The uncut version of Star Trek: The Original Series has not been seen on broadcast television in years. Now H&I is giving fans of the iconic series a chance to explore the show again in an experience similar to when it first aired 50 years ago this fall.

Star Trek: The Original Series made its network TV debut on September 8, 1966 and aired for three seasons, ending on June 3, 1969. Since then the series has lived long and prospered in syndication reruns, at the expense of deleted scenes cut from every episode for additional commercials.
