Trek is about deep friendship and loyalty between the three principal characters: Kirk, Spock and McCoy, with interstellar space as a special setting.
I think I've seen the front page title for this Star Trek youtube, but I clicked on. Thinking "what more an they say about the making of Star Trek?" I've watched plenty before. This had lots of good stuff in it. I'm glad this popped up on my youtube suggestions again.
It was a hopeful future, and I'm not going to point out your omission of the verb "be". I still have hope for a good future, although it often seems hopeless. I fear we will have to make a breakaway society though to do it. I cannot feel good about leaving anybody behind, but if they are savages, what can we do?
I recently heard that Robert Butler said he "didn't understand" STAR TREK. Which is why he never came back for more. But, he immediately "got" BATMAN, and did the first 3 stories filmed there (Riddler, Penguin, Mr. Freeze), setting the tone of the series. Unfortunately, too many who followed didn't follow his lead, and that delicate balance of adventure & weird humor quickly became an insane sitcom instead. But later, he did the first 5 episodes of HILL STREET BLUES in a row, and on that show, for the most part, the style he set was followed for the next 7 years. For decades, I had no idea this one man had done the pilots for 3 of my favorite shows. I wish NBC had run STAR TREK in (mostly) production order. The slow evolution of the series, its characters, and such, make SO MUCH MORE sense if you see "Where No Man Has Gone Before", then "The Corbomite Manouever", and so on. Even, "Court Martial" makes way more sense if viewed directly before "The Menagerie", as it focuses on how computer info can me tampered with, a bit mentioned in the opening minutes of "The Menagerie!" (When "Court Martial" was aired 2 months later, it seemed stupid and redundant.) One instance where episodes should be seen out of production sequence: it's very clear "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" was Christine Chapel's debut. It makes no sense to see it after "The Naked Time", where we learn she's fallen for Spock. I tend to put that production glitch down to either actors scheduling or building complex sets (it happens). Gene Coon, producer for one season (middle of season 1 to middle of season 2) I always feel did the most "viewer-friendly" stories. I love Roddenberry's darker, more "ensemble cast" episodes (which at the time reminded me of THE OUTER LIMITS), but Coon made the show more fun to watch. I do wish Roddenberry had come back to helm season 3, though. (I don't blame Fred Freiberger for what happened there.) By the way, these days, when I re-watch STAR TREK, I always start with FORBIDDEN PLANET... then "The Cage". (heh)
Good that they chose new, more colorful uniforms to replace the flatter tones of the uniforms in the first two pilots. I absolutely love those early uniforms but the classic TOS colors are so groovy.
Some may laugh but I really liked the background sets especially knowing they didn't have a large budget. Today the computerization in many movies just doesn't look right.
Star Trek defined late 60s' television for me. Its melding of science fiction and character and plot development was better than the best. As if serendipitous, the last show, on June 3, 1969 was also the day I graduated from college. Nothing could have been better!
I watched the first show on a makeshift group of broken TV's wired together. I am very lucky to have been a friend of Jerome Bixby writer of (my bias here) Mirror,Mirror and a few others. We also did a review in Electronic Musician magazine Jan 1990 for Temporal Acuity's Music Printer Plus. Later he would write some of the music for his "The Man from Earth" that his son Emerson would bring to life.
Wow, great info, remember watching in 68 with my dad. Roddenberry was ahead of his time warp speed, communicators, phasers, uhora's ear bud, teleportation, etc😮
Great videos on this. One minor correction though. Both pilots were filmed at the old RKO Desilu studios in Culver City. Reports were that the that stage was in bad shape from age and neglect with stinging insects making home inside. When the series was picked up, they moved production to Hollywood at the Gower St studio next to Paramount (and shorty to be acquired by them too).
As a devoted Star Trek fan, since episode #1, I found it strange that the network executives failed to see the potential with the concept of this great series, which lead multiple spin-offs, the big screen, and legions of devoted fans, over 50 years since it was cancelled.. I recently watched a similar video about another TV show, also from the mid 60s, that the network executives cancelled, despite it’s great ratings, and replaced it with another show that only lasted 17 episodes. Says a lot about the expertise of these network executives.
