A one-hour dramatic television series.
Action - Adventure - Science Fiction.
The first such concept with strong central leas characters plus other continuing regulars.

"We were treated like rock stars. I was told there were female Trekkies who kept lists of all the cast members with whom they'd slept. I was told this!"
Extracts from 'Up To Now', the autobiography of
William Shatner... from his time on
Star Trek, where he comes over as the colossal jerk of legend, to his poignant recollections of the death of his third wife.

Art Binninger was a sci-fi buff in the 1970s with the resources of the audiovisual squad at Vandenberg Air Force Base at his disposal. The result was
Star Trix, a claymation Star Trek parody, that spawned
three short films and Star Trix: The Flick (parts
1,
2,
3,
4, and
5). Art Binninger himself explains
the whole saga on his web site.

Cosmos Patrol: Star Trek for Communists In the late 60s, the Soviets copied the TV show
Star Trek and used it as propaganda and entertainment. Set in the 23rd Century, the 400 galaxy-exploring crewmembers are led by a handsome Commander with a coldly logical First Officer. Ensign Chekhov assists as they encounter alien life forms and embrace them as brothers.

Let it rest, already! The
fifth Star Trek series is going into casting, with filming to begin in May for a release in Autumn 2001. From the character descriptions it looks like it's basically a remake of the original series. I think they've run out of ideas. (Link via
