Star Trek

The name "Star Trek" is also the original name of the first television series, referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series (or TOS) on Memory-Alpha.

Star Trek is a science-fiction television and film franchise owned by Paramount Pictures. Originally, it was a product of the Desilu studios, as created by Gene Roddenberry in a first draft series proposal "Star Trek is..." dated 11 March 1964.

Beginning with a single pilot episode, "The Cage," filmed in 1964, Star Trek was not placed on the schedule of the NBC network until a second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," was produced in 1965.

The 2005-2006 TV season is the first television season since 1987 without a Star Trek series being broadcast, though all series remain in syndication on numerous television networks. Indeed, as of September 2005, it will be the first time that there is no Star Trek in active production since the beginning of Star Trek: Phase II.