This was a very nice Byopic of Star Trek. Thank you. Star Trek was the TV show. That came on the air. When I was advanced to Capt., myself. In charge of our, Audio and Video. When I became captain of our, A/V team and the 6th,, Grade. Of my Elementary School. Yes this was a position. That only one of the 4 sixth-grade classes had. And I wanted to be in Mr. Ordowski's 6 grade class. And luckily. I was appointed to his class. So I walked up to him and introduced myself. And told him. I will be the next, Captain of the AV team. I really didn't give him much choice. I knew what I wanted to do for my career. By the time I was 7 years old. And here I had wasted time and was already 12. And landed my first, Audio/Video, job. As I had planned to work in, Radio, TV Stations and Recording Studios.. I expected to design and build out equipment. Then I would record those talented people. Then I would interview them for the show. Then I would MC the show on the air. As that's what I thought I would be doing in my career? I was extremely naïve at 12 years of age. And when you've grown up. In the best big,, TV & Radio Stations. And a couple of, Recording Studios with the name of, USS and Motown. United Sound Systems, Recording Studios. The biggest Independent,, earliest, independent, Recording Studio. In Detroit. Established back in the 1930s. And that place that Berry Gordy had. Where my daddy. Who was in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. And had a little advertising agency with his dad.. Would occasionally play string tracks. And produce commercials at the stations and at the studio. And started taking me down there when I was 7 years of age. And stupid me.. I thought this is what my, daddy. Wanted me to do? It was not. Mom's, neither. They both wanted me to become a musician or singer like them. But all of those knobs and dials and gear. Just too attractive. To a 7-year-old. And so with my Promotion to Capt. of the AV Team. This other opportunity arose. My dad had gotten a bigger building for his advertising agency. And with it. He had the,, Chief Engineer of, CKLW-TV-AM-FM, to install. A small, Radio Station like, Voiceover Production Studio.. And this guy equipped it. With real, 1940s & 1950s, Radio Station Gear. Oh boy! It's just like the radio stations and recording studios! And so Nick, finished up all the wiring on this, Saturday. And brought dad into the control room. To instruct him how to use it. Daddy wasn't really grasping it well. Daddy was having problems. So daddy got up and felt defeated. Lit up a cigarette as Nick, is trying to console him. When I asked daddy. Can I play with it? He looked at me and said no. But Nick said. Your kid is not going to hurt anything. It's all built like a tank. He said okay. And so while Nick was trying to explain how to do it to dad. I figured it all out for myself. And I started making like, ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO DJ! At 12 years of age. I was having a blast. And daddy and Nick. Were just standing there watching me have fun. Nick then told my dad. If you have any other questions. Don't call me. Ask your kid. And he left.. Daddy standing there watching me having fun. And it blew their minds. I took to it like a duck takes to water. I was in heaven! Life couldn't get better than this! It would be a turning point in my life. That put me over the threshold. Who else I wondered had anything like this? Likely no other kid in the world.. I didn't even know who,, Les Paul was? He had something like this at home.. So did Walter Carlos and his alter ego Wendy Carlos. Had stuff like this at home. Now I did also. As dad's, Advertising agency, faltered. He decided to go back to music full-time. Shut down the business. Brought all the equipment home. Stuck it in the corner of our basement. Where it sat. I couldn't leave it there looking so sad. All of the wires cut. I don't know how to read a schematic. I don't have a voltmeter. All I have is a crappy little, 2 transistor AM, pocket radio. With a crappy little single earphone. I know what I'm going to do! Dingdong! So I tear my little earphone off the wire. And now I can connect those 2 wires. To all of these wires hanging out of the, 1943. Western Electric, C 23, Radio Console. I knew it had, multiple inputs and outputs. And I figured. If I connect my transistor radio to these wires. With all the volumes turned up.. I'm just going to look for the meter moving.. And voilà! Within about 3 hours. I had everything plugged back in and running again! Oh my God! In our basement! I have my own radio station! But no transmitter. I have to get a transmitter! And I became a, Amateur Ham. But I could only do Morse code. I hated Morse code! You can't talk on the radio until you get faster with Morse code? What sense does this make? This Sucks! This don't fly! And I no longer want to be an, Amateur. I want to be a Professional.. And so at 15 years of age. I got my FCC 3rd Class Commercial Broadcast License. While I was flunking out of high school. And I walked into an NPR affiliate college radio station. And I got myself a Pair of shows, per week.. A, pair of shows, to do, myself. And handed the keys to the Radio Station. Because I would be there when there would be nobody there on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. I hit the Mother load! At 15.. 53 years later now I have finally retired. From quite the career. It was a whole lot of fun. As I never really wanted to, Work, for a living. Who does? That's like, a four letter word called WORK. We must not use such filthy language! It's called Audio. And my sound is much cleaner. Than I am. And I can prove it! This proves what I was doing at 65. Just prior to the pandemic. I recorded over 500 rock bands at this nightclub. In Austin, Texas. The next 14 recordings you hear, here,, was only a test. A Proof of Concept. And it worked. All the rock radio stations in Austin wanted to, Contract Me. To do likewise for them. You can hear why. Yes these are all completely Haphazard,, recordings. There were no microphone checks. No sound checks. The band starts playing. I come up with a mix in the first 60 seconds. As I'm, Live On Air. And sometimes. There are technical problems. (More Gone Before in following post)
@@redgodofwar7723 The sad thing is, when Roddenberry made the ill-advised decision to leave, the network and the censors screwed over just about every script before they were shot. There's only a handful of season 3 episodes I really like. I mean, damn, the Filmation cartoons had better writing on average (I'm sure we can thank DC Fontana for that). "Day of the Dove" is my favorite-- and it's also my favorite Michael Ansara role ever!
@@henrykujawa4427 I don't think that DC Fontana has ever been given the credit that she deserves. My sixth grade teacher introduced me and two other boys to Star Trek when it was in syndication. The first episode I ever saw was "Devil in the Dark," and I was completely hooked forever. The optimistic vision for our potential future -- thanks to Roddenberry and Coon, both fired and thrilled my imagination. My favorite episodes from the Original are Balance of Terror and The Corbomite Maneuver, with others close behind.
