Years and years ago, during a Writers Guild strike that took place near the beginning of my career, I took a gig on NBC’s first sequel to the then-recently cancelled STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES. The name of said sequel?
STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES
No way could I refuse to do an episode of what had been one of my all-time favorite series. Not only was writing animation not a breach of the strike rules, this new NBC half-hour Saturday morning offering was in, hip, and trendy.
