I was raised on Star Trek, this was an epic show.

This, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits were rare cases of a screen science-fiction property that was actually trying to bring something of the sensibility of decent-quality print science fiction to television. And the other two were wide-ranging anthology shows, rather than an adventure show with continuing characters. So that made Star Trek somewhat unique in American TV--other shows that were playing in that area ("Lost in Space" was the main competition) were much broader and cheesier.

Jeffrey Hunter's wife absolutely hated the scenes with VIna, as she thought that the actress, Susan Oliver, was "coming on" to her husband. So when NBC offered Hunter the continuing role as Captain of the Enterprise, SHE, (Mrs. Hunter), came down to the studio to say, "My husband is a movie star. He does not want to make television programs." End of scene. Until, Hunter himself found out about this after a casual run in with a friend on the production. Turns out, he hadn't known of the NBC offer, nor would he have turned it down, as he needed the work. But William Shatner had been hired by then and was in the midst of filming his first episode. So it goes.

Nice retrospective. I grew up with Star Trek so most of the information I already knew. Airbrushing Spock's ears was new tho. I like that you included a nod to Galaxy Quest and the Monkees. You touched on the KIRK-SPOCK-MCCOY triumvirate a bit which was good. The TRIUNE BRAIN that we humans utilize is well explained by the relationship between the three iconic characters... MR. SPOCK represents the NEOMAMMALIAN or Neocortex that governs logic and problem solving. DR. MCCOY represents the PALEOMAMMALIAN (or Limbic system) that governs emotional prioritizing. CAPTAIN KIRK represents the REPTILIAN COMPLEX that governs autonomic responses, appetites, sex drive, fight or flight reactions, egotistical line counting, etc. Like the Captain, the Reptilian part of the brain can easily overrule the rest of the brain during a crisis or in extreme situations. Thanks for posting this review. It is the gift of Landru.

He carried on an affair with his PA, on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Roddenberry was, to put it kindly, not a very nice or honorable man.

The thing I always appreciated about so many of Starfleet's Constitution Class starships becoming victims of some threat or other is it made it seem like the stakes were pretty high -- there was nothing separating those ships from the Enterprise other than the people serving aboard them. It is widely accepted in the fandom that Kirk and crew returning from their five year mission safely was kind of a big deal, and elevated them to living legend status by the time-frame depicted in the movies. Whereas all starship crews seen on the TV show had their own emblem on the uniform, from the movies onwards all Starfleet personnel wore the Enterprise delta patch, apparently in homage to Kirk and his crew surviving and coming home alive where so many others had perished.

I was raised on Star Trek, this was an epic show. Of course they had the same advantage in sci fi which the Beatles had in music.... being first on a new scene they could explore without expectation and everything which they did set the standard and those shows which came after them would be compared to them and usually badly!

This, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits were rare cases of a screen science-fiction property that was actually trying to bring something of the sensibility of decent-quality print science fiction to television. And the other two were wide-ranging anthology shows, rather than an adventure show with continuing characters. So that made Star Trek somewhat unique in American TV--other shows that were playing in that area ("Lost in Space" was the main competition) were much broader and cheesier.
Nice "he's dead, Jim" remix there.
Hopefully the next installment has some mention of writer/showrunner Gene L. Coon who actually created Klingons, Khan and Prime Directive and officially named United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Command.

Of course, if you watch several episodes after "The Prime Directive" installment, they actually do the opposite of what the directive was intended to do.
Jeffrey Hunter's wife absolutely hated the scenes with VIna, as she thought that the actress, Susan Oliver, was "coming on" to her husband. So when NBC offered Hunter the continuing role as Captain of the Enterprise, SHE, (Mrs. Hunter), came down to the studio to say, "My husband is a movie star. He does not want to make television programs." End of scene. Until, Hunter himself found out about this after a casual run in with a friend on the production. Turns out, he hadn't known of the NBC offer, nor would he have turned it down, as he needed the work. But William Shatner had been hired by then and was in the midst of filming his first episode. So it goes.

This vid is UNCANNILY timed for me, as I'm just working my way through TOS (for the first time in a few years) and loving it. Great video, mate, this channel is one of the most consistently hilarious on KZread.
This is delightful. I was mindlessly roaming and I thought, oh another "about Star Trek" video. Ho hum. But it is lovely - pitch perfect and pretty fair minded. The timing between the narration and the pictures - excellent. Great editing job, too. Well done!!!
I've seen a lot of videos about Star Trek. This one is very well edited, made me laugh at times.
I still like "Spocks Brain" as stupid as it is, its still enjoyable to watch and does have dramatic moments in it with Dr McCoy and the women of course and society and even the basic sets. Fun.. I think theres good episodes in all 3 season so pretty good given the money they had to work with..

