Product Description:
From Paramount Home Video! The complete first season of Star Trek: The Original Series is now available in HD-DVD/DVD Hybrid disks! This set contains all 29 episodes - in airdate order - from Season One of the original Star Trek series, along with newly produced bonus features exclusive to this DVD release.
Amazon.com:
In 1966, Star Trek set out to boldly go where no series had gone before, beginning a three-year mission that led to a franchise that would last decades. Here at last is the first season of the original series all in one box, 29 episodes in their original broadcast order. That means starting with "The Man Trap," and soon followed by "Where No Man Has Gone Before," the second pilot filmed and the first one starring William Shatner as Captain Kirk. The many highlight episodes include "Balance of Terror" and "Errand of Mercy" (introducing, respectively, the Romulans and the Klingons), the two-part "The Menagerie" (which recycled footage from the original pilot, "The Cage," which featured Christopher Pike as the captain of the Enterprise and is not included in this set), "Space Seed" (introducing Ricardo Montalban's Khan character), and "The City of the Edge of Forever" (written by sci-fi giant Harlan Ellison and considered by many the best-ever episode of the series).
The first-season DVD set is supplemented by 80 minutes of featurettes incorporating 2003-04 interviews with Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, other cast members, and producers, and some 1988 footage of Gene Roddenberry. The longest (24 minutes) featurette, "The Birth of a Timeless Legacy," examines the two pilot episodes and the development of the crew. Slightly shorter are "To Boldly Go... Season One," which highlights key episodes, and "Sci-Fi Visionaries," which discusses the series' great science fiction writers (most famously in "The City of the Edge of Forever"). Shatner shows off his love of horses in "Life Beyond Trek," and, more interestingly, Nimoy debunks various rumors in "Reflections of Spock." As they've done for many of the feature-film special editions, Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda provide a pop-up text commentary on four of the episodes filled with history, trivia, and dry wit. It's the first commentary of any kind for a Star Trek TV show, but an audio commentary is still overdue. The technical specs are mostly the same as other Trek TV series--Dolby 5.1, English subtitles--but with the welcome addition of the episode trailers. The plastic case is an attempt to replicate some of the fun packaging of the series' European DVD releases, but it's a bit clunky, and the paper sleeve around the disc case seems awkward and crude. Still, the set is a vast improvement both in terms of shelf space and bonus features compared to the old two-episode discs, which were released before full-season boxed sets became the model for television DVDs. --David Horiuchi

Excellent product where all information advertised was accurate. The photo was very clean and the sound was very sharp. Seller very fast. Definitely purchase from again.

While I feel a sense of wistfulness at losing some "authenticity" in the new CGI effects, the overall product gives the series some new life. There will be those who will prefer to wait until a re-remaster with the old effects, but this interpretation is a fine first attempt at digitally preserving the essence of Star Trek.

I can appreciate the fact that they took it upon themselves to repair the film where it was damaged. However, they overstepped their bounds and violated this classic by adding effects and shots that were not in the original. And then they could not even put the episodes in order??? Come on!
A perfect example of straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.

I cannot stomach that a wonderful series has been adulterated. If you grew up with the original series, and treasure is original effects, do not buy the new remastered series. I am sorry I did not get a hold of all the seasons in the yellow, red, blue edition. Now they are unavailable and the "orwell" version of revised television history remains. Perhaps this silliness will go the way of colorization of classic movies that came and went in the 1980's. Hopefully

Wonderful. Arrived in 4 days. I didn't understand that for my standard DVD player you have to play the disk on the other side, so after freaking out about getting a faulty box, I finally read what it said on the DVD and figured it out. *Picard-style face palm*