Dan: Something else, I didn't see mentioned, was : Because Jeffrey Hunter played JESUS, in "King of Kings", he suffered the fate of other actors, called The "Jesus Curse", which was Basically, if you Starred as JESUS, in any movie version of His life, you basically became unhireable, for ANY "LESSER" ROLE!!
The weird thing (to me at least), I recently re-watched that film, and it focuses so much on the politics of the era, between the Romans and the rebellious Jews, that Jesus is barely in the film at all. And unlike the earlier silent version, we DON'T even see "The Ressurection"! I wonder why (outside of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS) Hollywood seems to veer AWAY from showing "miracles" in "Biblical" movies.
Unfortunately Hunter died in 1969, possibly as a result of an injury caused by a stunt that went wrong while filming. His history, and that of Star Trek, might have been very different if he'd continued as the captain.
All Star fans can. Thank Lucille Ball and Desi Lou productions for this epic start to Star Trek. They wanted to pull it Some people wanted the show canceled. Lucille Ball said no and she kept it on the air. Thank you, Lucy
Sorry to burst your bubble. The letter writing campaign was after the second season to have a third season created according to Gene Roddenberry’s subsequent interviews in the 1980’s.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Gene Coon rescued Star Trek from Roddenberry's destructive influence. Don't believe me? Google, "Gene Coon, influence on Star Trek TOS". (It's amazing how original creators can destroy their own creations. I'm guilty as well. Editors and directors exist for a reason.)
ST TNG totally sucked. Watch it again, Shighberg. All they do on that show is sit around and talk, and look really comfortable. It was bs, and you'll know it upon reviewing it.
I would love to have seen Lloyd Bridges in the role as he was always an actor who could create a sense of empathy along with strength. I know one of the reasons why SF became, er, not his cup o'tea, but I think he was being too cut-and-dry about that assessment for the wrong reasons.
As much as we love to laugh at William Shatner and his penchant for over-acting, I think he was the reason for the show's success. His chemistry with Nimoy, his womanizing, as well as his "righteousness" at every turn, made the non sci-fi parts of the show attractive to mass audiences. Thats why the Tribbles episode ranks #1 with many viewers. It's totally lacking in any sci-fi and is basically nothing more than a Love Boat episode.
IF THEY WERE SMART MAKE A MOVIE 60'S FORMAT ABOUT THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE AND THE CONSTELLATION HOW THE SHIP FOUGHT IT AND TIE IT INTO THE EPISODE OF TOS ONE ENDS AND THE OTHER START'S
My ultra-religious mother let me watch this in the 70s when I was little but she was deeply disapproving whenever Kirk kissed some alien female. So every episode was an excuse for her to tut-tut.
Nothing beats the original Star Trek! For example, the transporter. Ever notice how, whenever Scotty or Lt. Kyle were operating the transporter, they were both deadly serious? Notice how, even in the 'original' movies, the actors operating the transporter were, lackadaisical, casual, leisurely, non-concerned? Like it's a joke? "Hey! Two to beam up, Captain..." Believe Scotty: "Sir. Jim. You don't want to risk your life with a finicky transporter. Sir." But the writers LOST that seriousness in later renditions, it all became a joke, 'cause they're punk/kid writers, with no real-life grit experience. Scotty knew, and showed us all, that the transporter was not a machine to trifle with, or take for granted, and in fact required an experienced engineer to operate safely.
Rowan & Martin's LAUGH-IN was on Monday nights. The show it KILLED was THE AVENGERS with Patrick Macnee, when ABC stupidly moved it from its very successful slot Fridays @ 10 PM (yes really) to Mondays opposite what was the #1 show on the air. Network execs never learn: you only move a show when it's in trouble, you NEVER move it when it's successful. Every time they do that, it always LOSES some of its loyal audience, who suddenly don't know when it's on. When NBC moved STAR TREK from 8:30 to 10 PM, several weeks, I actually forgot it was on. And I was a big fan at the time!
Yes, esp. since the narrator's Irish accent has a few oddities (e.g., not saying 'th' - he says 'tree' instead of 'three'), so speaking more slowly would help non-Irish viewers.
@@dansmodeluniverse Thanks. Being a musician in Symphony Orchestras I love the music for King of Kings and Ben Hur scored for full orchestral sound. Miklos Rozza I believe was the composer
The question that I have for you is if it hadn't been for the introduction of the Space Opra or extensive story telling of "Star Trek" and "Lost In Space" would "Star Wars" ever gotten green light and been excepted the way it was?.

@@earth2006 it was barely given the green light. Lucas had to give up some huge concessions in order to get it made. What really helped push the studios was the “success” of American Graffiti. That movie is ultimately why Star Wars was made, way more so than other contemporary sci fi.
