Hi, guys. I’m late to the party, but I’ve found that I may have every one of the SciFi Special Editions on old 8mm video which I’m transferring over to digital. Quality is not the greatest though. Does anyone have the original air dates for the SciFi editions? I think they started in September 1998, but I’d like to include the actual airdates in the file titles if available. Thx!
The 79 original episodes and then The Cage ran in their original airdate order, with Shatner hosting, on weekdays from Tuesday, September 1, 1998, to Thursday, December 24, 1998, skipping for various reasons on October 30, November 26, and November 27.
The first 60 episodes then ran again in original airdate order, with Nimoy hosting, on weekdays from Monday, December 28, 1998 to Wednesday, March 24, 1999, skipping for various reasons on December 31, January 1, and March 19, before they pulled the plug in favor of a “reboot” of the channel, with Star Trek no longer airing in the Special Edition format.
This is based on newspaper listings, but is consistent with the tapes I have.
