Some historical perspective on Father’s Day. The first season of Star Trek, 1966-1967, coincided with my father’s senior year of college. He majored in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University, which didn’t admit women until the 1968-1969 school year, coinciding with the third and final season of Star Trek. I came along five years later, after he got his master’s degree and moved to Cincinnati. My own college years included the end of TNG and the premieres of DS9 and VOY.

I watched it in the mid-seventies as a kid of 6-8. I was on one of the 6 channels our tv got, a “UHF” station.

I also stumbled across ST in the mid-70s, and was immediately enamored. For a good while it was syndicated on 3 different channels, so I often watched it 3 times a day!! The TV was in our parlor where we all often hung out, so I guess I drove my parents and sister crazy with Trek!!
