According to Starlog magazine, the old rumor was one cast member didn’t appreciate those being shown to the public. Which might be why they never aired on any of those blooper tv specials of the 80’s and 90’s.

And that cast member was Mr. Nimoy! That’s what the Great Bird told us back in 1983. He was NOT showing the reels at conventions at that time. VHS was becoming a thing at that time and the dealers room was filling up with bootleg VHS tapes. Roddenberry did not want to show the reels in one room for free and then have people give their money to a 3rd party for a personal copy in another room.
