Star Trek (1966-69). Part Two: Keep on Trekkin'
#StarTrek
In the second part of our Stam Fine Review of Classic Star Trek, we look the people who put the show together, financial issues, and examine some of the show's memorable elements: make-up, costumes, visuals, sound, music, merchandise. We also look Star Trek's rebirth in the 70's after finding a welcoming home in syndication.
Star Trek chronicles the adventures of the Starship Enterprise on its 5 year Mission to explore stuff. Star Trek stars William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr McCoy, James Doohan as Scotty, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Sulu, and Walter Koenig as Chekov.
