30+ Rare Finds From Star Trek Previews All in 1 Video!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 янв 2024
- During Star Trek’s original broadcast, each episode featured a preview trailer. These previews (edited by associate producer Robert Justman), were often completed before the episodes were finalized. After months of exhaustive research and carefully comparing the previews to the final episodes, I’ve determined that roughly 1/3 of the previews contain content that didn’t make it into the final episodes. I’m presenting this unused and otherwise lost content in four groups: deleted material, alternate takes, special captain's logs, and unfinished special effects. And starting tomorrow, I’ll begin publishing the previews themselves (as shorts) one per day until I’ve uploaded them all. So be sure to check them out as well. If you find anything I’ve missed, please be sure to mention it in the comments. I hope you enjoy this rather forgotten part of Star Trek’s history!

"I knew he would" from Sulu has baffled me for 50 years. NOW it makes sense!!
They changed the script from the 1 minute to 10 minutes so that they could have the conflict sequence with the Lieutenant having a nervous breakdown.
He was originally cast to be the radio officer, but NBC sent a memo insisting that Roddenberry diversify the bridge as the two pilots had only white male station officers on the bridge. They rewrote it to feature the actor and to write him out to make room for Nichols who was mostly cold reading as she had little time to prepare.
Her real acting style is contrasted with that flat performance in Charlie X and ManTrap.
There were several rewrite edit errors in Balance of Terror. That episode was revised heavily AFTER principle shooting had happened.
Agreed !
Agreed!!! That has baffled me my ENTIRE LIFE! Thank you for clearing that up. That absolutely never made sense. Now it does.
Thumbs up. Always bugged me
@@STho205I always wondered what he meant by saying that myself!! Wow! Who would have guessed?!
The original Star Trek was the best!
When I was a kid I think I was about 12, and I saw the very first preview of Star Trek in 1966 I Believe it was, I told my mother, this is going to be the best TV show ever! ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It’s funny how a single moment can have such a lasting impact. And I dare say you were correct, Star Trek is the best show ever! 🖖
@@MetaTrek Yes, I have grocked all Trek but keep returning to TOS. As a musician I consider the incidental music of TOS some of the best in the biz to this day.
I discovered and endeared Trek in early '70's syndication. The only memory I have of actual release date viewing is being horrified by the 3 'bad poets' (3 witches, Catspaw) as a 6 year old in '68 watching TV with adults at my Aunt and Uncle Litschers house in Indiana. I happened to be very close to the screen when that scene hit and jumped off to the side and turned to look at the adults, they all thought it was hilarious 😆
Thank you for this! It's amazing how many episodes are in each season of the original show. This show and others put out 20 plus episodes per season. Now we are lucky to get 9 or 10.
They really pumped them out back then. Amazing the quality was as good as it was under that grueling schedule!
I blame it all on England. Up until early 2000's, virtually every show had at least 24-26 episodes a year (Honeymooners has 39 episodes in its ONLY year; I Love Lucy was often in the 30's per season), and then someone saw the way they did it in British TV and this "Only 10 episodes means each will be so sharp and well done," seeped into American programs. Now, it has taken over and most streaming/Independent things only do 8 or 10 episodes a year. I think it is HORRID! Sopranos was the first one I remember doing it, and it has severely hurt American TV in my opinion.
Remarkable! Thanks so much for all of your effort in assembling this fan-tastic presentation.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
The show aired almost 69 years ago and we are still making watching and enjoying video breakdowns of small details concerning preview trailers. Kinda says it all concerning a truly great show
Absolutely! The fact that there’s still new aspects yet to be discovered speaks volumes about Star Trek’s enduring greatness. It's wonderful being part of a community that appreciates it so deeply. Thanks for the comment!
You've done an incredible job! I loved every second! Thank you for sharing this Lost Trek!
Thank you for the kind words. I loved every second making this video!
Also: the Star Trek laserdiscs contain these trailers just before end credits. big fun 😎
Laserdiscs? You mean those unnecessarily giant discs that serve no purpose and are way to expensive? My god.
The original 2004 DVDs got them as extra's
In the Corbomite Maneuver, the flaw in Kirk's tactic is Kirk says the reaction is equal and opposite the attack, so Balok could have tested the claim simply by hitting Enterprise with a low power attack, one its own defenses cohld withstand.
