I thought it was produced by Desilu for NBC (at least initially), but I
may be wrong!

And hasn't Wouter shown (and I think you even agreed, Mito) that it was
shown in Canada several days before in U.S. of A?? And you even claim
you were there, Mito!!

I suppose I am growing up in the "e-mail" times (but not cell-phones!!
We don't even have them now!! No-one in Australia has a cell-phone! No,
wait, two of my sister and a girl-friend were in U.S. of A. last year
and brought 'phones whilst there, so, maybe, they have cell-phones here
in Australia!!) but, as I've typed elsewhere, I did see Star Trek in

So, hang on, which was the *FIRST NETWORK RUN* .... CTV/CBC or NBC??
There can only be one first network run .. the others were first
(NATION) network run, after all!!

Yeah, everytime you lose an argument and want to change the subject by

Russiia is not a member of NATO. And I'm very much okay with that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Treaty

Notice that most members are in Europe or North America, the two continents
with the North Atlantic Ocean in between them.

The US is or was involved in several other treaties:

That's what NATO stands for: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. :-)

Since Russia isn't on the North Atlantic ocean, there's no reason it would
be really included in anything but a courtesy way.

Another one is ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand, United States), which is
somewhat still intact, although New Zealand won't allow any ships with
nuclear power or weapons into it's waters.

Russia is most definitely NOT part of NATO in any way, shape or form.

Ha ha! Funny guy. NBC gets the nod. It was produced by Desilu and
broadcast by NBC and simulcast (actually a few days earlier) by CTV.

Now then, about that 800-pound elephant in the room: NORWAY
PRODUCTIONS. What the hell was/is that?

Membership in NATO is not about geography but power politics. See:
Turkey, Greece, the Baltic states, the Romulan Neutral Zone, etc..

Gene Roddenberry's production company.
Producers or executive producers have their own production companies
with which the series are co-produced with the major studio.

Rod Serling had Cayuga Productions, Alfred Hitchcock had Shamley
Productions, Dick Wolf has Dick Wolf Productions, etc.

Thanks. I knew that. Sort of.

Italy is not on the North Atlantic ocean, either, but *is* a member of
NATO!!

I'd almost accept Wouter Valentijn's notion that it all works if you
think of it as a combined Europe, except that Switzerland (I think it
is) is not a member.

An /entire/ combined Europe? Not so much.
Consider the situation of the World (Europe specifically) in the aftermath
of World War II.
The USSR was a threat and it had already a strong influence/dominance in
Eastern Europe.
The US needed a stable partner (or partners) close to that and of course,
they wanted to protect what they and their allies had fought for in WWII.
Western Europe was in no shape to protect itself and needed a strong friend
to keep it safe. And that might still be the case.
I think the use of the term 'North Atlantic' is good enough for that treaty.
It is what the /involving continents/ (or at least some of the countries on
those continents) have in common when they first signed it.
If they had used something similar to 'ANZUS'....
Just imagine the name they would have to come up with the initial alliance!
:-)
