The One That Started It All... on TV, and now it's on DVD!
So many episodes, so little time!
But of all the series, this one and Voyager were my favorites.
You can look back at these now, and realize that very little is dated, and viewing these episodes will help you understand the Star Trek Museum in Las Vegas when you go there!
This is a good start for someone attempting to collect the best of the Star Trek franchise items!

The first season of the original Star Trek series was its best. Included in this set are such classic episodes as "Space Seed", "Errand of Mercy", and the Hugo Award winner "City on the Edge of Forever". Here we see the development of the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy triumvirate, the introduction of memorable characters such as Mudd and Khan who will later return, and the first appearances of the Romulans and the Kingons, in what are the most important episodes from the original series to feature them.
Unfortunately, following the pilot, the first several episodes of the season are among the weakest Trek episodes produced. One has to sit through dross like "The Corbomite Maneuver", "The Enemy Within", and "Miri" before reaching such breakout episodes as "Balance of Terror" and "Dagger of the Mind". Luckily, "The Megagerie" (which also won a Hugo Award) starts a trend of episodes extending all the way to the end of the season that are unquestionably the best in the entire run of the original series. This run of episodes alone is worth the price for the entire season.
A final note: "The Cage", the original, unaired pilot episode for Star Trek which featured a different cast, is strangely not included in this season, but rather in the season three set (probably because season three features fewer episodes and is of lower quality). "The Cage" is a fantastic episode, and it is unfortunate that the viewer of the first season is not able to view it before "The Menagerie" (which follows up on the story) or "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (the aired second pilot which isn't quite as good but introduces Kirk). Nevertheless, season one is the best of the original Star Trek and the perfect choice for someone seeking an introduction to the series.

If you love Star Trek, the digital DVD quality is so much better than the VHS versions, being able to still a screen view to find out details that you always wondered about (like what things are measured on McCoy's medical scanner over the hospital beds).

This item is a "must have" for lovers of Star Trek the original series. All of the difinitive character development and the bases for the later series and movies all come from this first set of tales from the "Final Frontier."

The DVD I never bought1 of 4 people found this review helpful.
I was buying this for my daughter so she could give it as a Christmas gift. Upon sucessfully placing the winning bid I then went to paypal to pay for the item. I was later informed that were was a problem with the sellers paypal account. Due to the issue with the sellers account a portion of my purchase price would be refunded. I recieved a portion of my funds back and was then told that if I wanted the item I would have to contact the seller and send him either a money order or give him my credit card info.

Star Trek-The Complete First Season (2004, DVD)
) 1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
One of my favorite tv shows of all time. I prefer the Original Series to all other Star Trek series (although I like those too). Most of the story lines are thought-provoking. I love the chemistry of the characters and, yes, I love to watch William Shatner over acting! He's great! Another show that was ahead of its time.

Worst seller everReview created: 12/28/08

This has got to be the worst person to do business with. It has been over a month since I ordered this product and it never, NEVER showed up. He doesn't respond to e- mails, even after multiple attempts to contact. I have filed a complaint with paypal and my master card and really hope this seller gets whats coming to him.

Should have been released in a set then!Review created: 06/01/07
by:
When the DVD boom hit the world market. Paramount decided to release them 2 episode per disc with no specials. Now with all the fans who are very mad because they wasted money for space increase. All three seasons of Trek in now out on DVD sets. What sucks about these sets is no offers of special features such as commercial trailers for the next Trek episodes. And the most important one of them all is the experimental version of the Pilot episode, "Where no Man has Gone Before". Or even the actual The Cage episode. If ever Paramount is trying to pull a "George Lucas" sales pitch on us with re-releases I stop with what I got. But meanwhile if you are a Trek fan and a must have it person, this is recommended but I would wait for another 5-10 years for a supreme deluxe edition.