Never thought of that, good point. I guess Kirk truly was taking a gamble with Balok. Lucky for Kirk that Balok never intended to destroy the Enterprise in the first place!
Kirk says any DESTRUCTIVE energy used by the attacker creates an equal and opposite attack.
If you are bluffing go big
Jeffrey, thank you so much for the epic amount of effort that you put into making this video. And for all the wonderful and creative videos and original artwork that you post on Patreon too. I had not seen the TOS previews before, so it was great to see and hear scenes that I had never had access to before. I really appreciate your fixing the Balok/Sulu interchange in "Corbomite": that has always irritated me. Having Spock mention Kirk by name to Pike is powerful to hear, and the explanation of the tree switchero in "Shore Leave," which I had not noticed before (despite that being one of my favorite episodes) was very cool. And of course, the humor you weave into all of your videos is always appreciated. Keep up the superb work, and live long as prosper. :)
Incidentally, great job on the graphics on the thumbnail. That Star Trek gold against a dark background is beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words, and for appreciating the effort I put into the video. Fixing the Balok/Sulu interchange and pointing out the "Shore Leave" tree switcheroo were moments I hoped would enhance the viewing experience. I’m glad that my attempts at humor resonate with you. Creating content that brings joy and adds value is what I aim for, and your positive feedback fuels my creative spirit. Your support on Patreon is truly appreciated, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share original artwork and content with you there. Thank you for being an part of this amazing journey. Live long and prosper, my friend!
Also, thank you for the complement on the thumbnail! I like the look of gold on black too.
It seems like continuity on tv shows back then was not considered important.
???
Love this kind of stuff, keep it coming!
Thanks, will do!
This is nothing short of brilliant work! Thanks for this!
You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
In The City on the Edge of Forever, the preview Spock line "Edith Keeler must die..." has a close up on Spock, and yes, the line is very effective. But knowing Shatner's fondness of his own close up's, I'm sure that he vetoed that close up of Nimoy, and it was turned into a two-shot. Love your content, great work. Love Star Trek!
Thank for the great comment! I wouldn't be surprise at all if your right about Shatner insuring that he had more close ups. Things were pretty competitive between him and Nimoy back in the day.
Congratulations on 100,000 views on this video, Jeffrey!!!
The Meta Trek you are taking us on is just beginning…. LLAP!
Thank you for that. May this Meta Trek never end . . . LLAP!
Did I miss you mentioning this one? In the Requiem for Methuselah preview, we see Kirk's full face as he looks at the miniaturized Enterprise, where in the episode we only see his eyes on the bridge viewing screen.
No, I totally missed that unfinished effect from "Requiem." Thanks for pointing that out! I've rewatched that preview and have discovered yet another unfinished effect, and an extended clip!! I'm currently updating the video with these new finds and would like to give you credit for drawing my attention to that preview. PM me and let me know how you'd like to be credited. If I don't hear from you, I'll use your channel name. Thanks again!

You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your Star Trek memories!
Thanks for upload.
I've always thought that the music for TOS was superb.
Absolutely. There's a great youtuber who is currently covering the different composers that wrote the music for TOS. His name is David Page. Worth checking out.
@@MetaTrek Thank you
There is a RUclipsr named Fishman that extracted all the series music including incidental and background music for each episode. He had to take it off YT, but it is hosted on his homepage.
That was great & I thought I seen it all when it comes to Trek👍 actors back then really put in a lot of extra work with alternate takes reading extra lines 🖖
There's something that I've come to realize--there's more content out there waiting to be discovered than we'll ever know! Thanks for the comment.
One thing i recently found out is that the cowriter of this side of paradise, nathan butler was actually jerry sohl who did the corbomite maneuver and whom gods destroy which is bizaare since this side of paradise was an excellent episode and whom gods destroy was a silly episode in a season that was full of them. Theres a story in there somewhere.
Extremely through and interesting .Excellent job.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I knew about all of these previews, and I've seen them all. But I never knew that they were so different from the final edits! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm still posting the previews daily as shorts, so be sure to check them out!
It is allway ' s interesting to look behind the scenes of STAR TREK thank you .
Agreed, it was my pleasure being able to make this for other Star Trek fans!
