"Star Trek" never had a huge budget to begin with, AAC.
Lots of "Cheapness" if you look closely. Mc Coy's first Tricorder hand held Sensor was actually a Salt Shaker from the Studio Commissary.
It was also one of the first shows to use Velcro in place of buttons.
Jack.
Oh, I knew that their production budget was thin. However, some BBC productions in the 1960s and 1970s made classic Trek look lavish.
OH yeah how about Mission IMpossible LOL!
You know who was first head of Mission Impossible it wasn't Peter Graves I give you a hint he went to play DA Adam Shriff on Law and Order that right Steven Hill reason why he left MI because as Orthodrox Jew they want him film on Sabbath when sundown went down on Friday he left the set even middle of the scene
That really tick off the studios so they kinda fire him LOL!
Don't worry least on Law and Order NYPD cops would kick Rollin Hand a*** I THINK
