From the descriptions I've read of the original ST series seasons, there has been mention that the writers of this series were finding it more difficult to come up with interesting story lines for the eps: Spock's Brain is an example of this, an episode which is generally regarded by "Trekkies" as being one of the worst, if not worst, episodes of the original series. There were some good episodes in season three, like Day Of The Dove, but I think it simply came down to the show writers running out of ideas that would translate into fresh and interesting story lines, which would obviously be a necessity for the survival and continuation of any television show. This happens to many TV series, obviously some sooner than later. Based on declining TV ratings, NBC abruptly cancelled Star Trek in 1969. Believe it or not, Gregg the original ST series never really garnered outstanding TV ratings. It was only after this show went into syndication, and began making the rounds on channels like The Sci-Fi Channel and others, did it gain such an enormous following of fans. |
