This is a really neat extension to the Star Trek universe. I was never able to see them all in their original run on TV when I was a kid (or worse, only saw parts of some episodes) and that always bugged me. Plus you get to see early versions of concepts that were used in later versions of the shows - like the "Rec Room" that became the "Holodeck".

"I am a huge Star Trek fan. I loved all eleven films, the original series, the next generation, DS9, voyager, and enterprise. But the original series was always my favorite one out of five television series that they made. The Animated Series is a continuation of the original series - almost. The actors and charaters are all there, so is the Enterprise, and the Klingons and the Romulans, even Mudd and the Tribbles; but it just isn't the same. The stories are often lacking, it seems to be aimed more at children, and the episodes are all rushed. But every now and then, it did seem to sparkle. After all it does have the same actors and charaters in it, and not all of the episodes were bad. There were a few good episodes like "Beyond the Farthest Star", "More Tribbles, More Troubles", "Once Upon a Planet", and "The Time Trap". Maybe not worth a whole lot of money, but if you can find it for 10 or 15 bucks, it is worth buying just for those few good episodes."
