It was at a very weird time. voice-verified

They did only three seasons, although that was enough because they did like 26 episodes in a season or something to make voice-verified

And they had like writing campaigns to save it, although the fact is that NBC wasn't going to voice-verified

Wasn't really gonna cancel it. voice-verified

It was kind of like overstated it was it was weird timing because it was just as Demographics in ratings started to matter and the fact is if if they had held out like even another year Star Trek's audience was actually kind of huge Especially it was young voice-verified

And it was well-educated, but it was a little too early for that to have taken hold as the way you sold commercials on TV. voice-verified

And there's some great books called These Are the Voyages that tell the detailed stories of the making of the original Star Trek. voice-verified

And a little-known fact... voice-verified

is that mostly they didn't make a fourth season of Star Trek because NBC was tired of Gene Roddenberry, who was just insufferable. voice-verified

I mean, seriously, he was insufferable. voice-verified

He totally dropped out of the production of the third season, and he drove away all the talented people who had written the first two years. voice-verified

So third season is kind of lousy. voice-verified

But you know what? voice-verified

In hindsight, if they had gone on and made a couple more seasons of Star Trek, the original series, voice-verified

I don't think there ever would have been a Star Trek after that. voice-verified

I think that the cult... We got the moment that this weird three-season show became a thing that 60 years later they're still making and talking about. voice-verified

So, you know, you don't want to step on that butterfly. voice-verified

But it was, yeah, it was more popular... voice-verified

then I think we are told, the stories we're told about it are, because it was just super popular in some areas of the culture. voice-verified

And yeah, if it had been literally five years later, it would have been a hit because they would have said, everybody who's watching this is young and well-educated. voice-verified
