The big granddaddy of them all debuted 60 years ago yesterday. Episode: The Man Trap.
Celebrating all week by watching all of my favorite episodes.

I probably go through two to three episodes a day with the TOS Pluto Channel playing in the background.

I have the box sets on both DVD and iTunes.

To be honest, the 60s was a good time for TV sci-fi.
Star Trek
Lost In Space
The Outer Limits
Doctor Who
Fantastic Voyage
Thunderbirds
Hell, even The Jetsons is from the 60s

I'm the same with TOS and the Twilight Zone

While technically not strictly Sci-Fi, I think I’d have to throw Twilight Zone onto that list as well.

I'd include it, though a lot of lists don't. At least some of the stories had sci-fi components.

Heroes & Icons channel seems to have dropped the other Star Trek shows and is marathoning TOS every night starting at 7.
Not sure if this is permanent.

A nice, eerie episode.

The early, clunky intro speech:
This is the adventure of the United Space Ship Enterprise. Assigned a five year galaxy patrol, the bold crew of the giant starship explores the excitement of strange new worlds, uncharted civilizations, and exotic people. These are its voyages and its adventures...
Writer Samuel Peeples would rework it into the pithy classic we know today:
Space: the final frontier*. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before!
*Subtly suggesting the mythology of the old West

Could saw your different double features of an episode and a movie in the series in the theater yesterday. I wanted to see city on the edge of forever and voyage home but it was too late (10)

Roddenberry always stated that his show was “Wagon Train to the stars”.

I’ve always thought that the way they re-used the unaired pilot to weave in and out of the 2 part “menagerie” episode and make a completely different story out of it was brilliant TV.
and I have a core memory of watching “city on the edge of forever” for the first time…sitting in silence as Kirk says, “let’s get the hell out of here.”
