markosf just posted on [turns head, spits]Facebook that tonight, September 8, is the anniversary of
Star Trek's premiere. 44 years ago -- I remember that night quite clearly. It was also the premiere night of
the Tammy Grimes Show, which is what we'd be watching at
our house, thanks, because my Mom had met her somewhere and was a big fan (somehow my brain got this tangled with Ann Morgan Guilbert, whom my Mom knew from college).
At the first commercial break during
the Tammy Grimes Show, none of the rest of us dared say a word, but my Mom asked if there was anything else on that we could watch instead.
And thus we discovered
Star Trek.
