Being the second Trek on BBCA makes it just a little less weird.
But if the Emmy people thought Picard was British, maybe someone at BBCA 
thought the same thing.

[TV orNotTV] BBCA adding to its Trek offerings

Actually the newish channel Heroes and Icons (available on Long Island and 
other areas) has been playing original Star Treks and other oldies since mid 
July.  It's ch 140 on Cablevision/Optimum and began with first ep.

[TV orNotTV] BBCA adding to its Trek offerings

2016-09-08 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
This may be a one-time deal connected with the 50th anniversary (today) of the 
television debut of Star Trek, but BBC America is airing episodes from the 
first series for the first time.  The episodes start tonight at 8:30 (the same 
time the original series debuted) and are going to be uncut (but with 
commercials) versions of the remastered episodes.  If you can't wait for 8:30, 
the channel is currently running Next Generation episodes that feature the 
original series cast.

The run is strictly season one and two, and will air in broadcast order.  After 
one run through both seasons (interrupted in the wee hours by the same Next 
Generation repeats as this afternoon), BBCA will re-air what it considers the 
best episodes from the first two seasons (I wouldn't argue with their choices, 
but YMMV).  That should start Sunday night.

This might be the first time these episodes have been available on TV in the US 
since about 2009, right after the remastered episodes were first released.

David
