"Star Trek” Turns 60 – Still Boldly Going?

Great Video Version: https://bit.ly/48WPbYd

After a very modest beginning in 1966, the original “Star Trek” TV series was canceled by NBC after only 3 seasons and 79 episodes. But it found new life in syndication and gradually became a cultural phenomenon. It went onto spawn 13 feature length movies between 1979-2016 (new one coming soon). It has also hatched 12 additional TV series (2 still running) that have collectively produced over 900 episodes (and counting). How does a TV show that lasted only half the seasons as one of its 1960’s TV contemporaries, “Mister Ed”, (about a talking horse) become a - still growing - $20 billion dollar franchise?

Anuradha and Thad are joined by returning guest host and “super fan” Jim Maurer to dive deep into the 60-year legacy of “Star Trek”. How did this nearly forgotten show rise from the ashes and become a surprise sleeper hit? We explore the groundbreaking nature of the show and its enduring influence on modern entertainment. We also give you some delicious scandal extras – like the first interracial kiss ever in primetime television. And the creator/showrunner, Gene Roddenberry, shagging 2 of his series’ actresses simultaneously, WHILE going through a divorce. Holiday fun for all!

Anuradha can be found at her Instagram accounts: @anuradhaduz_food and @artist_anuradhachhibber. Jim is also a professional photographer: jmaurerphoto.com.
