not TOS, but yes, the first series. I saw today that the BBC had interviewed Mr Shatner (briefly) at a convention on a Golden anniversary, but from memory it was officially launched on TVs in September 1966. (with a pilot that went out a month or so previously, and pitching to the executives well before then)

So why this week ?

Regardless I can't find any channel that is showing an episode from the first series tonight anywhere, so I'll have to put on a tape of my own.

I don't subscribe to anything, but really was expecting more of a fanfare , even if just a quick nod to Mr Rodenberry on this side of the pond.

This version of his really is timeless.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Yes you are correct, but it was hardly completely out of context, far from it:rolleyes:
