MeTV Toons celebrates 60 years of Star Trek
Join us on Saturday, September 5, for a special Star Trek: The Animated Series marathon.
Star Trek is turning 60 this year, and MeTV Toons is joining the celebration with a six-episode marathon of Star Trek: The Animated Series.
Star Trek: The Animated Series is a beloved cartoon featuring the talents of the original crew of the USS Enterprise, including Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Majel Barrett, and, of course, William Shatner.
Tune in to MeTV Toons on Saturday, September 5, starting at 1pm | 12c for an extraterrestrial experience celebrating Star Trek.
We will feature the following episodes:
"Yesteryear": Spock must travel to the past to rescue his younger self from danger.
"More Tribbles, More Troubles": While the USS Enterprise escorts two robot cargo ships carrying quintotriticale, a new seed grain, to famine-stricken Sherman's Planet, it encounters a Klingon battlecruiser pursuing a Federation scout ship. When the Enterprise rescues the pilot, the Klingons attack with a new energy weapon and demand that the pilot be handed over to them.
"Once Upon a Planet": The Enterprise crew revisits the "amusement park" planet first seen in the Classic Trek episode "Shore Leave" hoping for some rest and relaxation.
"The Slaver Weapon": In the shuttlecraft Copernicus, Mr. Spock, Uhura and Sulu are en route to Starbase 25 to deliver a stasis box — a rare artifact of the Slaver culture when the Kzinti intervene.
"Pirates of Orion": Spock contracts a fatal illness, and the cure can only be found with dangerous Orion pirates.
"The Counterclock Incident": An unusual spaceship pulls the Enterprise into a "negative universe" where time seems to flow backwards.
