Just in case some of you do not know that today is Shanter Sunday on the history channel. There is a new bio and another show onto night based upon that book that he put his name on by the title I'm Working on that. There is all so a little star war documentary thrown in between the other two shows, starts about three here in the wild wild west.

Yeah I don't know how star wars figured into Shatner Day. I mean a better show to put on is this one special on science fiction I saw, I think it was called Fantastic Voyage. It showed the evolution of science fiction throughout history and prominently featured a section on Star Trek (as well as Star Wars) and its impact on sci-fi. That would have been a more fitting show in my opinion. The fact that they put a whole bunch of UFO shows on too doesn't seem to fit either, since I really don't care about people who have said they've been taken aboard UFO's and have been given the bad touch by aliens.

I think its all blasphemy! Blasphemy I say! As it has not aired yet, and I�m only judging the program off of the commercials� Shatner claims it is he who is responsible for a hundred myriad of things in technological innovation, and even went so far as to say he was the one who opened the door to interracial dating��� SO� *ponders* Was Roddenberry asleep at the wheel the entire time, and it was actually Shatner who was the one truly creating what Trek is? �.Or does Shatner now deserve to be tarred and feathered for making these claims????

Probably all of the above! I'm sure it isn't promotional shorthand designed to keep a show's pitch at soundbite length.

I think it has something to do with the fact that he can't outright say Star Trek did this that or the other because the shows aren't done by Paramount.

I watched it last night. It was very tongue-in-cheek, and pretty funny. And yes, he did say that it was actually Star Trek and not him. I nearly fell over when Johnathan Frakes was "beamed" into a pub while still in his pajamas and brushing his teeth!
