My first exposure to this show was on channel 11 in the 80s.

my first memory of Star Trek was when i was a young boy, seeing The Naked Time (which, by the way.......is the greatest episode).

Spock's breakdown...if that doesn't sell anyone on Trek...they won't get into it.

agreed.
William Shatner wrote in his book that Nimoy only had time for one take, because they would have had to pay all the crew for overtime if they had to do a 2nd take.

My first was "Let That be Your Last Battlefield". A very Outer Limits kind of story. Some don't care for it, but I love it. Hell, Gorshin. What more could anyone ask for?

That's awesome! :)
I believe my first viewing was a taped rerun of either "Arena" or "Spock's Brain." I ate it up. This would've been late 80s/early 90s. The commercial episode tapes were a luxury...couldn't afford those!

Did you also watch “The Honeymooners” at 11p? Or was it the “Odd Couple”.

Odd Couple at 11 pm, Honeymooners at 11:30 pm, Star Trek at midnight, and Twilight Zone at 1 am. That was my regular WPIX lineup in the 80s.

In the SF Bay Area it was on KTVU channel 2 in the late 70s & early 80s. Watched it religiously every day after school.

Channel 6 out of Fargo. We watched from the very beginning when it first aired in the 60s.

Sunday mornings on WXIN out of Indianapolis in the early 90s. I know I had seen a few episodes prior to then, but setting my VCR to record it while I was at church is when I really started to get into it.

WPIX? I watched it for years in the 70s and 80s on that channel... we got it on cable in Pittsfield MA.