I knew those trailers were different!!! Awesome! Thanks!!
You bet!
Excellent! Many thanks for all of these extra Star Trek details!! 🚀
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
What an effort put into such a special video! 😮
It certainly took a great deal more effort than I anticipated! Thank you for the kind words.
Enjoyed watching! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
I remember one more difference between the preview and the finished episode. In “The Omega Glory”, the finished episode had Cloud William’s voice dropped an octave. While his single line in the preview kept his voice at its natural level. It’s not much of a difference which makes me wonder why they lowered it, but it’s there.
Yes, thank you for posting this. I decided not to include that in the video (along with the pitch shift they did on the Talosian in "The Menagerie") as it didn't really fit in any of the categories, and there wasn't enough of a discernible difference. I also dropped a couple other minor differences from a couple of other episodes.
Thanks for this fun walk through memory lane. Quick notes, though. I think it was Abraham Sofaer who did the Melkotian voice in Spectre of the Gun, not James Doohan. Also, "Adonais" is pronounced the same way you would pronounce, "Adonis."
Glad you enjoyed the video. I stand corrected on the Sofaer/Doohan mix-up, but will stand by my pronunciation of "Adonais." Thank you for the comment!
@@MetaTrek I used to pronounce it the same way, but I kept getting corrected... You are a man of conviction. I salute you!👍
@@MetaTrekThen you're an idiot.
I'm afraid we've been pronouncing this wrong for the last 60 years . lol
my excuse, I probably misread the title altogether.

The Next Voyages in 60s font screenshot with the Enterprise is my desktop background at work. Visitors that are TOS fans of the show say they've never seen that image....
This was great, you showed us some good stuff!!!
Glad you enjoyed! You may be interested in some of my other videos too . . .
This YT Channel always surprises me with its unique and amazing content.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you’re enjoying the content, and there's more on the way!
Yeah I was recommended this video when I when was watching a trailer for The Motion Picture which contained footage that wasn't in the movie.
A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO PUTTING THIS TOGETHER
Your OCD and attention to detail are second to none. I tip my hat to you, sir. 🖖
Thank you for the tip of the hat! Your appreciation for the attention to detail and the effort I put into the content truly warms my heart. I tip my hat right back to you. It's fantastic to have supporters like you on this journey.
Excellent job. Epic!❤😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely brilliant my friend....really enjoyed that.....fascinating!!!!!
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. It really means a lot! Cheers!!!
Too cool! Thanks for the video,bro!
You bet! Thanks for the comment.
So much nostalgia! I remember the trailers!!! Are the “finished” episodes the Remastered ones?
I used a mix of original and remastered versions. I prefer the originals.
Nice work, thanks for this!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is gold 🔥
Thank you
Great idea, nicely executed and enjoyable to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Great job .thank you for the posting
My pleasure!
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very well researched.
Great job! - I seem to remember a preview of the Enterprise Bridge on fire, I was young, so it might have been the confusing the scene from a balance of terror on the outpost in the neutral zone that was under attack as the enterprise approached, but it was Kirk instead of Hanson. This maybe just confusion on my part, I was hoping that it was one of the unused clips, not sure if anyone one knows, or I am just wrong.
Can't say that I've ever seen that, or know of any deleted scenes that would have required a fire on the bridge. The scene that comes closest to that would be in "WNMHGB," when they make contact with the Great Barrier, there are explosions on the bridge. It would have been neat to see something like that in TOS. Keep looking around, maybe you'll find it someday . . .
Even though this is meant as an act of love, no matter how much the critics bad mouth Star Trek, it does not kill my love of Star Trek but increases it!
Nothing will ever kill my love for the original Star Trek either.
Fascinating!
Some real gems in there! I wonder what Kirk's "slightly over 2 centuries" line would have done to the official ST chronology, had it been left in?
That is part of the charm of TOS for sure is that they never seemed to know exactly when the series was taking place, which is probably for the best. Even TNG's first season seemed unsure if it wanted to commit to an exact date (until "The Neutral Zone" when it finally did, which contradicts Data's class of '78 reference from the beginning of the season). I always thought the elapsed time presented in "The Squire of Gothos" was a more realistic amount of time to pass from our time to the time depicted in TOS. There would seemingly need to be many centuries to have all the Earth colonies settled and then lost, and all the first contacts that went awry that (with all the Chicago mob histories left throughout the galaxy) the Enterprise had to clean up decades or centuries later. :)
I agree, the 23rd century never felt far enough into the future to have the extensive colonization depicted in TOS. I wonder why they eventually gravitated to the 23rd-24th centuries?