A serious technical problem occurred for the second band, Christian Bland. I don't have the lead vocal microphone. I only have the lead vocal microphone effects channel. What the hell? He sounds like he's drowning in, Jupiter's atmosphere. It sounds terminal to me. I don't like it like this. I put in redundant backup provisions. Starting with the 3rd band. Never do vary from that, set up protocol. For all the future bands to come. Over 493. Yes and so. I actually had my Recording Studio. Parked in the nightclubs backyard. Inside my truck. It's a Control Room On Wheels I referred to as the CROW.. Equipped with, over 40 microphone inputs. On large core snake cables. The length of an NFL football field. And it's completely soundproofed with whisper quiet HVAC heating and cooling. It's basically an, Audio Oasis. It's not a Mirage. It's Reel People. I was only in business a couple of years as the Audio Oasis. As I got, Infected. With a lot of Video Equipment. Cameras, switchers, recorders. And so calling myself the Audio Oasis no longer made any sense. And I was wondering what I could call this, Bird, now? And do I have a, Bird Brain,, for doing this? I didn't want to be a, Dodo and go extinct. I needed a really Smart Bird I could, CROW, about. And realized. Crows were smarter than, Chimpanzees.. They are the most intelligent bird in the world. They can also talk. But they would rather, squawk. Ravens are more talkative. And they are all from the same, genus of Genius Birds. And so crows are of the, Covid, genus. When you put them on video. But that was not a positive moniker, anymore. And their TV show is canceled called, The CROW. Soon it will be my TH-cam channel. And I will drive and wander aimlessly from city to city. In my old, White Trash Motor Home, Recording Facility. And catch some local performers. To make that week's show with them. And then interview them. Package it up nicely. And make it a regular Series. Basically inspired from Dave Grohl's, Sonic Highways for HBO TV. Which I had been planning to do before that HBO series ever existed. He just beat me to the punch. And so they are cover bands? I will just have to pay the, publishing copyright fees. They are not that much. So TH-cam won't have to, censor nor delete them for copyright infringement. No! They will be officially and financially cleared. Because I think TH-cam. Needs a decent regular live music TV show. That gets around. That goes to the places. And features that local flavor. And because Alex Jones, sucks! Just totally sucks! And we need something better! Something that will inspire people to act more like Americans again. Getting together through the common bond of music. I wanted to make this happen, 10 years ago. But I have been repeatedly attacked here in Texas. Physically, professionally, personally, financially. Attacked on purpose by Texan psychopaths. In possession of guns and badges. They are actually Nazis. And the cops decide they are judged jury and executioner's. And they decided my recording studio wasn't my studio. It was the felonious assailant that attacked me at my studio. They decided it was his. They arrested me at my studio. After this guy attacked me. The Texan Nazi cops work for felons against Americans they don't like. It's really quite horrific. It's unthinkable. Unfathomable. That, Texans are not Americans at all. They are Enemies of the USA and the American people. And they need to be dealt with, severely. They have destroyed my life. On purpose. They are beneath Scumbag. No naturally fertilized and hatched, Texan, is a human being. They possess no humanity. They like hurting and killing Americans they don't like. They are true Nazis. Fascist, psycho Nazis. They have declared War. On the LGBTQ plus community and the American People. It goes beyond Unforgivable! It was a total and complete, disruption and denial of all of my constitutional rights in the USA. As severe as you can possibly imagine. Beyond severe. Unrecoverable. They have murdered me on paper. soundcloud.com/user-135130368/sets/live-at-electric-church-fm-sessions-vol-1 Naturally inbred Texans are not American citizens. They are Nazi fascist pigs. RemyRAD
Lucille Ball's influence cannot be overstated here -- Star Trek would never have existed without her help.
Really! I didn't know that! Good for her!
@@francisfischer7620I don't know either and nobody will tell me
Truth. She fought, risked and fought more for this show. Glad she had the rerun rites though. It paid off!

Was 7 years old when Star Trek premiered got to meet Scotty in person in Greenwich CT in the 80's!!!!
I watched in 66 in real time so to speak… as a 12 year old, absolute magic, will never , ever be superseded by any story telling or tech/cgi/ai

Especially fun to see my sister-in-law Dorothy Fontana at the very head of this video, as her marriage to my brother for some 40 years (until her passing a few years ago) kept us always awash in STAR TREK TOS and the later NG (AND the animated series in which she was even more deeply involved on every episode).

In the right hands, some episodes could be remade as first class movies, that’s how good they are.
How true!!
Always been my favourite for 50 years
"Where no man has gone before" Yesss, I do know this one from personal experience 😅
But they always tell you that "no man has gone before there", until you find out by yourself, she has already been married. 😁😁
I recently heard that Robert Butler said he "didn't understand" STAR TREK. Which is why he never came back for more. But, he immediately "got" BATMAN, and did the first 3 stories filmed there (Riddler, Penguin, Mr. Freeze), setting the tone of the series. Unfortunately, too many who followed didn't follow his lead, and that delicate balance of adventure & weird humor quickly became an insane sitcom instead. But later, he did the first 5 episodes of HILL STREET BLUES in a row, and on that show, for the most part, the style he set was followed for the next 7 years. For decades, I had no idea this one man had done the pilots for 3 of my favorite shows.
I wish NBC had run STAR TREK in (mostly) production order. The slow evolution of the series, its characters, and such, make SO MUCH MORE sense if you see "Where No Man Has Gone Before", then "The Corbomite Manouever", and so on. Even, "Court Martial" makes way more sense if viewed directly before "The Menagerie", as it focuses on how computer info can me tampered with, a bit mentioned in the opening minutes of "The Menagerie!" (When "Court Martial" was aired 2 months later, it seemed stupid and redundant.) One instance where episodes should be seen out of production sequence: it's very clear "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" was Christine Chapel's debut. It makes no sense to see it after "The Naked Time", where we learn she's fallen for Spock. I tend to put that production glitch down to either actors scheduling or building complex sets (it happens).
