Fifty-nine years ago to the day, 8 September 1966, Star Trek (retroactively known as "The Original Series," T.O.S.) premiered on network television with the episode, "The Man Trap." Star Trek ran for three seasons, but only because the network did not know how to measure the ratings correctly; it was very popular among key demographics, which explains the decades of success the show enjoyed in re-runs & six feature films starring the original-series cast. Star Trek debuted the first of its seventy-nine episodes fifty-nine years ago today, 8 September 1966.