Spock's Brain is pretty much quinessentially what I thought Star Trek was before I sat down to watch it to enjoy the cheese, ironical like (I enjoy me a so bad it's good movie or show) I fell in love with it for all the reasons one might, but I adore that it still has really silly episodes like Spock's Brain, just to satisfy that initial itch :)

Spock's Brain is goofy but fun. And this is the only episode where the main viewscreen is actually functional and not an optical effect. Unfortunately there were too many technical and logistical issues for that to continue, as convincing as it was. In fact, even today it's more trouble than it's worth

Spock's Brain was one of my friends favorite. It's interesting that it was the opening show for the third season as Amok Time opened season two. A testament to the popularity of the Spock character and no doubt upsetting shatner to no end.
This was ground breaking in its day . More clever and original that most. It's withstood the test of time
Of the countless videos about the history of Star Trek, somehow this video seems fresh and new - Good job!
All I can say is . . . Star Trekking across the Universe Boldy going forward cause We can't find reverse . . . Great work as always. 👌
Yes, Shatner has in fact spent time in outer space. Video wins my thumbs up and subscribe for pointing that out.
The 100% Shattner end credits made me chuckle ^^
I have been a Spaceship movie fan since about 6 or 7 over that many Decades ago .. . I used to watch Star Trek with My aunt who I suspect had a Thing for William Shatner .. . When I was about 6 I had small plastic Space Ships I fought each other with, I always Won .. .
Before she died, Majel Barrett recorded over 20,000 lines of dialogue and phonemes to be used as the Starfleet computer for future shows. Boeing briefly used her voice for aircraft warnings, "terrain...pull up," though she wasn't the original "Bitching Betty". Boeing thought a female voice would be more authoritarian than a male voice.
Star Trek reruns were shown on channel 13 Indianapolis after the nightly news. They would end the news cast saying "It's time to beam aboard the Enterprise and do the transporter effect to the news crew fading out and Star Trek starting.
Love. Star. Trek tv. Show
Great show, love the original series! Beaming down in anything other than a yellow (mustard), blue, or red jersey meant certain death for the unfortunate crew member.
Great stuff, love the humorous editing….very subtle and works perfectly. Well done.
Hey there. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. I've always loved star trek. I really love it even more so now as it is on TV again. As kids my brothers and I learned word for word that song "Star Trekking across the Universe" it came out in 1987. Dr McCoy's famous líne is in it.

I began watching Star Trek in reruns in the 1970's on WPIX channel 11 NYC on weeknights at 12:00 AM as a boy. With school the next day.
I like the unknown Star Trek, with the original cast. From the Animated series, and the CD-ROM games which has the majority of the original cast. To the studio make your own adventure, which had clips of the actors playing their parts, as well as the audio books read by the case. Captain Sulu adventures are rather enjoyable.
"What a man gets up to inside of his own Jeffries tube is his own business..." I lost a mouthful of good coffee over that one! Very entertaining video.
Awesome! A new Stam Fine review of one of my favorite shows for me to watch while I play the slot machines on my break as a teller at the bank!
Great video, I cant wait to see the next part!
20:33 thank you for bringing up the nurse Chapel/Spock "love" tease. when i was watching Strange New Worlds i notice the new nurse chapel was heavily flirting with Spock and to me it seemed outta place. i know some new details can be edged in without breaking cannon. which is what i thought they did here. being a TOS fan i cant believe i either missed that early flirting or somehow forgot about it. so thanks again.
I so want to see a ST movie based on what happened to the _Piece of the Action_ planet (Ionians???) and what they did with the tech learned from McCoy's communicator.
Excellent ✍️ wrighter excellent series
"More spinoffs than a pair of really competitive silkworms" 🤣🤣👏🏼
If you want to know about all the dirt associated with Star Trek, like the on-going feud between Nimoy and Shatner you need to read a book called Inside Star Trek - The Real Story written by Herbert F Solow and Robert H Justman who were the producers of the original series. Among the mysteries revealed is what happened to Bill Shatner's missing toupees?
17:56 Never heard dubstep like that before. It...slaps...? 4:51 Barbara Bouchet is so thirsty she forgot they were filming 😄
I have a cd of Shatner's 'The Transformed Man' and Takei's comic 'They Called Us Enemy', so it kinda evens out.
@24:21...the running of ALL of the William Shatner credits...LOL!😂
Good stuff! Witty, and insightful...
I liked your style of a story I've heard many times.
The only cast member who could compete with Shatner in the narcissism department is George Takei.
Star trek was and is culture changing
Nice retrospective. I grew up with Star Trek so most of the information I already knew. Airbrushing Spock's ears was new tho. I like that you included a nod to Galaxy Quest and the Monkees. You touched on the KIRK-SPOCK-MCCOY triumvirate a bit which was good. The TRIUNE BRAIN that we humans utilize is well explained by the relationship between the three iconic characters... MR. SPOCK represents the NEOMAMMALIAN or Neocortex that governs logic and problem solving. DR. MCCOY represents the PALEOMAMMALIAN (or Limbic system) that governs emotional prioritizing. CAPTAIN KIRK represents the REPTILIAN COMPLEX that governs autonomic responses, appetites, sex drive, fight or flight reactions, egotistical line counting, etc. Like the Captain, the Reptilian part of the brain can easily overrule the rest of the brain during a crisis or in extreme situations. Thanks for posting this review. It is the gift of Landru.
Great video. Looking forward to the next episode.
GREAT bit Stam Fine! Your wit is sharper that a Klingon dagger!!!
That was great, it was so funny, well done mate.
Very funny commentary.