Gene Coon, producer for one season (middle of season 1 to middle of season 2) I always feel did the most "viewer-friendly" stories. I love Roddenberry's darker, more "ensemble cast" episodes (which at the time reminded me of THE OUTER LIMITS), but Coon made the show more fun to watch. I do wish Roddenberry had come back to helm season 3, though. (I don't blame Fred Freiberger for what happened there.)
By the way, these days, when I re-watch STAR TREK, I always start with FORBIDDEN PLANET... then "The Cage". (heh)
Nice to see your reference to Harlan Ellison, a great talent, I grew up with and loved his tremendous imagination and use of language.
Good that they chose new, more colorful uniforms to replace the flatter tones of the uniforms in the first two pilots. I absolutely love those early uniforms but the classic TOS colors are so groovy.
Some may laugh but I really liked the background sets especially knowing they didn't have a large budget.
Today the computerization in many movies just doesn't look right.
Star Trek defined late 60s' television for me. Its melding of science fiction and character and plot development was better than the best. As if serendipitous, the last show, on June 3, 1969 was also the day I graduated from college. Nothing could have been better!
I watched the first show on a makeshift group of broken TV's wired together. I am very lucky to have been a friend of Jerome Bixby writer of
(my bias here) Mirror,Mirror and a few others. We also did a review in Electronic Musician magazine Jan 1990 for Temporal Acuity's Music Printer Plus. Later he would write some of the music for his "The Man from Earth"
that his son Emerson would bring to life.
Wow, great info, remember watching in 68 with my dad. Roddenberry was ahead of his time warp speed, communicators, phasers, uhora's ear bud, teleportation, etc😮
What is really surprising as far as I know there ar'nt photos of Lucille Ball visiting the sets of the original series.
Thanks again LUCY RICARDO!
Great information there Dan. Thanks for making this video.
Great videos on this. One minor correction though. Both pilots were filmed at the old RKO Desilu studios in Culver City. Reports were that the that stage was in bad shape from age and neglect with stinging insects making home inside. When the series was picked up, they moved production to Hollywood at the Gower St studio next to Paramount (and shorty to be acquired by them too).
Excellent, thank you!
As a devoted Star Trek fan, since episode #1, I found it strange that the network executives failed to see the potential with the concept of this great series, which lead multiple spin-offs, the big screen, and legions of devoted fans, over 50 years since it was cancelled.. I recently watched a similar video about another TV show, also from the mid 60s, that the network executives cancelled, despite it’s great ratings, and replaced it with another show that only lasted 17 episodes. Says a lot about the expertise of these network executives.
This was a very nice Byopic of Star Trek. Thank you.
Star Trek was the TV show. That came on the air. When I was advanced to Capt., myself. In charge of our, Audio and Video. When I became captain of our, A/V team and the 6th,, Grade. Of my Elementary School.
Yes this was a position. That only one of the 4 sixth-grade classes had. And I wanted to be in Mr. Ordowski's 6 grade class. And luckily. I was appointed to his class.
So I walked up to him and introduced myself. And told him. I will be the next, Captain of the AV team. I really didn't give him much choice. I knew what I wanted to do for my career. By the time I was 7 years old. And here I had wasted time and was already 12. And landed my first, Audio/Video, job. As I had planned to work in, Radio, TV Stations and Recording Studios.. I expected to design and build out equipment. Then I would record those talented people. Then I would interview them for the show. Then I would MC the show on the air. As that's what I thought I would be doing in my career? I was extremely naïve at 12 years of age.
And when you've grown up. In the best big,, TV & Radio Stations. And a couple of, Recording Studios with the name of, USS and Motown. United Sound Systems, Recording Studios. The biggest Independent,, earliest, independent, Recording Studio. In Detroit. Established back in the 1930s.
And that place that Berry Gordy had. Where my daddy. Who was in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. And had a little advertising agency with his dad.. Would occasionally play string tracks. And produce commercials at the stations and at the studio. And started taking me down there when I was 7 years of age.
And stupid me.. I thought this is what my, daddy. Wanted me to do? It was not. Mom's, neither. They both wanted me to become a musician or singer like them. But all of those knobs and dials and gear. Just too attractive. To a 7-year-old.
And so with my Promotion to Capt. of the AV Team. This other opportunity arose.
My dad had gotten a bigger building for his advertising agency. And with it. He had the,, Chief Engineer of, CKLW-TV-AM-FM, to install. A small, Radio Station like, Voiceover Production Studio..
And this guy equipped it. With real, 1940s & 1950s, Radio Station Gear. Oh boy! It's just like the radio stations and recording studios!
And so Nick, finished up all the wiring on this, Saturday. And brought dad into the control room. To instruct him how to use it. Daddy wasn't really grasping it well. Daddy was having problems. So daddy got up and felt defeated. Lit up a cigarette as Nick, is trying to console him. When I asked daddy. Can I play with it?
He looked at me and said no. But Nick said. Your kid is not going to hurt anything. It's all built like a tank. He said okay.
