I liked Enterprise best out of all of them, too. Most of my family agreed. It was grittier and more dangerous. We were very disappointed with its early demise.

Is it this one called ‘ The Captain’s Summit’, which is narrated by Whoopie Goldberg?

NO!
God forbid no!
I mean this one:

This was a movie that Shatner made himself.
I like his interview style. I became a bigger fan of the Shat after his great interview with Rush a few years ago.

You are correct; “The Cage” never actually aired in its entirety in the series. It was rejected by the studio as “too cerebral”, but it impressed them enough that they gave the unprecedented order to make a second pilot, which won them over.

Circa 1988 there was a restored version of “The Cage” (assembled from “The Menagerie” and Gene Roddenberry’s black-and-white copy of the pilot) released on tape; sometime in the 1990s a complete color copy of “The Cage” was reportedly discovered in a Paramount film vault and aired as a TV special.

“We were very disappointed with its early demise.”

I blame the theme music. Pathetic.

It was a two-part episode and I called my sister and said, “whatever happens in the rest of the world or in my life, I WILL be in front of my television for Part II next week.”

LOL!

I remember my sister and I had alternating days where we could pick 1 hour of what we wanted to watch.

Of course HER day was the one Star Trek premiered on, so I traded my entire week just to have that one day.

In the tradition of big sisterhood, she tried to renege on the deal just as the show was about to start. I launched myself across the living room and proceeded to do my best to wipe that smug look off her face with the living room floor. [Thank goodness Mom was in the next room and heard the whole thing.]

After that, our 'choosing' days got switched, and I never missed an episode!

Oh, yeah. The theme was not Trekian at all. Lyrics?!

Gene Roddenberry gave lecture tours in the mid 1970s showing this episode. That's where I saw it.
