    The music that plays during thoughtful or reflective scenes has been stuck in my head for decades.

        Makes you wonder why there HASN'T been a Star Trek Cartoon since???? You'd think Roddenberry Production would have done something by now???

            I'm not 100% sure but I think after it's below average ratings during it's first season STNTG was considered to be turned into a cartoon series.

            After this fell through a few years later (early to mid 90's) another animated series was considered --- Star Fleet Academy with young versions of the Classic Crew.

            Luckily this fell through as well

              I really think that idea is a winner.

                For me, the animated versions of "Star Trek" and "Return to the Planet of the Apes" (along with the live action "Planet of the Apes" TV show) were why I recognized the Mego versions. I was 5 when ST:TAS came out and it was a few years before I saw TOS in syndication so it WAS "Star Trek" to me for a while. It may not be "great", but it IS special. Those two properties also had comics and Power Records to keep them being the "thing" until "Star Wars" became all-consuming.

                I bought a t-shirt with a still from The Animated Series on it and when I wear it, lots of folks comment about remembering the cartoon.

                I see a locally produced feature on our local PBS Station about Russell Bates every once in a while. He's a fellow Oklahoman who wrote the ST:TAS episode "How Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth" and "The Lights of Mystery Mountain" (Episode 1 of "Isis"). Mr. Bates talks about the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Series that this series won. That's right....the only non-technical Emmy won by any incarnation of "Star Trek".