@@MetaTrek I think the novelizations mentioned it a few times and it just stayed in the fan consciousness
Well done video, Thank You
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it.
16:35 Though not mentioned, one also hears the Keeper's original voice as heard in the original version of "The Cage" as presented as a television pilot to network executives in 1964. These previews contain the only color footage of the Keeper with his original voice. More of the original voice can be heard in the black and white portions of "The Cage" as originally released with the introduction and conclusion featuring Gene Roddenberry walking about the sets of Star Trek III. The shrill voice of the Keeper otherwise always heard is a distorted version of Malachi Throne's voice that was looped in for the two parter. Malachi Throne had absolutely no involvement in the original production of the first pilot in 1964, but was a major presence in the two parter, both as Commodor Mendez and as the source of the new voice of the Keeper both looped into the original pilot sequences and as directly addressing Captain Kirk by name at the end of the two parter.
Thank you for mentioning the Keeper's original voice. I had considered pointing that out, but decided not to for brevity's sake. Cheers!
Just found your channel, Great Content. 👍👍
Thank you, and welcome aboard!
In reruns (80s?) they randomly played the previews for a year or so, and something about them seemed off.
This is great!
Thank you!
VERY COOOOL thank you
Thank you too, for commenting and subscribing! Cheers!
Fun video! One quick correction.
@13:20 You say "And the music heard in the preview is lifted from this shot in the corridor." Not quite. The music used in "Mudd's Women" as they walk through the corridor is by Alexander Courage and was recorded at the scoring sessions for "The Naked Time." It was recorded specifically for the "Mudd's Women" trailer. Fred Steiner would go onto score the "Mudd" episode, but the Courage trailer cue was tracked into that sequence, replacing music Steiner composed. This Courage trailer cue would also be tracked into the season two episode, "A Piece of the Action."
The unused cue by Steiner is titled "Venus Walks" and that, along with the Courage trailer cue, is available on CD from La-La Land Records.
Interesting!
You got a 'like' just for fixing "One minute."
Thanks for the like! I've been fixing that in my head for years, and finally had the chance to do it publicly.
I've watched all the original Star Trek series. My favorite is the TNG series, but I definitely enjoyed watching the original series because it had its own sensibility. It wasn't very popular in my country. While watching the series from the original to the VOY on Netflix, I really enjoyed the time I spent in the deep memories.
Fascinating.
Small correction:
The alternate window view behind Sean Kenney in "the Menagerie" is not from the original finished version. In the original, the views are of the same physical painting which was hung up outside the window. The alternate view is a digital construct created for the Remastered Edition.
Thanks for pointing that out, although I actually used the remastered version to help make the distinction between the deleted footage from the trailer and the footage in the episode more apparent.
Thank you for your time and effort that you put into this. 💯💢💥💥💢
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
The finished episode shots for 'Adonias' are the better ones.
I grew up with Star Trek. Spock saved my life. No lie! Long story. That’s why I cried the end of Wrath of Khan.
It's truly heartwarming to hear that _Star_ _Trek,_ and Spock in particular, has had such a positive impact on your life. The end of "The Wrath of Khan" is a moment that many of us find incredibly moving. Live Long and Prosper.
Also, interesting that many of your scenes are from the remastered versions.
I never understood the title of the episode "Who Mourns for Adonais". What does 'Adonais', a poem written by Shelley for Keats, and the Greek gods or Apollo ?
It probably should have been "Who Mourns for Adonis" in keeping with the Greek mythology theme of the episode. Just a guess.