And so while Nick was trying to explain how to do it to dad. I figured it all out for myself. And I started making like, ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO DJ! At 12 years of age. I was having a blast. And daddy and Nick. Were just standing there watching me have fun.
Nick then told my dad. If you have any other questions. Don't call me. Ask your kid. And he left.. Daddy standing there watching me having fun. And it blew their minds. I took to it like a duck takes to water. I was in heaven! Life couldn't get better than this! It would be a turning point in my life. That put me over the threshold.
Who else I wondered had anything like this? Likely no other kid in the world.. I didn't even know who,, Les Paul was? He had something like this at home.. So did Walter Carlos and his alter ego Wendy Carlos. Had stuff like this at home. Now I did also. As dad's, Advertising agency, faltered. He decided to go back to music full-time. Shut down the business. Brought all the equipment home. Stuck it in the corner of our basement. Where it sat.
I couldn't leave it there looking so sad. All of the wires cut. I don't know how to read a schematic. I don't have a voltmeter. All I have is a crappy little, 2 transistor AM, pocket radio. With a crappy little single earphone. I know what I'm going to do! Dingdong!
So I tear my little earphone off the wire. And now I can connect those 2 wires. To all of these wires hanging out of the, 1943. Western Electric, C 23, Radio Console. I knew it had, multiple inputs and outputs. And I figured. If I connect my transistor radio to these wires. With all the volumes turned up.. I'm just going to look for the meter moving.. And voilà!
Within about 3 hours. I had everything plugged back in and running again! Oh my God! In our basement! I have my own radio station! But no transmitter. I have to get a transmitter!
And I became a, Amateur Ham. But I could only do Morse code. I hated Morse code! You can't talk on the radio until you get faster with Morse code? What sense does this make? This Sucks! This don't fly! And I no longer want to be an, Amateur. I want to be a Professional..
And so at 15 years of age. I got my FCC 3rd Class Commercial Broadcast License. While I was flunking out of high school. And I walked into an NPR affiliate college radio station. And I got myself a Pair of shows, per week.. A, pair of shows, to do, myself. And handed the keys to the Radio Station. Because I would be there when there would be nobody there on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. I hit the Mother load! At 15..
53 years later now I have finally retired. From quite the career. It was a whole lot of fun. As I never really wanted to, Work, for a living. Who does? That's like, a four letter word called WORK. We must not use such filthy language! It's called Audio. And my sound is much cleaner. Than I am. And I can prove it!
This proves what I was doing at 65. Just prior to the pandemic. I recorded over 500 rock bands at this nightclub. In Austin, Texas.
The next 14 recordings you hear, here,, was only a test. A Proof of Concept. And it worked. All the rock radio stations in Austin wanted to, Contract Me. To do likewise for them. You can hear why.
Yes these are all completely Haphazard,, recordings. There were no microphone checks. No sound checks. The band starts playing. I come up with a mix in the first 60 seconds. As I'm, Live On Air. And sometimes. There are technical problems.
(More Gone Before in following post)
Amazing the show had a rocky start and only lasted 2 seasons... And now its been re-done, remade, remastered for the last 50 years!
Three seasons
@@redgodofwar7723 The sad thing is, when Roddenberry made the ill-advised decision to leave, the network and the censors screwed over just about every script before they were shot. There's only a handful of season 3 episodes I really like. I mean, damn, the Filmation cartoons had better writing on average (I'm sure we can thank DC Fontana for that). "Day of the Dove" is my favorite-- and it's also my favorite Michael Ansara role ever!
@@henrykujawa4427 I don't think that DC Fontana has ever been given the credit that she deserves.
My sixth grade teacher introduced me and two other boys to Star Trek when it was in syndication. The first episode I ever saw was "Devil in the Dark," and I was completely hooked forever.
The optimistic vision for our potential future -- thanks to Roddenberry and Coon, both fired and thrilled my imagination.
My favorite episodes from the Original are Balance of Terror and The Corbomite Maneuver, with others close behind.
Dan: Something else, I didn't see mentioned, was : Because Jeffrey Hunter played JESUS, in "King of Kings", he suffered the fate of other actors, called The "Jesus Curse", which was Basically, if you Starred as JESUS, in any movie version of His life, you basically became unhireable, for ANY "LESSER" ROLE!!
The weird thing (to me at least), I recently re-watched that film, and it focuses so much on the politics of the era, between the Romans and the rebellious Jews, that Jesus is barely in the film at all. And unlike the earlier silent version, we DON'T even see "The Ressurection"! I wonder why (outside of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS) Hollywood seems to veer AWAY from showing "miracles" in "Biblical" movies.
awesome
Jeffrey Hunter was a good man and a good actor. Too bad he walked away from repeating the role in the second pilot film.
Hunter's wife was adamant about him not continuing the role...
Unfortunately Hunter died in 1969, possibly as a result of an injury caused by a stunt that went wrong while filming. His history, and that of Star Trek, might have been very different if he'd continued as the captain.
For me it’s the original series (during my childhood) and Voyager (as a young media professional) that affected me the most.
The original will always be the Best!
Apart from Season Three. Spock's Brain?
Amen to that!!
