Episodes
Pilots (19641965)
Star Trek's pilot episode, "The Cage", was completed between November 1964 and January 1965,[29] and starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, Majel Barrett as Number One, and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. After being rejected by NBC as being "too cerebral" (among other complaints),[30] Jeffrey Hunter chose to withdraw from the role of Pike[31] when creator Gene Roddenberry was asked to produce a second pilot episode ("Where No Man Has Gone Before") of which an edited version of the same name aired in 1966.[32] [33] "The Cage" never aired during Star Trek's original run on NBC. It was presented by Roddenberry as a black-and-white workprint at various science fiction conventions over the years after Star Trek's cancellation, but was not released on home video until 1986, when Paramount Home Video produced a "restored" release of "The Cage" (a combination of the original black-and-white footage and color portions of the Season 1 episode "The Menagerie") complete with an introduction by Gene Roddenberry.[34] On October 4, 1988, Paramount Pictures aired a two-hour television special, hosted by Patrick Stewart, called "The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation To The Next" which featured, for the first time, a full-color television presentation of "The Cage". In some markets, the special did not air until October 15, 1988.[34] In the United States, "The Cage" was first released to DVD in December 2001.[35] It was later included on the final disc in both the original and "remastered" Season 3 DVD box sets (listed with the original air date of October 15, 1988).[5] [8] [36] The also planned-as-pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in its original form (production number 02a) has been forwarded to the NBC, but only a re-worked, re-edited, re-formatted, cut version was later aired under the same name not as pilot but as third episode of the series (production number 02b). Afterwards, over the years the original "alternate" version has been thought to be lost, but a print of it was rediscovered in 2009 and then by CBS/Paramount for the first time on home video released under the title "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" - The Restored, Unaired Alternate Pilot Episode as part of the TOS season 3 box set on Blu-ray[28] ; it has not been released on DVD, yet. In contrary to the episode made of its footage and of the same name, this version also remains unaired (in both normal or still undone remastered form), thus still awaiting canon status (also see Where No Man Has Gone Before#Airing version differing from original "alternate" version).

Season 1 (19661967)
After Roddenberry's second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", received a more favorable response from NBC,[32] [33] Star Trek finally aired its first episode - "The Man Trap" - at 8:30PM on September 8, 1966.[38] "Where No Man...", which eventually aired in a re-edited format as the series' third episode, retained only Spock as a character from "The Cage", but introduced William Shatner as Captain Kirk, James Doohan as chief engineer Scotty, and George Takei as physicist (later, helmsman) Sulu. DeForest Kelley and Nichelle Nichols joined the cast as ship's surgeon Dr. McCoy and communications officer Uhura in "The Man Trap", the first aired episode of the series. Although her character of Number One was not retained from "The Cage", Majel Barrett returned to the show as a new character, nurse Christine Chapel, and made her first of many recurring appearances in "The Naked Time". Grace Lee Whitney appeared in eight episodes as yeoman Janice Rand, beginning with "The Man Trap". Whitney left the series after "The Conscience of the King",[32] [39] [40] [41] but would later make minor appearances in the first, third, fourth, and sixth Trek films, as well as one episode of the sequel series Star Trek: Voyager. Star Trek's first season comprises 29 episodes, including the two-part episode "The Menagerie", which includes much of its footage from the original pilot, "The Cage". Other notable episodes include "Balance of Terror", which introduces the Romulans; "Space Seed", which introduces Khan Noonien Singh and serves as the basis for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; "Errand of Mercy", in which the Klingons make their first appearance; and the critically acclaimed,[42] Hugo-Award-winning episode [43] "The City on the Edge of Forever" which features Kirk, Spock, and McCoy traveling into the past through the Guardian of Forever.

Season 3 (19681969)
After Star Trek's second season, NBC was prepared to cancel the show due to low ratings.[46] [47] Led by fans Bjo and John Trimble, Trek viewers inundated NBC with letters protesting the show's demise and pleading the network to renew the series for another year.[47] [48] After NBC agreed to produce a third season, the network promised Gene Roddenberry that the show would air in a favorable timeslot (Mondays at 7:30 PM),[46] [47] but later changed the schedule so that Trek would air in the so-called "death slot" - Friday nights at 10:00PM.[46] [49] In addition to the "mismanaged"[47] schedule, the show's budget was "seriously slashed"[46] and Nichelle Nichols described the series' eventual cancellation as "a self-fulfilling prophecy".[50] Star Trek's final, 24-episode season began in September 1968 with "Spock's Brain".[2] The third season also includes "The Tholian Web", where Kirk becomes trapped between universes; this episode would later be revisited by two 2005 episodes of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise. The last episode of the series, "Turnabout Intruder", aired on June 3, 1969,[2] but Star Trek would eventually return to television in animated form when Star Trek: The Animated Series debuted in September 1973.
