So ... nobody ? :-)

Not all the Nimoy host segments were aired. Nimoy's were taped first, and were SUPPOSED to air first, but Sci-Fi ended up pulling a switcheroo and starting off with Shatner's instead. (Maybe Shatner had a better agent?) When they were two-thirds of the way into the Nimoy versions, the new programming manager Bonnie Hammer initiated a change of direction at the network (the "SciFi 2.0"/"I am SciFi" era), and the Star Trek SEs were abruptly taken off the schedule.

Transcripts of the unaired Nimoy host segments subsequently surfaced on Sci-Fi's Dominion message board (which no longer exists), and were mirrored on a Nimoy fansite (which also no longer exists). Fortunately, through the power of Internet Archive, I salvaged the transcripts and put them into a text file. They could make an interesting bonus for this project.

You guys are great, I hope this collaboration will lead to something great :-)

I'd love to see this happen. I started off taping them, but then gave up and didn't even save what I had.

This might seem a silly request, but there was one episode of this Sci-Fi run (and unfortunately I don't remember which one) that aired the original art card (of the Enterprise in orbit around a planet with the ST logo beneath) that exists on the negatives after the opening credits. It's silent, to allow room for a network audio cart to be played on air of an announcer saying "Star Trek, brought to you by"...at which point an ad would have been spliced in.

The card lasts maybe 4 seconds, and seems odd and out of place in a modern context, especially without an announcer. It's the only time I've ever seen it aired, (not being quite old enough to have watched the original network run), and to me is an interesting document of how the episodes were delivered to the network. So, if and when you're digitizing the intros, please zip forward though the credits and see if you can find the one time this happened, and preserve it, too.

Thanks! :)

Neat! How silly of me, I hadn't thought about bumpers for all the act breaks.

Anyone who's seen the recent remasterings of The Twilight Zone on DVD and bluRay knows how fun it is to see this stuff intact.

Color me interested in this if it happens. I've grabbed all the ones I can find on youtube, which is all of season 1 and scattered bits of seasons 2-3.

Jetrel Fo/Klingon_Jedi - any news ? :-)

My brother has a ton of these, if not all of them. I just bought a video capture device, but I don't know if he even has a VCR any more. I'm visiting him this summer, I should see what he's got.

Definitely :-)

So.. did you visit your brother?

I did! However, I didn't bring the VC device :p.  I can talk to him and see if he wants to rip any. I have a new kid on the way (due date in 2 weeks), so it's probably not happening for me anytime soon.

Congrats daddy :)
