@Greg Grant

As far as Gene Roddenberry being a great big idea person, but a lousy writer of dialogue, I’d say it’s almost like baseball. :p

Yes, some people are really good at both batting and fielding, but there are plenty of people only great at one!
 
Introducing the all new Star Trek ....
Starring Robert Redford as Capt James T Kirk
Dustin Hoffman as Commander Spock
Elliot Gould as Dr McCoy
 
Than you for the show.

Walter was charming. He looks fat faced. James looks like a different person.

Keep thinking of Dan Akroyd's impression of Tom Snyder.

He would ramble on; not give the guest a chance.

Ellison comes in later?
 
and everyone smoked.

Because most everybody did back then. Have you watched the 1st _Ghostbusters_ film lately?
Everyone, except me, it seemed.

But I got enough 2ndhand smoke I was smoking, in a way
Wasn't till '85 or so till smoking went down by a noticeable amount. Before that, ashtrays everywhere. Fast Food joints, airplanes...except in the small non-smoking sections
 
I'd never heard Shatner do "Mr. Tambourine Man"... There is not enough ear bleach on the planet to ever free me from the horror of hearing Shatner torturing "Mr. Tambourine Man".

A good few years ago as a joke, I bought my friend the Shatner Album 'Has Been' for his birthday. And as a group who got together on Thursdays to pain models, watch movies and eat KFC, we agreed to listen to it. In its entirity.

We was expecting it to be like Mr Tambourine Man, or The Ballard of Bilbo Baggins. IE weapons grade terrible.

But. In all honesty, it was actually rather good. Oh he can't sing, he talks, but..oddly enough, it works. And it became a thing we'd always do, if we was painting, on came that bloody album. or it would find its way into a car to go on the CD player. Which lead to us at one point, in my mates ancient volvo that was held together by rust, slithering down a snowy hill near Southend on Sea whilst Shatner sang 'You're gonna die' at as. Surreal didn't even cover it.

Here's some samples.

A silly one

Whereas this one hits with a broadside of feels

We all sang along to this one

and the classic

oh and you're gonna die

One of the good things about Reagan’s choice of C. Everett Koop as Surgeon General. An AH way to accomplish such a thing earlier would likely centre on Utah Senator Frank Moss (and his not losing to Orrin Hatch in ‘76).
 
Same, when I was a kid smoking was common as muck. Hell I remember going on flights and people were smoking on them, and even when it was phased out, airlines had ashtrays in the arms for ages. same with TV, as an example


Also worth watching because its fucking funny, and I'm sure that a smoke in hand was part of Dean Martin's wardrobe. But you'd NEVER see that today.
