    That was the great thing about shows from the 60s and 70s. They didn’t have the resources or technology at the time for big sets, special effects or even CGI … so they had to rely on good writing and good actors with theatrical skill to make it all enjoyable and entertaining.

    Shows in the 80s and 90s drifted more and more into just mindless comedy. Now everyone relies heavily on eye candy, CGI and special effects.

    I’m taking my time watching TOS and the writing is amazing when you consider the setting and the period of history at the time.
