Star Trek. When TV came to the Yukon, it was the mid to late sixties and all my friends had a set, but my parents refused. They didn't like TV so of course I watched at a friends.
One of the first shows I saw was the first run of Star Trek, the original. I fell in love then and remembered the stolen moments watching it on other people's TV's. The episodes were burnt onto my memory!
Later when mum died and I went to live with my aunt and uncle(who had a TV) I looked for it on re runs but it wasn't shown very often, when I could I watched it eagerly. The last year of high school I was living on my own at the YWCA and the communal living room had a tv, which got a channel that carried Star Trek reruns.
Of course I made sure I was there at that time and comandeered the channel selection. :toothy:
There were years where I couldn't find it, but now with the current Trek incarnations, I can usually pick up Trek anyday (and for Trekless moments I have all the Trek on tape in all it's incarnations except ironically the original Trek)
It was the first show I remember watching, and it remains my top favourite show of all time. In fact even today, I have satellite TV and can watch whatever I like.
I don't like to watch most stuff, but Trek has NEVER lost it's appeal to me. I love it.
