60 YEARS!!!

September 8 is Star Trek Day!

A few sillies that made me spit out my tea...

😹 😹 😹

Have been a fan of TOS (The Original Series) since my family and I watched the reruns in the mid-1960's.  Yeah, yeah, don't break your fingers calculating my age!

I can catch a few seconds of an episode, and know which one it is, and The Hubby will testify that I know dialogue too.

A favorite game that I play, is watching old western TV shows, such as: 

Have Gun Will Travel

Lawman

Laramie

Bat Masterson

The Rifleman

and then pointing out actors who also had roles on Star Trek.

Creator Gene Roddenberry was quoted as saying that he wanted to make a western in space, or a Wagon Train to the stars, so naturally, the cast included the actors who were around.

Trekkers Par-Tay!

September 8 is Star Trek Day!

A few sillies for your amusement on this momentous anniversary:

😹😹😹

The Original Series will always be my favorite.

"To boldly go where no one has gone before"

P.S. If you enjoy spoofs, may I suggest Galaxy Quest, made in 1999 and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman. ❤️

Nowhere near as silly as 1987's Spaceballs, which skewers every outer space TV or movie, starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Mel Brooks.

Some more spacey films that I think are a hoot:

Mars Attacks!, 1996, with Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening, and Pierce Brosnan.

What Planet Are You From?, 2000, with Annette Bening, Gary Shandling, and Ben Kingsley.

Paul, 2011, with Simon Pegg, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Batemen, and I adore this film! ❤️

Boldly, 1960's-style

Star Trek debut aired on US Television on September 8, 1966.

Creator Gene Roddenberry introduced audiences to a world that championed diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and hope.

I know there have been other Star Trek series, movies, cartoons, etc.

Yet my ❤️ will always belong to 'TOS': The Original Series.

Some of my favorite Dr. McCoy quotes:

"I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!"

"I'm a doctor, not an escalator."

"I'm not a magician, Spock - just an old country doctor."

"I will not peddle flesh. I'm a physician."

"I'm a doctor, not a coal miner."

😹😹😹

"On Sept. 8, 1966, Star Trek debuted for the first time on television with “The Man Trap.” On that day, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry introduced audiences to a world that championed diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and hope."

We watched TOS: The Original Series in reruns as a kid, but I know every episode, every quote, and learned a lesson with each one.

I lost interest with the later TV shows, and have missed all of the more modern movies, but I'll always consider myself a Trekker.

Enjoy a few memes copied from social media for your entertainment.

This last one is too hilarious!

 Live long and prosper, my friends.
