For its time, TAS was a terrific animated show. For many people, it was a gateway to Star Trek. Not a bad thing.
That’s true.Well the Happy Days character was named Officer Kirk....
I'd love to put audio of him getting a "Sit on it, Kirk!" set to a clip of Shatner sitting in his chair in Tribbles and abruptly bolting up.Well the Happy Days character was named Officer Kirk....
And basically welcoming the aliens to the human race at the end despite the murder. What would her parents think?The reason I like "A Piece Of The Action" is that it just gives us a straight-ahead comedy from start to finish (and anchors it in a not too off-the-wall premise for sci-fi that a book left behind on 1920s Chicago could be turned into a "Bible" by an alien race). You know what you're in for. That's a big difference from an episode like "By Any Other Name" which I hate because it shifts from deadly serious stuff (including the murder of an Enterprise crewmember) to off-the-wall silliness with the whole "Under the table" scene.
"A Piece of the Action" is my mom's favorite episode and I enjoy it, too.
