I cannot believe I saw the 30th anniversary of Star Trek and 2 years time I'll be around to see it's 60th.

[@dougadams9419]

2026 for the 60th. Anniversary Special (if there is one). I'll be 74 or 75 depending on when (if) it is on TV.

[@isaacs.5862]

I was barely ten years old when I watched this live on TV. What a special memory this was.

[@Silenced23]

I was a stand in on StarTrek Enterprise. I'll never get an award :( However when I stepped on the bridge, I literally had tears running down my face. I wasn't filmed on the bridge but I got to stand on it for a short time. Greatest experience of my life.

[@darthkurland]

Alexander Colon who did you stand in for on “Star Trek: Enterprise?” I’m guessing Malcolm Reed?

Even tho I come from Babylon 5, this is moving. Without Star Trek, even B5 would not exist.

[@manlyscents]

I remember watching this a few months after it was initially broadcast. With the TNG team making hit movies, and DS9 doing well and Voyager just launched, and Star Trek Experience attractions about to open... Star Trek was the undisputed king back then.

RIP Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, and James Doohan. Brilliant actors all of them. May William Shatner go on forever.

[@jmendoza2003]

If Leonard Nimoy and Patrick Stewart could have been there in person, then the entire Star Trek family from TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager would have all been on stage in full force and would have been the only time you see them all in one place and that would have been historic moment.

[@justrosy5]

Majel Barrett wasn't there either :'(

[@jmendoza2003]

Though she was nurse Chapel in the Original but wasn't on every episode and TNG she Counselor Tori Mom bring a different character and was the Enterprise Computer voice. So your making her count of appearing then that make sense.

I did. At least I watched the original Star Trek series when it first came on TV back in the 1960s.

[@randymiller3075]

I've seen this so many times that being a lifelong STAR TREK follower and disciple since September 8,1966 when I was in the fifth grade. So as always "LIVELONG AND PROSPER AND PEACE AND LONG LIFE" and " INFINITE DIVERSITY IN INFINITE COMBINATIONS "!

[@isaacs.5862]

I can't thank you enough for preserving this on KZbin. The thematic connection to the Space Program, the skit with my favorite sitcom cast, almost all the actors/actresses from the golden age of Star Trek, and of course the theme music from DS9 make this one of my fondest Star Trek memories.

And they CBS did NOTHING to celibate the 50th, but they did green light DiscoVery.

[@qwerty99337]

@@neilfuller6024 Another TV special like this would have been a great way to have celebrated the 50th anniversary. Because they could have included cast they didn't have at the time of the 30th like Jeri Ryan (7 of 9), the cast of Enterprise, the cast of the new movies. And of course a memorial speech for the ones who have passed on (DeForrest Kelley, James Doohan, Majel Barret, Grace Lee Whitney, Leonard Nimoy, the young actor that played Chekov is the re-boot movies, and of course Roddenberry himself).

[@qwerty99337]

@Angel Wyngs Thank you. I couldn't recall the way his last name was spelled.

[@matthewburns3471]

When the 50th came Star Trek was was not being made apart from the movie by Paramount. CBS is now a completely separate entity and they were not making any Star Trek at that point. In '96 you had DS9 and VOY at full speed., not to mention First Contact as well. The TOS were fairly fresh still from their last appearances in the franchise too. Getting all together was a lot easier during that period than it would be now. I think it's fair to say also that Trek in 96 was bigger than it is now in 2020 for example. Not sure it will ever reach that level of popularity again, but who knows?

As a kid i liked ST but watched it and stayed up to watch the show after.. Space 1999.

THIS brought tears in my eyes! Because you see, I am a brontosaurus, born in the sixties, I grew up listening Beatles and Creedence and all of them. I grew up in the Star Trek and Apollo era! The first game I ever played was a very naive alphanumerical game called Star Trek, somewhere in the past eighties, beyond the communist Iron Curtain, in Romania! But there were Kirk, Uhura, Scottie, Spock,everyone of them! That's why now, my eyes are a little bit ...foggy should I say? Beam me up,Scottie!

[@qwerty99337]

This was a much better tribute than anything they had for the 50th. They had the casts of all the shows that were around at the time. Enterprise didn't exist yet. Patrick Stewart and Leonard Nimoy were out of the country when this aired but both had recorded a short video to be played for this. The only person I don't recall seeing is Alexander Siddig. If they had done something like this for the 50th, they could have had a memorial segment for those who had passed on.

[@cloudfactory2000]

Tracy Wood Stewarton and nimoy had the sense not to get involved with this rubbish.

[@echozgus]

Much better than the 50 year celebration with JJ Abrams talking about his movie

[@LogoAttitude]

The 30th anniversary was Star Trek's first milestone anniversary after then-owners Paramount became part of Viacom. The host, Ted Danson, was a veteran of Paramount's "Cheers", and later starred on "Becker" for the studio, itself having a Trek alum in Terry Farrell (formerly of DS9). During the original run of "Cheers", Kelsey Grammer, who went on to portray his "Cheers" character Frasier Crane on a spin-off series for 11 years, made a guest appearance on TNG.

[@CybershamanX]

Star Trek really needs to come back to TV. While the new JJ Abrams films are certainly entertaining, the one thing sorely missing from their formula is the challenging issues and topics which every Trek show before them tackled. That and we having nothing really vested into those "new" characters. New Spock's cry of "Kahn!!!!" in the latest film was no where near as emotional as Old Kirk's because while we know on an intellectual level that New Spock and New Kirk are close friends, we as an audience have barely known them. The JJ films are just thrusting too much at us too fast in the hope that we'll connect and tap into what has already been established in our hearts. In short, we need to get away from the pure action and coat tail riding of the new films and get back to our Trek roots on TV. What form that should take I'm not entirely sure. But I'm afraid with the new films taking center stage we may have shot our hopes for a more intelligent new Trek in the foot. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see... :/

[@calhoun24]

I wholeheartedly agree. Star Trek needs to eventually return to television. It might take a while, but it will get there. The current Abrams produced movies are nice, but they lack the heart of what Trek really is.

[@jmjfanss]

***** I Doubt it.

[@CybershamanX]

Yeah. I'm getting old. People are starting to not really "watch" TV anymore. Just cue it up on Netflix and watch it in a binge session. It's not so cut and dry anymore. I still think ST needs to make a comeback to mainstream media, though... :/ And, yes. It gives me hope... :)

[@EvilLOON]

CybershamanX I agree man. I think the series from TOS to Voyager were epic space based tv shows. Bacula, sorry man. I tried to get through 4 seasons of Enterprise, but I kept seeing him as Sam Becket. Over all we have a gaping hole in the space drama genre. No Star Trek, No Farscape, No Babylon 5(minus the first season), No Red Dwarf, No Andromeda(Kevin Sorbo meh, but the show helped fill the space drama hole). I know Im missing something in that list. Dr Who helps fill that gap, but not quite. We need our Captains damn it, we're space nuts not doctors.

[@CybershamanX]

Scott G It looks like we may be in luck. Paramount is starting to sniff around the idea of bringing Trek back to the small screen. They are even letting a fan who has been trying to get his idea looked at for the last 20 years a shot. :) screencrush.com/star-trek-tv-return-pitch-uncharted/
