Even then I gagged every time Kirk got his Shakespeare on. Now the second generation was another story, much much better. Almost any program or movie are 100% better off without William Shatner in them.
Probably a bit older than me. In my country it didn't air till the early 70ies and I was about 7 or 8 when it did. I wasn't that critical at that age.
When I look at it now, especially Shattner has all the acting talents of a telephone booth. Today I would also vote for the next generation, but the original still brings forth fond childhood memories.