It's a complex allusion for sure. One of the aspects of the original series I love so much is how often they incorporate poetry into the titles, dialogue, and themes of the episodes. In Greek mythology, Adonais (as Shelley renders the name) is a mortal man who died and was then deified. His worship involved several elaborate cultural practices springing up to celebrate his death and restoration to life/immortality. Keats and Shelley were part of the second generation [or perhaps, we could say: The Next Generation] of Romantic poets in England. In 1821, Keats dies, and to mourn for him, Shelley writes a pastoral elegy, Adonais. In the poem, Shelley compares Keats to Adonais, the immortal god whose death is an occasion for ritualistic celebration. (Adonais is also famous for loving Aphrodite, which...also connects to the Star Trek episode--yes, Leslie Parrish, I am looking at you). So in Shelley's poem, Keats=Adonais, a seemingly immortal personality, who experiences death. In the episode, Apollo is a seemingly immortal being, who also experiences death. Romanticism, in general, is well-known for accentuating the aesthetic values of emotion, human experience, and especially Nature. So the pastoral theme of Shelley's poem connects to the appreciation for nature that romantic poets incorporated into their poetry perfectly, and it also connects to the episode since Apollo literally wants the Enterprise crew to become shepherds and live out a pastoral existence. Of course, Shelley's elegy meanders (in a poetically inspired way) a bit, but its main point is that ultimately we should not mourn for Keats, who has gone on to become one with the Light, Truth, and Beauty of Eternity: Keats is part of Eternity as one day we too shall be. So ultimately, I think, the metaphor that connects the poem to the episode is that Apollo is seemingly immortal--just like Shelley's Keats was (due to the power of Keats' imagination and poetry), but Keats, Adonais, and Apollo all experience death. But because of the greatness of their spirits--all three will live on as part of our cultural inheritance forever, but also as part of the Eternal Light of the Universe. I also find it interesting that toward the poem's (Adonais's) conclusion, Shelley contrasts "the One," which is eternal, with the many which "change and pass." That might connect to Kirk's line at the end about not needing Greek gods anymore since "the one" is enough. That is probably too much of a stretch of interpretative fancy (I have heard other interpretations of that line), but who knows.
Wow, your insights on the episode title's complex allusion are enlightening! I appreciate your deep analysis and your ability to connect the dots between Shelley's "Adonais" and the themes presented in the Star Trek episode. Your exploration of the Greek mythology behind Adonais and its parallel with the seemingly immortal Apollo is fascinating. I love how you've drawn connections between the Romantic poets, the pastoral theme, and the desire for a simpler existence, mirroring Apollo's wishes for the Enterprise crew. Your comparison between Keats, Adonais, and Apollo, and the exploration of immortality and the eternal spirit are profound and beautifully articulated. Your interpretation of the concluding lines in Shelley's poem and their potential connection to Kirk's statement adds another layer of depth to the episode's meaning. I seem to recall that the line “We find the one quite sufficient” was either added at the behest of the network, or to placate the network, but that doesn’t mean that the line couldn’t have been inspired by the poem! Your thoughtful analysis has definitely enhanced my appreciation of Shelley's poem! Thank you for sharing such a well-researched and insightful perspective!
I appreciate the attempt to place ad breaks at predictable points, but Google had other ideas, a double unskippable pair every two minutes. Usually 30 to 40 seconds each.
3:18 Has anyone ever explained why Kirk couldn't tell where the sound was coming from? That's always bugged me, but no one ever mentions it.
That's always bugged me too. And the fact that Kirk and Spock were in Kirk's quarters for an extended period of time before the phaser started to overload. Must have a timer on it!
The phaser overload sound is non-directional.
Where was the clip of the Enterprise firing the red phasers from? 25:40
That's from the preview for "Balance of Terror." It didn't really fit into the unfinished effects category, but I still wanted to show it somewhere. It's interesting that they have the Enterprise firing phasers in the preview, but in the episode itself they kept showing photon torpedoes whenever Kirk ordered the phasers to be fired.
@@MetaTrek Balance of terror uses Phaser weapons set for proximity blast. I believe in real world this was done before they invented the Photon torpedo for the show.
Too bad you can't get access to the film library at Roddenberry's Lincoln Enterprises.
That would be awesome! By the looks of it (from The Roddenberry Vault) one could spend years in there going though all the unused footage!
Trek 4ever!!!😁😍
why did M5 go out of its way to destroy an ore freighter?
Perhaps he was just bOREd… 🤓
I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
oh come on, I've got to know, this is serious@@MetaTrek
I'm not sure why M5 destroyed the freighter, but I'm pretty sure the reason the show's producers had M5 destroy the freighter was to show that M5 was out of control.
what's with all the "we'll be right back" bits?
