The part with the doors. "I'll be damned." 😂

My dad gave me the love of star trek. I watch it today with enthusiasm and dad in my heart

Dr. McCoy was always my favorite from TOS. It's an absolute treat to be able to see this now. I wish I had known about it sooner.

Gods above and below, but I miss that man...De Kelley's "Bones" McCoy was always the character I most identified with in TOS-his rock-solid decency, his passionate championing of humanity over technology, his humor, his dedication to his profession and to caring for patients regardless of species, color or appearance. He does a great job in this video, even if he is delivering lines written for him.

33 years after this airing it is still going strong.

I grew up with ST-TOS, followed all the sequel and prequel series and now, more than half a century later, in this world that is falling apart, I still believe the atmosphere from Star Trek could one day become a real possibility. The power of Roddenberry's vision is truly awesome. I almost feel like Lt. Barkley: whenever I'm tired, sad or demoralized, I immerse in one or two randomly chosen episodes of ST (TOS-TNG-Voy) and it never fails to lift my spirit. Thank you for this emotional encounter with Bones, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

60 years old and still can't help but click on anything having to do with the Original.

I can't believe TV used to look like this.

McCoy, Leonard H. Played by DeForest Kelley was my favourite character in all of the Star Trek franchise. He was superb.

Making a point that the guy is “now 70.” Today, we have Bill Shatner at over 90 doing projects for History Channel. Back then, we were seeing it was a surge of success among the older generation. Today those people youngsters comparatively speaking.

DeForest Kelly will always be a legend and he will always be Star Trek. Sad to watch now knowing what’s fate is coming to him, he will always be fondly remembered into the 23rd 24th century and beyond. RIP DeForest.

I've had the honor of meeting most of the original ST cast and a number of the NG cast. Susan Woo and Barbara March (the Klingon sisters) were fun to be around.

DeForest Kelley was a fascinating character actor. I remember seeing him in the movie Gun Fight at the OK Corral with Burt Lancaster. He fit perfectly as the Country style doctor on Star Trek the original series. I always enjoyed his banter between DeForest Kelley's doctor and with Leonard Nemoy as Mr. Spock.

This new Star Trek show looks pretty good. I'll have to check my TV Guide to find out when it airs. Maybe have to set my VCR to tape it if I'm not home. Anyway, I gotta go buy some Sunny-Delight and a few Super Soaker 30s and 50s for the pool party this weekend.

8:19 The TNG sickbay actually is Dr. McCoy's sickbay from the Star Trek movies. At the end of the sickbay "tour" they go out the rarely-used door on the wall next to the large LCARS panel.

It's ironic that in real life, Deforest Kelly wanted to be a Doctor, and now he's immortalized as playing one. RIP Bones.

And here we are, nearly 35 years since this video was "new" news. Back when I was 10 years old, my dad and I would fight over our single family B&W television because I wanted to watch STOS and he loved Hee Haw! which were broadcast at the same time. I remember him saying "That weirdo space shit won't even last one season!" I finally learned just to nod my head in agreement and wait for him to sack out on the couch which typically took about two minutes if I kept my mouth shut. Time to turn the channel! RIP dad!

If only i could time travel back to that first season TNG era , i could put soooo many things right , and prep for the $ chaos of the 2020s 😢😔😞

As great as TOS proved to be, TNG proved to be the greatest sci-fi / fantasy TV show ever produced

Wow 70 in 1990 ..he would be 104 in 2024 !

RIP sir

It's amazing that, today, people at home can generate more sophisticated and realistic cgi on a common home computer.

Thank you for this, i miss these shows and their hopeful messages.

"These sets are barrrrbaric!"

Thank you for this. I grew up with TNG, and seeing the behind the scenes makes me appreciate it even more.

From this to discovery 😢😢😢

Thank you for putting this together this was awesome and a wonderful trip down memory lane! I was with my cousins and my entire family on the floor of my uncle's house watching the very first episode of Star Trek so this brought back a lot of good memories❤

that is awesome. Thanks for sharing that!

"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor!"

Those Old Scientists have staying power like nobody's business!

That was fracking great! Don't know where you found it, by that Rocked! RIP D

the first Star Trek was the best, if it weren't for the first, the others would not exist. I'm for the first Star Trek

Interesting, but that early video upscaling doesn't do it justice. Sometimes, it's better to just clean up the video the best you can and walk away. Besides, there's a certain charm with old NTSC VHS that you can live with if you just can't do better. I lived with it in my childhood. VHS wasn't even as good as live broadcast, but it was still good enough. Now, we are coming to the days where we might not be able to record live broadcast as easily as we did with VHS.

I'm surprised that Deforest\Bones WILLINGLY got on the transporter pad, considering his hatred for them

That's wild Kelley mentions having a "Soviet" officer. This was made only a year before collapse of the Soviet Union. Not a fan of this "remastered" footage though. It's "smoothed" out video in a way very blocky and worse than just the blurry original.

👍👍

CAPTAIN ! THE AUDIO SYNC IS FAILING !

All gone now. All dust and gone.

He's dead, Jim!

When Star Trek shows us a "hopeful future,: it is a completely fictional future. We are nowhere near the technology or the global unity that Star Trek portrays. Sit back, enjoy the show, but stop thinking it is any kind of prediction of our future. In the words of William Shatner himself, "It's just a TV show."

Listen to all of these crazy wokesters... back in 1990... it's great to hear DeForest Kelley's voice like this.

a very young Diane Sawyer?

Back when Star Trek inspired people to be doctors and scientists, new Trek only inspiries people into buying more anti depressants.

Mark schipper.

TNG is better than the original series… and all the other ones as well. It’s an established scientific fact!

Sounds like my past life.

LOL the only reason it was watched was it aired reruns on Sunday morning where nothing else was entertaining at the time.

He'd rather be a cowboy

The new Star Trek really sucks as well as the newer ones that followed. The original cast from the 1960's will never be matched.

Little Television Show?seriously?

The discussion of the diversity on the crew is one reason I’ve never understood Conservative Star Trek fans. Everything about the show is evidence against the conservative worldview.

I remember watching this way back in the day!! I always loved the irascible M 'coy and thought the dynamics between the actors got funnier each season. TNG did much the same, but with WAY better effects!! I'm just sorry that it got too left-wing political. That being said, TNG is the best Star Trek there is, and I've watched all of them... (Note: Kate Mulgrew as Janeway is pretty outstanding too!!)

I have ZERO respect for Whoopi Goldberg now !!!

There is absolutely zero comparison. TNG couldn't lick the boots of ToS. ToS was vibrant, REBELLIOUS, fun, idealistic - but essentially - without being moralising or preachy. TNG was stuck way up its own arse in a very early version of being woke. I had no name for it at the time, but I knew I despised it. For example, Q submits to humans in an attempt to extirpate his sin of genocide. The grown ups in the 60s would never have written such arrogant drivel. And a teenage navigator is just plain dumb. (Either that or I hated the character for sticking out like a sore thumb, like watching Greta Thunberg telling President Putin how to run his nation. 🙄)

*Original Star Trek is the only one I'll watch. What came after is just "woke", politically-correct garbage.*
