Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a must have for Trekkies! It's so fun to watch old episodes with enhanced visual effects, or watch in original integrity. Great extras with an unaired alternate version!

I reviewed the Season 1 & 2 DVD Star Trek TOS sets (gold, blue cases) and the same applies to season 3 (red case). It was my favorite show when I was a kid and still is. The DVD set brings it to life in brilliant color, so much better than the images on the old tube TVs. I watched it in black & white as a kid. It's amazing in these DVDs. No letterbox format lines, it's full screen on my 19" flatscreen TV. One of the best extras was the episode "The Cage," which was the pilot for the original concept for the show with Jeffrey Hunter as Capt Pike, Majel Barrett Roddenberry as Number 1, and Nimoy as Spock. It was reworked into the TOS Trek two part episode, "The Menagerie," when Shatner signed on for role of Capt Kirk. I've never seen The Cage before except in The Menagerie scenes. Very interesting differences. Shatner and Hunter both had The Prime Ingredient to play their respective roles. The only thing wrong with this set was that a hinge was broken on one of the disc holders, but the discs were all good and played with remarkable clarity. Very well worth the investment for people like myself who intend to watch this show again & again. Its artistically done sets, simplicity and color, and iconic soundtrack music all come together to make it what it is. No, its not perfect, there are inconsistencies in some episodes, but they created a winner. It's one of the few shows still being produced after so many decades. While I'm not into the newer versions, each generation has their own. I do intend to get the animated 1970's Trek set with the original characters and the Next Generation set with Picard, but that's as far as I go. Otherwise I'll be buying old SF movies and other old TV series sets, mostly from the 60's. It was unfortunate that I lost transmission on the 6 day a week rerun of the show right after I got this set. It still airs on two antenna TV stations in my area, but now I only get the late Saturday night episode. With this DVD set I can still Return To Yesterday again.

This is an outstanding television series that looks and sounds better on Blueray than it ever did on TV. I should know, I'm a longtime avid fan of the original series. Nearly every episode holds up very well and withstands the test of time. There are however, a few (very few) that have not aged well, but even those episodes are quaint and are certainly a product of their times. The enhanced visual effects are excellent and do not draw attention to themselves so they are a much appreciated addition. You can watch all these episodes without the enhanced effects if you choose to, for a more authentic viewing experience. My only complaint is the annoying episode selection screen which is not exactly intuitive or self explanatory. In other words you have to play around with it a bit before you understand how to change episodes, but once you get it, it's no longer a problem. Other than that, this is as good as Star Trek gets and I highly recommend it to fans of all the other Star Trek spinoffs. After all, you wouldn't have Star Trek TNG, Star Trek DS9, Star Trek Voyager or Star Trek Enterprise without the 5 year mission of James T. Kirk and his original crew. (Even if the mission lasted only 3 years.) This set is well worth your time and investment.

I saw this in the store and had to get it. I haven't bought any of the original series over the years. Picked up season 3 as well as 1 and 2. THe new CGI is both amazing and a little different as I remember most of the series growing up in my childhood. Haven't actually gotten to watching season 3 yet, I'm half way through season 2. But hey, Star Trek is the best. From Spock's beard to Spock's brain ... yes shameless Prog plug, ... but not as we know it.

This was an upgrade for me from the dvd version to blu ray. When I purchased it in Sept 2015, this season was only $25. For Star Trek, this is unusually cheap. I imagine that means that a new version will be released for the 50th anniversary of Trek in 2016, and the stores are clearing out the old stuff. This has both the original version and the remastered special effects version. It is a great value if you can fid it for $25 and are not concerned that a better version may be coming soon.

The third & final season of Original Series Star Trek was an uneven one. But in fairness, there were some good points in it. And understanding that, this is a well-done set. Once again, the remastered effects versions are here in full HD along with the original untouched versions. Bonus features from the DVD set are here as well.

This classic sci-fi show is still fun to watch over and over again, but now in high-definition. it's like watching it for the first time! Great transfers and having the choice to watch the episodes with updated effects or original is awesome! Great extras as well!

I was hesitant about spending a lot on this third season. But family really wanted to watch it with me as we had previously done with season 1 & @. We were not disappointed. Great show with all new special effects and extras. Worth every penny.

The last season of the classic series had some excellent episodes & a few lousy ones, but they all look better remastered, cleaner & uncut. The extras are interesting. I bought this as a Christmas present, but I'm going to enjoy it just as much!

I was tired of watching Star Trek on TV because they omited lines. I bought a range and earned $30. So I bought all 3 seasons in DVD, basically getting 1 season free. They are nicely boxed and it's easy to find the episode you want

I grew up watching Star Trek and loved it. I like the way they made the picture quality better and put on blue ray. I bought all three seasons from Best Buy. Thanks

The remasters have amazing clarity. And the special features at the end of each disk...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is absolutely nothing like seeing the original Star Trek, in its original TV form. Even though it may not be high-def, this is the real deal in all it's true glory!!! There's nothing else like it!!

Wonderful DVD set. We always enjoy watching the best TV science fiction show.

Brings back wonderful memories from childhood where we dreamed about the future. This series is a must have for science fiction lovers.

Great product! Speedy delivery, fun times. Thank you!

If you're a fan of the Star Trek franchise, you have to buy the original series. Only 3 seasons long, this 3rd season set is awesome. Highly recommended.

Every Trekkie knows these 3 letters, TOS. When it debut, it was before it's time. Live Long and Prosper. Couldn't help myself.

The Original Series, hard to believe this only lasted 3 seasons!

I have had no issues with any of the disks. Color and Audio are great.
