Have You Ever Noticed...

I love the animated series. I've required my sons to watch it...but there is something that stands out (at least to me).

Here we have a show ostensibly created for children. Granted it was created 35 years ago but have you ever listened to the vocabulary levels of these shows. Many college students WISH they could speak so well.

And the topics...
Considerably more mature than your average "sponge-bob" episode.

I was 9 or 10 atthe time TAS was on. I watched TOS in a high chair so the cartoon was my favorite, & yes I had the Mego company action figures and the bridge, and a phaser.
There are no new cartoons that could hold a candle to it nowadays.

I found a screencap awhile ago, that had been altered to look like a mirror TAS.
can't remember where, & I have a TAS mirror spock trading card I got at a trek show in '07.
will post.

Heres the mirror TAS I found

actually the animation was horrible. they used even fewer cells per scene than a contemporary Hanna-Barbara cartoon plus they reused the same cell several times per episode. HOWEVER...the stories were first rate for a half-hour animated series drawing on first rate writers such as Dorothy Fontana, Harlan Ellison andLarry Niven (which is why the Kzinti became involved) If such a series could combine the caliber of writers with great art and animation (and I'm not talking angular bodies with big eyes ala the Korean animation similar to Batman ) I think it would do quite well.