Far worse than Spock's brain was "And The Children Will Lead"...😫🤮
All Star fans can. Thank Lucille Ball and Desi Lou productions for this epic start to Star Trek. They wanted to pull it
Some people wanted the show canceled. Lucille Ball said no and she kept it on the air. Thank you, Lucy
Desilu
Amazing the way studios sabotage these shows.
Well done
The Al Capone parallel word on the verge of civil war story, sounds familiar?
In the UK I don't think we got it until 1970 or 71. I remember looking forward to it and watching spellbound - the best thing on TV
Hon Munster! 😂😂😂
Original Series Season 1 is probably the best season of Star Trek ever produced
The original Star Trek continues to “live long and prosper.” Bravo! The recent new stuff is too woke for me.
Dorothy (DC) Fontana wrote some great scripts.
That still photo at 3:57 is just ripe for an Apple VR photoshop job lol
Sorry to burst your bubble. The letter writing campaign was after the second season to have a third season created according to Gene Roddenberry’s subsequent interviews in the 1980’s.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Gene Coon rescued Star Trek from Roddenberry's destructive influence. Don't believe me? Google, "Gene Coon, influence on Star Trek TOS". (It's amazing how original creators can destroy their own creations. I'm guilty as well. Editors and directors exist for a reason.)
ST TNG totally sucked. Watch it again, Shighberg. All they do on that show is sit around and talk, and look really comfortable. It was bs, and you'll know it upon reviewing it.
Complete? You mean that it never originally came with a clear canopy for the cockpit?
The cage was the best one!
If only Roddenberry knew the money is in the merchandizing.
I don't know if this is AI or not but Barrett's first name is pronounced MAY-gel, lol
The first 3 were filmed.
THIS audience is DEFINITELY TRILLED! lol
Very interesting… I didn’t know that the first series didn’t have Captain Kirk in it.
I believe mr. Jeffrey Hunter wife thought the show was beneath him. Also he got sick and died. Correct me if im wrong
I would love to have seen Lloyd Bridges in the role as he was always an actor who could create a sense of empathy along with strength. I know one of the reasons why SF became, er, not his cup o'tea, but I think he was being too cut-and-dry about that assessment for the wrong reasons.
As much as we love to laugh at William Shatner and his penchant for over-acting, I think he was the reason for the show's success. His chemistry with Nimoy, his womanizing, as well as his "righteousness" at every turn, made the non sci-fi parts of the show attractive to mass audiences. Thats why the Tribbles episode ranks #1 with many viewers. It's totally lacking in any sci-fi and is basically nothing more than a Love Boat episode.
He picked a bad time to turn down a role on Star Trek.
@@brucesmith9144 😅🤣
The Cage was filmed in 1964
IF THEY WERE SMART MAKE A MOVIE 60'S FORMAT ABOUT THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE AND THE CONSTELLATION HOW THE SHIP FOUGHT IT AND TIE IT INTO THE EPISODE OF TOS ONE ENDS AND THE OTHER START'S
My ultra-religious mother let me watch this in the 70s when I was little but she was deeply disapproving whenever Kirk kissed some alien female. So every episode was an excuse for her to tut-tut.
Kurtzman is Khan...
Nothing beats the original Star Trek! For example, the transporter. Ever notice how, whenever Scotty or Lt. Kyle were operating the transporter, they were both deadly serious? Notice how, even in the 'original' movies, the actors operating the transporter were, lackadaisical, casual, leisurely, non-concerned? Like it's a joke? "Hey! Two to beam up, Captain..." Believe Scotty: "Sir. Jim. You don't want to risk your life with a finicky transporter. Sir." But the writers LOST that seriousness in later renditions, it all became a joke, 'cause they're punk/kid writers, with no real-life grit experience. Scotty knew, and showed us all, that the transporter was not a machine to trifle with, or take for granted, and in fact required an experienced engineer to operate safely.
Unfortunately, modern Star Trek has no Thought-Provoking Ideas...
Star Trek competed against Laugh-In. Watching Laugh-In today, you would find it non-funny. It is all dated. Star Trek still has quality.
Rowan & Martin's LAUGH-IN was on Monday nights. The show it KILLED was THE AVENGERS with Patrick Macnee, when ABC stupidly moved it from its very successful slot Fridays @ 10 PM (yes really) to Mondays opposite what was the #1 show on the air. Network execs never learn: you only move a show when it's in trouble, you NEVER move it when it's successful. Every time they do that, it always LOSES some of its loyal audience, who suddenly don't know when it's on.
When NBC moved STAR TREK from 8:30 to 10 PM, several weeks, I actually forgot it was on. And I was a big fan at the time!
@@henrykujawa4427ironically they're still repeating the Avengers today while Laugh-In is just TV history.
communication
slower,, narrator !
Yes, esp. since the narrator's Irish accent has a few oddities (e.g., not saying 'th' - he says 'tree' instead of 'three'), so speaking more slowly would help non-Irish viewers.
William shatner admitted science and science fiction were the same I have great respect for that man
I believe Jeffrey Hunter was in The Cage episode as Captain Kirk?
Captain Pike
@@dansmodeluniverse Thanks
Did Jeffrey Hunter play the part of Jesus in a Biblical film?
@@user-wp4ju4hp5w yes, in King of Kings.
