The moment Walter Koenig was known from Star Trek that the original series was done

Walter Quinig came to “Star Trek” in his second season onlyBut it is part of the legacy of the series thanks to its role as the fourth Pavel Chicov (not to mention existence One of the few actors is still the “original series” with us). An American TV program that includes a Russian figure as a good man during the height of the Cold War? This was just one of the ways that “Star Trek” pushed the circumstance.

Unfortunately, while you know that “Trekkies Reading”, “Star Trek” lasted only two years after Koenig joined the actors’ team in 1967; NBC canceled the offer due to the low classifications and the last episode that was first broadcast on June 3, 1969. This cancellation was not the end of “Star Trek”-it’s the full media concession now-but it seems that it was at that time.

I conducted an interview by trekmovie.comKoenig claims that he knew very well early that “Star Trek” will not make her past 3:

“In the third season, Jimmy (Duhan), George (Taki), and I shot. We went in a magazine for a children’s magazine, he was either adolescent, 16, fif or something … but while we were there, while we were turning into the horse, we had soon. I mean, I was still wandering in my horse – and I knew (that), that we had finished.”

Koenig highlights a phenomenon – or curse – on TV networks: the opening of death on Friday night.

For most TV, there was an understanding that children between the ages of 18 and 35 did not want to spend Friday night in front of the TV. Finally, briefly free of their 9-5 job, they prefer to start the weekend by going out with friends or dates. Consequently, the TV programs that are broadcast on Friday nights will get low classifications and quickly canceled. If an offer is transferred to a night opening on Friday, it is treated historically as a sign that the network has lost confidence in it.

Some of the victims of the death holes Friday night “include”firefly“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Happy Endings. “Star Trek” was one of the first and most famous losses. However, the reasons behind this trend are not easy; even in the 1960s, when the TV was relatively new and “Star Trek” was still in production, Koenig understood what a time.

“I sat down by nature. I knew that I would not have the same audience that I would have done at eight o’clock on Monday. They brought me on board for a very clear reason in the very attractive youth, or literally from eight to fourteen years, and on Friday night, she was ten in bed, and they are either at the age of eight years, or they are in a state of time, and they are 4 years old, and they know that.” Trek “is the end”.

Young adults today are more introverted than in the twentieth centuryBut even if they reside inside, the traditional network and cable TV (which relied on advertising revenues, and therefore the importance of high assessments in certain time holes) has been largely displaced by flow. Two workers from the opening of death have evolved on Friday night – classifications and social patterns – in ways that canceled each other.
