TV’s most durable sci-fi franchise has been celebrating its 60th anniversary all year, with September 8 the official date when it all began back in 1966. Among the many outlets marking the occasion is nostalgia channel MeTV, showing themed marathons each Saturday night in September. The first lineup features Star Trek specials, including Leonard Nimoy: Star Trek Memories (11/10c) from 1984, Star Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier (midnight/11c) from 2007, Star Trek 25th Anniversary Special (2 am/1c), Ultimate Trek: Star Trek’s Greatest Moments (4 am/3c), and Star Trek: A Captain’s Log (5 am/4c).
More highlights: Sister channel MeTV Toons airs six episodes of the 1970s’ Star Trek: The Animated Series on Saturday (1 pm/12c). And starting Sunday at 11 am/10c (through Monday at 6 am/5c), the Heroes & Icons (H&I) network begins showing each episode of the original Star Trek series over six days, starting from the beginning. The stunt continues Tuesday through Friday with episodes airing from 8 pm/7c to 6 am/5c (with the series finale airing overnight Friday at 1 am/midnightc). As an extra treat, the legendary William Shatner appears on MeTV’s Toon In With Me on Tuesday, September 8 (7 am/6c) with host Bill Leff and Toony the Tuna to share some favorite Star Trek memories.
