Contains Reels #1,#2,#3 in dark fuzzy VHS defective non-quality.
Also has a brief edit of a number of out-takes from reels #1-#4 taken from some 1980’s bloopers show. These out-takes contain added (stupid) sound effects and an annoying laugh track. This is not the Reel #5 (“Forty Years of Science Fiction Television Featuring: Star Trek”) compilation. This is something else altogether. A shorter version of this outtake compilation is on YouTube in about the same bad quality. This edit just has more scenes. Also, this tape includes some of the NBC per-premiere promos in bad quality.

You have been warned!

I figured this one would be crappy. Generally I try to avoid any releases with bad xeroxing on colored paper, and this one fit the bill.

However, those outtakes you’re talking about: are they actually TOS outtake material that’s not included on any of Maab’s sources above? Because if so, then they should be preserved anyway, even with the bad quality and overdubs. At least until a better source can be found. On the other hand, if it’s just excerpts from the same blooper reels but in poorer quality, then let it die.

Do you have a link to the shorter version on YouTube?
