On Monday, a local (Minneapolis) TV station (KITN-29) had a Star Trek Spectacular.
After the normally scheduled episode (City on the Edge of Forever by Harlan
Ellison, one of my fav. episodes) at 6PM, they had an hour long show called
Star Trek Memories hosted by L. Nimoy. He went over the history of ST, his
favorite episodes, Vulcan stuff (Mind-Meld, salute, neck pinch, etc.), the ST
movies (1 and 2, and a teaser about the "upcoming" 3). Lots of clips of
significant length.
Then they had two good episodes: Space Seed and Amok Time. In all, four
hours of Star Trek. I got my fill of TV for a week, and of Star Trek.
This was the lead-off to the channels "Out of this World" week.
Schedule:
Monday : above
Tuesday : The Day the Earth Stood Still (great)
Wednesday: The Time Machine (good)
Thursday : The Forbidden Planet (also great)
Friday : Lost World (don't know)
Now there is a TV station knows how to please SF fans. They often do theme
weeks, and they often do SF in general.
Just thought I'd let all you folks in netland know that Minneapolis has
a high quality of life. Hee hee.
