Quote - I saw it for sale as a DVD collection in Best Buy awhile back and should have bought it. I recall it was not cheap.
No worries. CBS currently owns the television rights, so you can pop over to the CBS site and watch them for free (though you'll have to endure commercial breaks).

Note, M'Ress appeared in only 6 of the 22 episodes, and like Uhura, she had little to do beyond playing switchboard operator. Plus, Majel's performance is less than stellar. Before the show was repeated on Nick in the 1980s, my fading memories of the character were a bit "rose tinted" by favorable embellishments by Alan Dean Foster who adapted the adventures into prose. The reality revealed in those 80s reruns left me a bit "wanting". Thus the character as I've rendered her is admittedly, an "interpretation".
I was going to state you can watch the oiginal series, too, either the broadcast versions or the "Remasters" with the updated effects, but it looks like CBS has dropped those in favor of short clips. Well, the used to be available.
Quote - I like the new render too.
Thanks! That means a lot coming from a skilled practitioner of celebrity morphs such as yourself.
Sincerely,
