I am not really sure how old you think I am - but the show ran from 1966 to 1969. I was in Greece at the time and we were about a year behind - So I was watching from 1967 to 1970. I was 3 in 1967. I remember watching it each week with my dad. Then of course, by the time we hit stateside, it was syndicated, so I watched reruns.
And before you tell me I can't remember being 3, I will let you know that my first memory is from when I was about a year old. 
So yeah - first run, that was me, I saw it.
Also used to watch Dark Shadows.

Well, young Miss, I was SEVEN in '67! Ha!
And I watched Dark Shadows, too. Liked it, but thought there wasn't enough action in it (werewolves, vampires, where were the fights?)...aparently Joss agreed with me
Older, but less mature Chrisisall

LOL
I remember the first time Dark Shadows came on, that really weird beginning anyway I FREAKED OUT. Screamed all around the house. The boys (my brothers) still think it is funny.
Hmm older men. I LOVE older men.
back on thread - The original cast of Star Trek is sacrosanct in my view - and must not be dissed.
Ok - how about this Chrisisall - I went to my first geek fest at the age of 10 in Wash, DC. Saw Leonard Nimoy!

FMF, when you were (let's see, carry the nuthin'...)
in your last year of High School, me and a friend were having drinks at a NYC convention hotel bar with James Doohan!
What a cool guy, all friendly and such. No haughty airs to him, just a down-to-planet type. It was for, like, a half hour. He said he understood Shatner's swagger back during the series. Career pressure and so on. Tipsy-ness was imminent, and then he had to go.
Memories...like the tri-corders of my mind...Chrisisall

ah...also a middle child...
and I also loved 'Dark Shadows', but I didn't mind the lack of action,
I liked that Vampires were into the sculking around and intrigue rather than needing to fight like hooligans.
This show remained really popular when I was in college my freshman year in the dorm
(embers is feeling old and nostalgic now)
edited to add:
I didn't see my first Original Star Trek actors in person until just ten years ago!
(late to the party, that's me)

Yeah Yeah Yeah, and when my husband was a Senior I was in the 4th grade. LOL My brothers were born in 58 and 61 so I have a lot of experience with you old fogey's 
I remember Mr. Nimoy telling us about his bike. He rode a bike to the set everyday and was very particular about who touched this bike. Oneday he put it in its usual place and went about his business, when he came back it was gone. Anger ensued and a search was on - no bike. I can't remember how much longer it was, but eventually one heard the theme music and swish from above came the bike. It was a pretty funny story - I understand that Mr. Shatner was the culprit.

on the cheapest most low tech show on earth?
please...
we were lucky we didn't see the wardrobe mistress come on stage and help them w/the costume change
(in college the tacky silliness of 'Dark Shadows' was it's primary charm!)

Here's a good one:
At one convention Angelique Pettyjohn (I wager 1000 quatloos) was showing us her costume, and one guy asked if it was hard to get on (remember, the silver thing?), and she said the original one was, but that she had this one made for conventions, and it came off easy. Then she demonstrated by pulling on some velcro, and removing a cup that exposed her left breast to us, a bunch of ST geeks not yet (most of us) having ever seen a live nude female before. There was a hushed silence, then a round of applause. It was classic.
Woo-hooo Chrisisall
