William Shatner as Captain Kirk looking confused in 'Star Trek: The Original Series.'
The Big Picture There are very few genre shows from the 1960s that have quite the staying power as Star Trek. Though we know it now as the flagship production that launched a massive science-fiction franchise, the original series had quite the developmental history as Gene Roddenberry tried to first launch the U.S.S. Enterprise off the ground.
Once Roddenberry had firmly established the Star Trek concept in Hollywood, he began compiling a crew to bring the U.S.S. Enterprise to life. Morris Chapnick, who became Roddenberry's assistant , once recalled his first encounter with the Star Trek format, admitting it was the Wagon Train aspect that gave him confidence in the idea. "I don't know anything about outer space," Chapnick told Stephen E.
1 Gene Roddenberry Had a History of Writing Westerns But before Roddenberry even became known for Star Trek, he first had his hand in writing Westerns of his own. No, he didn't pen too many of them himself , but he tackled a handful of episodes of shows like The Virginian, Boots and Saddles, and The Wrangler before striking gold with a 24 episode run on the beloved Have Gun - Will Travel.