@@dansmodeluniverse Thanks. Being a musician in Symphony Orchestras I love the music for King of Kings and Ben Hur scored for full orchestral sound. Miklos Rozza I believe was the composer
@kevinkards is full of shit!! Better than the other star trek series!
I love you man, but, DARN please develop a smoother narration voice. I couldn't last halfway
Sadly our FUTURE has gone down DA tubes.
Do you have permission from Star Trek to post their videos and pictures?
Please get another narrator, this guy is awful
No, Star Trek is not science fiction, it's fantasy.
Never has there been such an amazing yet corny show.
Now imagine if it was as good as Star Wars
@YTCensors pretty sure that wasn’t necessary. Leave it to a Trekkie to overreact to a joke tho
@YTCensors you’re gonna talk about my humor being juvenile with the reply you gave? Gtfoh man
The question that I have for you is if it hadn't been for the introduction of the Space Opra or extensive story telling of "Star Trek" and "Lost In Space" would "Star Wars" ever gotten green light and been excepted the way it was?.
The question that I have for you is if it hadn't been for the introduction of the Space Opra or extensive story telling of "Star Trek" and "Lost In Space" would "Star Wars" ever gotten green light and been excepted the way it was?.
@@earth2006 it was barely given the green light. Lucas had to give up some huge concessions in order to get it made. What really helped push the studios was the “success” of American Graffiti. That movie is ultimately why Star Wars was made, way more so than other contemporary sci fi.
Narration is horrible.
I been watching this and is so corny
STAR TREK WAS CRAP
But here you are watching a video of it?
@@josephmackela8466 I had to watch it to see how crap it was
Yeah...right. Makes total sense.
TV is crap. I make an exception for (the 1st) Star Trek, All in the Family, Twilight Zone, and Monday Night Football.
@@kevinkards you like Alf?
A serious technical problem occurred for the second band, Christian Bland. I don't have the lead vocal microphone. I only have the lead vocal microphone effects channel. What the hell? He sounds like he's drowning in, Jupiter's atmosphere. It sounds terminal to me. I don't like it like this. I put in redundant backup provisions. Starting with the 3rd band. Never do vary from that, set up protocol. For all the future bands to come. Over 493.
Yes and so. I actually had my Recording Studio. Parked in the nightclubs backyard. Inside my truck. It's a Control Room On Wheels I referred to as the CROW.. Equipped with, over 40 microphone inputs. On large core snake cables. The length of an NFL football field. And it's completely soundproofed with whisper quiet HVAC heating and cooling. It's basically an, Audio Oasis. It's not a Mirage. It's Reel People.
I was only in business a couple of years as the Audio Oasis. As I got, Infected. With a lot of Video Equipment. Cameras, switchers, recorders. And so calling myself the Audio Oasis no longer made any sense. And I was wondering what I could call this, Bird, now? And do I have a, Bird Brain,, for doing this? I didn't want to be a, Dodo and go extinct. I needed a really Smart Bird I could, CROW, about. And realized. Crows were smarter than, Chimpanzees.. They are the most intelligent bird in the world. They can also talk. But they would rather, squawk. Ravens are more talkative. And they are all from the same, genus of Genius Birds. And so crows are of the, Covid, genus. When you put them on video. But that was not a positive moniker, anymore. And their TV show is canceled called, The CROW.
Soon it will be my TH-cam channel. And I will drive and wander aimlessly from city to city. In my old, White Trash Motor Home, Recording Facility. And catch some local performers. To make that week's show with them. And then interview them. Package it up nicely. And make it a regular Series. Basically inspired from Dave Grohl's, Sonic Highways for HBO TV. Which I had been planning to do before that HBO series ever existed. He just beat me to the punch.
And so they are cover bands? I will just have to pay the, publishing copyright fees. They are not that much. So TH-cam won't have to, censor nor delete them for copyright infringement. No! They will be officially and financially cleared. Because I think TH-cam. Needs a decent regular live music TV show. That gets around. That goes to the places. And features that local flavor. And because Alex Jones, sucks! Just totally sucks! And we need something better! Something that will inspire people to act more like Americans again. Getting together through the common bond of music.
I wanted to make this happen, 10 years ago. But I have been repeatedly attacked here in Texas. Physically, professionally, personally, financially. Attacked on purpose by Texan psychopaths. In possession of guns and badges. They are actually Nazis. And the cops decide they are judged jury and executioner's. And they decided my recording studio wasn't my studio. It was the felonious assailant that attacked me at my studio. They decided it was his. They arrested me at my studio. After this guy attacked me. The Texan Nazi cops work for felons against Americans they don't like. It's really quite horrific. It's unthinkable. Unfathomable. That, Texans are not Americans at all. They are Enemies of the USA and the American people. And they need to be dealt with, severely. They have destroyed my life. On purpose. They are beneath Scumbag.
No naturally fertilized and hatched, Texan, is a human being. They possess no humanity. They like hurting and killing Americans they don't like. They are true Nazis. Fascist, psycho Nazis. They have declared War. On the LGBTQ plus community and the American People. It goes beyond Unforgivable! It was a total and complete, disruption and denial of all of my constitutional rights in the USA. As severe as you can possibly imagine. Beyond severe. Unrecoverable. They have murdered me on paper.
