STAR TREK - THE COMPLETE ANIMATED SERIES (NBC 1973-75) William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Majel Barrett
Boldly continuing where Star Trek: The Original Series left off, these animated adventures chart the progress of Captain Kirk, Spock, Bones and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise for 22 new adventures. Produced by Filmation, Star Trek: The Animated Series is often referred to as Star Trek's "fourth season" because it was created in 1973, four years after the third and final season of the original series, and because most of the original cast provided the voices. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, and Majel Barrett reprised their characters, and some contributed other voices as well. The only major omission was Walter Koenig's Chekov, who was replaced at the navigation console by Lieutenant Arex, the three-armed alien. Lieutenant M'Ress, a female Caitian, sometimes stood in for Uhura as communications officer. Initially, Filmation was only going to use the voices of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Doohan and Bar
