- This animated series continues the adventures of the USS Enterprise, taking advantage of the visual freedom of animation to present stories with more alien elements.
- The further adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise, as they explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets.
- Despite being only a half hour in length, this show was consistently good. Several of the plots were just as intricate as the original series; a few of them revisited old locations (the "Shore Leave" planet; the "Guardian of Forever") and characters (Harry Mudd) from the original series. The show was easily head and shoulders above the rest of the Saturday morning lineup.<br/><br/>The only real problem I had with the series is that so few of them were made (just 22); NBC simply ran the same episodes again and again. It turns out that the reason was the show's audience--children, mostly preteens, who were willing to watch the same episodes repeatedly.<br/><br/>All in all, it was exciting to see a new Star Trek series just four years after the original was cancelled. After this, it would be six years before the somewhat lackluster Star Trek: The Motion Picture and over a decade before the next series. Consider this a fitting coda for fans of the original series.
- I was an avid fan of the Original live-action TV series when I was a boy which was being re-run at the time - unrealistic 'Jelly' Monsters and the like were fascinating viewing for a 6 or 7 year old.<br/><br/>But, "Star Trek: The Animated Series" offered something a little more believable, in a sense, because we were able to view more realistic 'Jelly-type' monsters in a true cartoon fashion. The series itself, which is not considered as part of the 'canon' for the franchise, stands out remarkably well on it's own merits and I am of the opinion that all age groups will be fascinated by it's concept and unique format.<br/><br/>For starters, it is the original cast members who are providing the voice-overs for their own characters, and also aboard the enterprise are some of the original series best-loved writers. The main plus-fact is that it is a Gene Roddenberry project. 'Filmation' are the company who produced this animated series - a company who have come into criticism because of it's lacklustre quality of cartoons throughout the years. But, surely with "ST: TAS" this is one of it's true exceptions.<br/><br/>There are some very good half-hour episodes in this series, beautifully written and designed and it's a crying shame that a number of 'Trekkies' don't give this series the praise and recognition it deserves. I, for one, am not a 'Trekkie' but I am a big fan of this animated classic of which I would prefer to sit down and watch an episode of as opposed to the original series. This so-called cartoon is not strictly a 'kiddies' production - a fabulous factor indeed.<br/><br/>I've just recently purchased the well-packaged DVD release of this series and it is the only piece of 'Trek - related' merchandise I own, and I am likely to own forever.<br/><br/>"Star Trek: The Animated Series" should be spoken about in the same context as the Series' and the feature films. It has been, and still is, so undervalued.<br/><br/>A true EMMY AWARD WINNER - no joke!
