Tonight, I saw something at the store I remember watching only a few times on Saturday morning as a child: Star Trek The Animated Series (affiliate, approximately $40 USD) that ran from 1973-1974.

The story picks up where the original series left off and features the voice talent of all the original crew members except Chekov (Walter Koenig). Alas, Koenig wasn’t left completely out of the project, penning one of the episodes “The Infinite Vulcan.”

I have fond memories of what little I saw those wistful Saturday cartoon mornings of my youth and am curious how it looks some 33+ years later. Besides perhaps the Simpsons, I don’t watch much animated stuff these days but I have a few friends who love animated pictures. Did any of you, friendly readers, follow this somewhat rare series of Star Trek? It didn’t last long, a mere 22 episodes, but is captured in a package similar to Star Trek Original Series. Whit with a splash of Halloween orange and the familiar ST insignia. It includes over 3 1/2 hours of special features.

This turned out to be one of those rough days better forgotten than remembered, but at least it ended on a positive note.

Did this post make you go hmm?