Great vid. Very well put together.

Absolutely love ST. Did anybody else go to watch them at ANZAC House in Sydney? I use to love Saturday afternoon watching Flash Gordon and Star Trek while buying a cookie at intermission and looking at the market tables
Brilliant review with all the hallmarks I've come to associate with the fantastic Stam Fine - informative, entertaining hilarious and professionally presented. It's well documented a "tengenial" atmosphere is instrumental to high performance creative endeavours. It's widely deployed in ballet companies to keep everyone on their toes.
Keep on Trekking Baby
I’ve been watching Star Trek since the 60s main thing about it is the actors fit like a glove and you really thought that Leonard Nimoy was from Vulcan I really enjoy it next generation deep space nine and all the others they were really great and all the movies

The executive who assaulted Grace Lee Whitney was later named: it was Gene Roddenberry. He also had an affair with Majel Barrett, while married to another woman and was two timing Barrett, with Nichelle Nichols and tried to get her into a three-way with Barrett. He carried on an affair with his PA, on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Roddenberry was, to put it kindly, not a very nice or honorable man. Harlan Ellison was one of the people who had no problem calling Roddenberry what he was: a thief, a liar, and a womanizer.
Spock was attractive because he was dark and mysterious.
Great video! Of all the original cast I have only ever met Majel Barrett and she definitely didn't like William Shatner...she refused to sign a picture I had of her and Shatner at a convention...She relented in the end but I really didn't know how much Shatner was disliked by the other cast until that point.
Dude, you make me laff harder than a newbie @ their first Andrew Dice Clay gig!
Brilliant, as usual.
Vulkans don't supress emotions they control them by Logic. This is a great difference.🖖

i have a LOT OF THE original STAR TREK series on DVD and THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF actors playing captain Kirk in OTHER series But William SHATNER WAS THE BEST captain Kirk...REST in peace LEONARD Nimoy YOU WERE THE BEST Mr SPOCK
"Brain and brain! What is brain?" 😄 That particular episode was not particularly cerebral. Good use of that clip.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Great job!
At 7:45 is Laurel Goodwin, the last surviving cast member from the Cage. Sure she didn't make it to the series, but she did co-star with ELVIS in Girls,Girls,Girls in 1962.
The biggest problem with Star Trek was that NBC was cheap. Whereas CBS would pay 100,000 dollars an episode (they were the Tiffany network after all) NBC would only pay 75,000 per episode. Considering they had next to no budget they did an amazing job of writing, acting and set design.
Sir, i have deeply enjoy your video!!!! A LOT! :) The humorous inserts always caught me offguard and are just perfect!!! xD This really is a treat to all of us who love Star Trek and for those who are not fans but are still interested in Star Trek and wanna know more about it. You've earned yourself a new Subscriber ^_^
A great video about classic Star Trek. how about review of Space:1999 series , or Battlestar Galactica 1978 series ?
The thing I always appreciated about so many of Starfleet's Constitution Class starships becoming victims of some threat or other is it made it seem like the stakes were pretty high -- there was nothing separating those ships from the Enterprise other than the people serving aboard them. It is widely accepted in the fandom that Kirk and crew returning from their five year mission safely was kind of a big deal, and elevated them to living legend status by the time-frame depicted in the movies. Whereas all starship crews seen on the TV show had their own emblem on the uniform, from the movies onwards all Starfleet personnel wore the Enterprise delta patch, apparently in homage to Kirk and his crew surviving and coming home alive where so many others had perished.
“Red uniforms for sudden death”. Those poor guys
I adore your channel :)
Hilarious commentary, as always!
Dude. Top notch. If your videos were merely informative, they'd be interesting but feel like taking medicine. Your video's are actually fun. Keep it up.
I enjoyed this, excellent work. Shatner's behaviour toward autistic people and his support for transphobes has kinda soured TOS for me, but I do still love it, and videos like this are a good way of enjoying it again without Shatner ruining it :P

In the years prior to Star Trek, Roddenberry also dated Nichelle, but she broke it off when she found out he was also seeing their acquaintance Majel. During that time, he was also still married... 1960s, man...

Ah, man. You had my hopes up for an unknown sci-fi gem being out there; a series "about space life in the Marines". Rewatched that part 2 times before I heard correctly "base". Oh well, for those few minutes an entire show flashed through my noggin; it was pretty good, but they jumped the shark when they went to color at the end of the imaginary season (the change of silvery suits didn't help either).
Also, when you said that bit about a paintball pellet on a tiger tank, you should have cut to that bit in kelly's heroes when donald sutherland literally accidentally fires a paint shell into a tiger tank. I would have lulz. lol
