Star Trek: The Animated Series Coming

[Damian]

I'm not sure if I missed the thread some where or if nobody caught this news but last month The Digital Bits reported that the series will be released probably in the second half of this year.

Well... it's about time. Seriously, after all the false starts and rumors, it pleases me to no end to be able to say what I'm about to say. Yes... Paramount has now officially confirmed to us that they are working to release Star Trek: The Animated Series on DVD in 2006. No additional details are available at this time, other than what we've already posted in The Rumor Mill this week, which is basically that the release date is likely to be in the second half of the year to coincide with the franchise's anniversary. Still, given how long fans have been waiting for this series to reach DVD, I think it's darned good news, and now it's official too. We'll keep our eye on this title and let you know when there's more to report.

It's been a long while since I've seen the animated series. How long did the series last?

Only 20-something episodes.

Tvshowsondvd.com is reporting a release date of November 21st for this set.

Not so sure how to take the news. It's one of those cartoons I loved as a kid (since I loved the actual show). Then again, I loved He-Man, and bought a dvd set of it recently. I couldn't believe how bad it was. How many shots that were duplicated, how bad the animation was, just things you don't notice as a little'un. Some things are better left in the past for sentimentality's sake.

Is this another example, or when I see it now will I still be impressed with the storylines (like TOS) and be engaged? With TOS it was always more about the story than the effects, so hopefully the same will apply to TAS.
