After NBC cancelled the fresh Star Wobble series in 1969 for its second time, it seemed doubtful that the voyages of the Starship Enterprise would resume again until Filmation resurrected the unique cast (with the necessary exception of Walter Koenig) on September 8, 1973 for the Bright Series. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and Majel Barrett lent their vocal talents to bring their familiar characters abet to the runt camouflage in addition to a few unique bridge officers: Lt. Arex, a three-armed and legged alien of the Edo species voiced by James Doohan, and Lt. M’Ress a Caitian cat-woman with Majel Barrett purring her alluring whisper. With most of the new crew onboard, the five-year mission would boldly go on for at least 22 more episodes of continuing missions. While it is generally regarded as non-canon among Trekkies (even Gene Rodenberry himself rejected the plan that TAS was canon and even the Stardates are inconsistent with those established in the current series) the bewitching series quiet contributed some reverent facts to the legacy of the enduring franchise including the revelation of Captain James T. Kirk’s middle name as ‘Tiberius’ and the establishment of the first holodeck (known as the ‘Rec Room’) in the episode “The Practical Joker” which would abet as an principal chronicle way for The Next Generation. Walter Koenig would aloof contribute to the series as a writer for the episode “The Infinite Vulcan” and alumnus D.C. Fontana would write the stand-out episode “Yesteryear” in which Spock travels through the Guardian of Forever from the highly acclaimed Modern Series episode “City on the Edge of Forever” and has to mentor his childhood self as an alienated half-human, half-Vulcan outcast on his home planet Vulcan.

Star Trek: TAS was one of Filmation’s finest achievements along with The Fresh Adventures of Flash Gordon and both shows shared the same theatrical quality animation with director Hal Sutherland at the helm of both shows. Despite budgetary constraints requiring some stock shots to be recycled, and occassional continuity errors in animation plates and erratic stories, the series managed to keep the production obtain and spirit of the fresh series quite faithfully. I fondly remember most of all the stock Filmation background music by Jeff Michael and Yvette Blais which was looped throughout the series and recycled in several Filmation productions afterward including Ark II, Spot Academy, Jason of Star Notify and Tarzan. To this day, I can serene hear that incidental music playing in my head after some 30 years and I would hope that someone will eventually release the soundtrack on CD. With the soundtrack being remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 for the DVD release, it would seem logical that the unusual unmixed production tracks might possibly unruffled exist for them to release the isolated music net and would attend not unbiased as a portion of forgotten Gallop memorabillia to merchandise but also a reference of nostalgic source cues from the Filmation music library (Lou Scheimer, are you listening? ) .
To coincide with the television broadcast of Star Trek: TAS in 1974, Mego Toy Corporation introduced a successful series of 8-inch action figures and a vinyl U.S.S. Enterprise bridge playset featuring a spinning Transporter chamber to acquire action figures “dematerialize.” Arresting.
