<v Speaker 1>Welcome, this is Now Streaming with Jordan.

0:00:02.540 --> 0:00:05.420
<v Speaker 2>These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.

0:00:05.900 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Sixty years ago this month, a low-rated science fiction show,

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.900
<v Speaker 1>supported and produced by, of all people, Lucille Ball, made

0:00:12.940 --> 0:00:16.140
<v Speaker 1>its mark in the galaxy. Cancelled after just three seasons,

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the show was supported heavily by ardent fans, yours truly included.

0:00:20.140 --> 0:00:22.300
<v Speaker 1>And when it hit syndication in the 70s, it led

0:00:22.340 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to an animated series, Star Trek the movie, one of

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.740
<v Speaker 1>many franchise films, and a bevy of succeeding series. most

0:00:28.780 --> 0:00:32.540
<v Speaker 1>notably The Next Generation, Voyager, Discovery, and what appears to

0:00:32.580 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>be the final few episodes of Strange New Worlds, ending

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.300
<v Speaker 1>a long streak of Star Trek episodes, Trek heading back

0:00:38.340 --> 0:00:41.370
<v Speaker 1>to space dock. It all begins with the magnificent starship,

0:00:41.380 --> 0:00:44.430
<v Speaker 1>the USS Enterprise. There's the incredible amount of tech and

0:00:44.470 --> 0:00:47.110
<v Speaker 1>assortment of aliens from the Gorn to the Borg. But

0:00:47.130 --> 0:00:50.070
<v Speaker 1>for most fans, like me, who began with TOS, the

0:00:50.110 --> 0:00:52.970
<v Speaker 1>original series, it's about the characters and the actors who

0:00:52.990 --> 0:00:56.270
<v Speaker 1>portrayed them. It continues to live long and prosper. And

0:00:56.300 --> 0:00:59.270
<v Speaker 1>that's now streaming with Jordan WBZ, Boston's news radio.