FASCINATING, INDEED, QUITE FASCINATING!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS
I'll bet that you loved Big Bang Theory.
I loved all of the _Star_ _Trek_ references!
9:38….The correct pronunciation is Melvin Belli (🔔👁️) not “Belly”…. overall it was great insight and production!
Thanks for the correction, although you should have heard my first take on his name, "Mellon Belly," my wife died laughing when I played it for her!
You made one mistake - the planet in The Galileo Seven was Taurus II, not Tarsus II.
I noticed that too, but only after the fact. Had it written correctly, but read it wrong!
At 17:25 you seem to confuse “Tomorrow is Yesterday” with “Return to Tomorrow.”
The darn thing is that I had it scripted correctly, but read it wrong and never realized it!
Have you heard about the Roddenberry vault? It's a collection of deleted scenes, alternate takes and raw Enterprise shot's that Gene Roddenberry saved.The film color has terribly degraded, but it's fascinating viewing.
you forgot some like in the Babel one and the Rome one
There were a few time that I didn't include the difference because there wasn't really enough to do anything with, like "Journey To Babel," and I didn't find anything different in the "Bread and Circuses" preview.
Actully the enemy ship in the Journey To Babel preview is depicted as a mere orange sphere instead of its final form another example of small detail.
Like the in the overheating scene of FTWIHAIHTTS is without the red effect in the trailer.
...Cap-tains...log
you pronounce Adonais wrong lol but ok
I just wanted to give a nod to "Star Trek Continues" the absolute best fan series!
Several Trek Alumni are featured!
Including Apollo from "Who Mourns for Adonias" in the premier episode!
The close-up of Spock in the preview versus having Spock deliver the line in the background of the finished episode kind of aligns with the rest of the cast complaining that Shatner was always trying to upstage the rest of the cast and often used his "Star Power" to persuade the director to give Shatner the close-up. I'm going to suggest "City on the Edge of Forever" is one of those instances! It has more impact with Spock delivering the line, then switching to Kirk's reaction; as opposed to keeping the focus on Kirk the whole time while Spock delivers the line.
The episode at 17:46 is "Tomorrow is Yesterday", not "Return to Tomorrow".
Oops! I get those titles mixed up sometimes! Thanks for pointing that out.
I always found “Return to Tomorrow” so oddly named. Seriously, that’s what you choose to call your episode, and it doesn’t involve time travel? ;)
@@thecaptain6730 I agree that the episode is badly named, but the title does make some sense if you look at it from the point of view of Sargon, Thalassa and Henoch, who are returning to physical existence half a million years into their own future.
I agree. Maybe "Trading Places" would have been a better name. Anything but "Return to Tomorrow," which I'll argue should have been the name for "Tomorrow is Yesterday." Perhaps me calling it that was a Freudian slip!
This was nice. I was able to overlook the narrator’s mispronunciation of a few names and getting the “Tomorrow” episodes mixed up. Thanks for putting it together.
What is this Add-o-ni-as? It’s Adonis.
Was 8 when Star Trek came out , caught every episode, saw the films and watched re-runs .... But never became a religious believer.
All these are just Jabs at a show like the rest were meant to tell a tale in a half hou, not to be torn apart by modern recording technology in review.
"on the male members of my crew"..
I'd say....
The original Star Trek was played at the wrong times It was lucky to survive three years on Television . So it went into syndication on networks with no letters just independently This increase popularity and ratings This why in 1980's It was shown on FOX at first Then Warner Brothers and United Paramount Network The brought the next generation Yet Star Trek original and the Next Generation is still shown on Either digital channels or streaming. Me TV and H& I show all these episodes. including BBC America is shown during the day and many episodes of the Next Generation. Along with Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager and The Enterprise. Heroes and Icons did change scheduling on The original from 8 PM Eastern to Midnight And place it with either non Star Trek series or the unpopular The Enterprise. Series.
I was 6 when original show aired, didn't really like it much, wasn't bad, batman Superman dark shadows were my favorites.
