Maybe not glamourous but it stands head and shoulders above any and all of its successor and spin off shows. “Next Generation” for example, was execrable.

They couldn't even afford real rocks ...

I see Lurch found some work on the set too.
The Addams Family Lurch, not the one who’s “Gonna git me a Huntin’ License!”.
I was a fan immediately and still am.
I watch reruns and now realize there were some pretty weak episodes. Lots of good ones too. Also lot of pretty girls.
Looking back, I think the best thing was the cast, particularly the main ones.

Good stuff, but who’s going to believe a communicator that you just flip open and start talking to people on?
And you go to Amazon where they claim

What a load of crap. No one buys both those as bookends to each other...
Hilarious interview where you observe Shatner at his greatest.
He is always serious about work but insists on never taking himself seriously

brought to you by desilu production. for those who don’t get the connection, that was desi arnaz and his wife, who got her start with the three stooges - Lucille ball.
The women were hot
That’s all that matters
And I like Shatner....
It was always chilly on the bridge obviously
I first watched Star Trek in 1967, shortly after I was introduced to marijuana - I never laughed so hard in my life!
Even today, watching the original videos, I consider it to be the greatest (unintentional) comedy ever broadcast!
Kirk’s overacting, Bones, Scottie, Checkov, Sulu, Uhura, and especially Spok, still make me laugh.
Captain Kirk making out with green aliens, or Spok, the emotionless Vulcan, doing “the gay eyebrow lift”, the Golden age of comedy!
R.I.P. to my best friend Jimmy - he introduced me to ‘getting high’ in the vernacular of those ancient times, and also to Star Trek & Monty Python...
Wow, I didn’t know Valerie Jarrett was on Star Trek.
Gorgon, right?

Last week I watched a Shatner movie called “White Comanche” in which he ends up playing twin half-breed brothers. The good brother ends up killing the bad brother.
I should have watched it with a friend. We could have pulled the “Mystery Science Theater” thing. It probably was one of shatner’s best performances (not).
I think he was no stranger back then to HEARING yes, either.
I sent the story link to my youngest son. He and his girlfriend are going to the Louisville (Kentucky) Super Con in November. Shatner’s going to be there, and they’ve got VIP tickets to meet him. Should be fun!
