Tune in on Monday, November 20th at 8PM/7C for the TV Land premiere of “Star Trek: The Original Series.”

Also, register now for a LIVE CHAT with Mr. Sulu himself – George Takei on November 19, 2006 at 9PM/8C

TV Land is offering all fans of the iconic series a chance to purchase “TV LAND Legends Books” featuring images and stories of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and over 100 other TV celebs who have made television history.

The original Star Trek, even after 40 years, never grows old or tiresome, evidenced by this new resurrgence of interest in the program that literally changed the face of television and raised science fiction to a level of unprecedented prominence in the minds of people across the globe.

If it were not for Star Trek, there would be no Star Wars, Babylon 5, Farscape, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica or Stargate. Gene Roddenberry raised the bar and set a whole new standard in scifi. You can catch it all again now on TV Land beginning tonight at 8PM/7C with the pilot episode that never aired back in 1965. “The Cage,” starring Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, Majel Barrett (later on she married Gene Roddenberry) as the 2nd in command (she later took on the role of Nurse Chapel) and a very young, not so emotion-free Mr. Spock played by Leonard Nimoy.