What I've yet to see is the actual coming episode trailers. I don't ever remember the first season showing the Enterprise turning in space, or the text "Star Trek"-"Next Voyage". What I do remember is a start of the trailer with Kirk's voice over, clips of the coming episode and a compressed font saying "NEXT WEEK". The text was in yellow with either a drop shadow or thin black outline...it looked a bit dimensional. It wasn't the "Star Trek" font either. The next week card was only on for a second or two and then the trailer played out...to be followed by the ending credits. I've never seen this on RUclips or anywhere else.
I'm posting them right now, one each day, until they're all posted.
You are correct. The opening shot of the Enterprise turning for the beginning of the previews for seasons 1 and 2 were something that was created for the earliest home video releases... and for some reason, has remained there. Why was this done??? I can't say for sure, because I barely remember it, but I'm almost sure that the beginning of the previews for seasons 1 and 2 contained an animated NBC logo. Of course, this would need to be removed, but they could have just used the season three preview intro for the other 2 seasons instead of creating one with such a weird font. And that was not a 60s font... that was an early 80s font used heavily in a lot of computer graphics from that time period.
The question is where can we see one of the original season one or two previews to see at least the first few seconds? I've looked here on RUclips and have not found anything. They did go out to stations when the show was first syndicated on film in 1969. WTTG in Washington aired the preview to Menagerie Part II in 1974 when they were running the show once a week on Saturdays. And I am sure there are collectors out there who must have gotten their hands on the 16mm backup prints that NBC ran in NJ (at the same time in case the feed went out from NY.)
Anybody have a link so we can all see?
@@Actingman6 It might be possible that someone might have a scanned 16mm or even a videotape of one of the original coming episode trailers. I was trying to remember whether the trailer came on right after the end of the episode or if there was a commercial break in between the end of the episode and the trailer...and then the ending credits. I tend to think there was a commercial break and then the trailer and then the ending credits.
Either way, I've tried looking for one of the originals and haven't found them on RUclips or any other site.
@@davidlarson2648 I was just looking at some of the Enterprise shots online and saw the 1st Act shot of the Enterprise and the Botany Bay from Space Seed. The font used for "SPACE SEED" is the same one I remember from NEXT WEEK used for the original first run Network trailers in '66.
Yeah,they have changed Star Trek over the year’s!I mean,about the special effect’s!But,I feel the show is;still our’s!It’s a good thing that they made Star Trek a long,time,ago,because,a lot of these actors are no longer with us!My mom’s(late)words,here!And,she was right!It was good it was made!And,let’s not forget those Jame’s Blish book’s!That’s classic Star Trek,too!🖖 Live long and prosper!
"Who mourns for A donis." To be exact.
You do realize that TOS episodes got a digital rework. But they did nothing to the old previews? Obviously not yet the majority of your points made here? Any fan already knew about. 😂

The title is "Who Mourns for Adonais?" not "Who Mourns For Adonis?"
Adonais and Adonis are not the same, although spelled similarly.
I have to ask, was Adonis mispronounced on purpose to get us to comment? I’m not knocking it, it’s effective.
I was not pronouncing "Adonis," I was pronouncing "Adonais," as the episode is called "Who Mourns for Adonais." But thanks for asking.
Why is the preview left and the finished episode right? It shuldbe be the other way round.
Adonais? It is ADONIS...
Wrong!
@@dngillikin I'm talking about pronunciation obviously... The i was confusing him. Who mourns for the Beautiful perfect one,.. Adonais (pronounced as surely even you know, like Adönis...). He said Adonais like he had never heard the word, (which is an appealing post Millennial thought,...) It was downright jarring. It made me completely and instantaneously; question who this person was, and how he could have such a glaring ommision in his knowledge to have never heard the name Adonis even once! I grewcuo in the 70's and 80's. We thought and talked and listened back then. My Mother took me to a double feature movie when I was 6. It was Momm8e Dearet and TOMMY (The WHO). I have no shortage of experience, knowledge and world awareness. This sounds to me like a young person who has lived a one dimensional childhood and young adulthood and yes, I get all that from one bad pronunciation...c
Rude to correct.
This upload reminds me of the Shakespeare play” Much a do about nothing “
Seeing new footage from OG Star Trek is _very_ important to fans of TOS. Anything but "much ado about nothing!"
That's what I figured! To each his own.
