Just started reading this net and wondered if anyone out there
remembers or was involved in the following...

I believe it was spring of 1968.  NBC had issued rumors that Startrek's
third season would be cancelled.  I was an undergrad at Cal Tech at the
time, and a member of a group of confirmed Trek junkies.

The times seemed to favor rallies, noise and general conspicuousness.
A group at Cal Tech (of which I admit being a member) made the arduous
trip from Pasadena to Burbank to raise hell before the NBC studio
building. Armed with placards and girlfirends, we arrived in the early
evening.  I recall that we got the attention of a middle manager and of
one of the minor characters from the cast.  Of course, we felt we had a
major impact on the decision to continue for a third season (we also
had an even bigger impact on the beer stores in the area).

The rest is history.  NBC continued the third season, which, I feel,
contains the highest density of Startrek bombs of all the seasons.

Does anyone in netville remember more details?
Was anyone else there?
Are you there?
Am I here?
