It's been a few years but the memories live on ....
Photos, vids, etc ....
- Thread starter Shiftless2
- Start date
For moving picture fans, interesting how many popular series were cancelled, and then like the phoenix, arose again.
Bonanza struggled, but avoided the chopping block because sponsor RCA wanted to sell more color televisions, and Bonanza was one of the few series shot in / broadcast in color.
Gunsmoke wobbled, dodged cancellation with a switch of time slots, displacing and thereby ending Gilligan's Island.
The Shatner / Nimoy version of Star Trek was terminated, the Enterprise bridge set destroyed, before the series was uncancelled.
Nichelle Nicole disclosed, she decided to withdraw from the series, but was persuaded by Doctor Martin Luther King to remain in the cast, as she presented a positive role model.
Beam us up Scotty! They got a mad man down here, bustin' up stuff. Says his name is "Trump".
PS
How many of the original Star Trek cast are still alive? Shatner, and ... ?
CBS The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert solicited early pics from celebrities.
Bill sent this one.
A joke about William Shatner, played Captain Kirk ...
William Shatner was born with powerful thespian ambition. From young age he knew he wanted to act in the worst way.
His role in Star Trek enabled him to do so.

Love you Bill
PS
Shatner had memorable roles elsewhere, including the airline passenger that saw the wing-walking gremlin in Twilight Zone.

Thanks S2.
Shatner's the one on the left (I think).
B.S. is not merely a U.S. entertainment workhorse. He's also dipped his toe in marketing, offering a line of ladies lingerie. BUT !!
They didn't sell very well. Not many women wanted to buy "Shatner Panties". - badda boom badda bing ! -

But think of the possible advertising slogans - "To boldly go where no man has gone before" - how do you top that?

oh no
Another Star Fleet / Hollywood conundrum
To boldly go where only one man has gone before? Without grunting much? A celebrity steamer ? Have we "hit bottom" here @CV.us ? (hope so)
Shatner brassiere ? The essential accessory for big boobs ? How much longer we gunna milk this Treker theme?
Well done, an excellent contemporaneous diagnosis. Too much sub-space between the ears.
