Actually, in one or two of those episodes ("Catspaw" and "Who Mourns
for Adonais" come to mind), Koenig *was* wearing a wig (this from a
recent rereading of "The World of Star Trek" by David Gerrold).  He
only wore it until his hair grew out a bit, but wear it he did.  I
recall reading that he felt a little silly doing so, but he gave in
to the general feeling that it would indeed attract "the younger crowd."

Personally, it didn't do a thing for me, and I *was* part of "the
younger crowd" at the time.  I was already watching.
