Star Trek: The Original Series
“Space: the final frontier.” The original Stark Trek series only ran from 1966 to 1969 on NBC, but it left an impact so great that it has continued to be adapted and spun off into new shows and movies for the past 50 years. Originally, it starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk, commander of the starship Enterprise, whose mission was to explore new worlds and civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.
Leonard Nimoy played first officer Spock, a member of the alien Vulcan race. DeForest Kelly played Leonard “Bones” McCoy, chief medical officer. Nichelle Nichols played Nyota Uhura, the ship’s communication officer; George Takei played Hikaru Sulu, the helmsman, and James Doohan played second officer Scotty of “Beam me up, Scotty” fame.
