dennis@terak.UUCP (Dennis Kodimer) (02/28/85)
Just started reading this net and wondered if anyone out there
remembers or was involved in the following...
I believe it was spring of 1968. NBC had issued rumors that Startrek's
third season would be cancelled. I was an undergrad at Cal Tech at the
time, and a member of a group of confirmed Trek junkies.
The times seemed to favor rallies, noise and general conspicuousness.
A group at Cal Tech (of which I admit being a member) made the arduous
trip from Pasadena to Burbank to raise hell before the NBC studio
building. Armed with placards and girlfirends, we arrived in the early
evening. I recall that we got the attention of a middle manager and of
one of the minor characters from the cast. Of course, we felt we had a
major impact on the decision to continue for a third season (we also
had an even bigger impact on the beer stores in the area).
The rest is history. NBC continued the third season, which, I feel,
contains the highest density of Startrek bombs of all the seasons.
Does anyone in netville remember more details?
Was anyone else there?
Are you there?
Am I here?

Dennis Kodimer or someone like him.
