Описание: Star Trek (1966) but a disaster behind the scenes.

While the crew of the Enterprise was busy exploring the galaxy, the actors and creators were fighting a losing battle against budget cuts, network sabotage, and physical injury. From the "forbidden" first pilot that NBC rejected to the shocking reason Lucille Ball is the only reason the show exists, we’re counting down 20 secrets that prove the Original Series survived by accident—not design.

In this video, we explore:

Why the network forced Gene Roddenberry to remove a female First Officer.
The real-world injuries that left William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy with permanent damage.
How Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. personally saved the career of Nichelle Nichols.
The "radioactive" episodes that were banned in other countries for decades.
The tragic timing of the show's cancellation just months before the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Whether you're a die-hard Trekkie or a fan of TV history documentaries, this is the story of a show that was too radical for the 1960s—and the "near misses" that almost erased it from history.
