One truism about "Star Trek" in the 1960s was that its ratings were mediocre. Some have since claimed that the show was actually more popular at the time because of errors in the way ratings were determined back them. Were any of you around back then and enjoyed the show in its original run?
Yes, I was around. Yes, I enjoyed the show, although technically I wasn't allowed to watch it. It was a different time, space was the Final Frontier then.
I watched the original Star Trek and enjoyed it. Kind of inconvenient time...I think the local station had it after the night's news on Saturday. When it was cancelled, I was disappointed and thought that was the end. Little did I know that I'd be watching Star Trek at the movie theaters!
I can remember watching the debut episode, "Man Trap" (aka "The Salt Vampire"), and being pretty spooked when its true appearance was revealed at the end of the story.
We watched it; my mom loved the show and my dad thought it was a worthless outer space western. LOL
The show had some excellent writers and managed a nice balance of science, fantasy, and action.
