I had no idea about this about the history of Star Trek. We owe it to Lucy for bringing us Star Trek that's endured to this day.

Lucy boldly went where no female Hollywood executive had gone before.

“Cushman also wrote for other high-profile shows”

In the article — I fail to see the value in putting this crud in the article. Idiots.

I guess it took landing on the moon for space adventure shows to gain attention..

“We owe it to Lucy for bringing us Star Trek that’s endured to this day.”

Like the Adult themes in the Flintstones, the stories on Star Trek will continue to resonate with people for eternity...as they both deal with how we’re wired.

Yup. She made a great decision concerning Star Trek and she didn’t even know how big it would get.

I met her as a little kid my mom modeled clothes for her at Bullocks Wilshire she was always a joy to us Imma twin and she always sent us a card and a few bucks up till about 1970

I’ve never bet too heated up about Science Fiction, but
Mannix and Mission Impossible were Must See TV in my household. One of the few prime time shows my parents both liked. We watched Mannix on Friday nights, right after Wild, Wild, West and That Girl on a different network.

Lalo Schifrin wrote the theme songs for both Mannix and Mission Impossible. Those themes paved the way for the excited of the episode. In Mannix, it started with a frantic brass section, moving quickly into a commanding trombone solo.
One of Lalo’s American influences was Dizzy Gillespie.

Wow television so different back in the day…. Only three networks with the limited appeal of syndication as a not very viable alternative. You sold your show to the networks or …. Desilu had a lot of big hits. Heck I’m surprised Mannix had not inspired a movie - everything else has!

LUCY! has some ‘splainin’ to do.....

[Paul R.]

I did not know this either! Very cool, and, thanks for posting it.

All I have to say is Capt. Kirk would kick Capt. Picard’s ass across the galaxy

[Gay State Conservative]

Just saw an episode last night...the one that featured Abraham Lincoln (can’t recall the title). Not all episodes were classics but many were.

In May of 1980 I was in the audience for a taping of Password with Alan Ludden and Lucy was on the show. It was great.
