People whine about Shatner's overacting and the fact that the show was none too subtle, which only add to the charm. I don't mind that the show had social commentary in some sense either. It was entertainment, folks, at least to some of us. Lighten up! I'll never forget in high school when me and some other Trekkers talked about the show, one said, "Kickass show!" It pretty much is, even if it wasn't Shakespeare. At least for its time it had at least SOMETHING resembling scriptwriting, and was miles ahead of many other sci fi shows of the '60s, particularly the Irwin Allen show. Don't get me wrong: I'll watch those shows too to this day.
As written in the book "Harry and Wally's Favorite TV Shows," "whatever flaws Trek has, at least it soars." Capt. Kirk was the quintessential cool starshp commander, and the interaction between Bones and Spock over logic vs. emotion was one of the best relationships on TV back in the day. There was abviously much chemistry between the actors.
