Created by Gene Roddenberry, the science fiction television series Star Trek (which eventually acquired the retronym Star Trek: The Original Series) starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, and crew aboard the fictional Federation starship Enterprise. The series originally aired from September 1966 through June 1969 on NBC.

Star Trek's pilot episode, "The Cage", was completed between November 1964 and January 1965, and starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, Majel Barrett as Number One, and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. After being rejected by NBC as being "too cerebral" (among other complaints), Jeffrey Hunter chose to withdraw from the role of Pike when creator Gene Roddenberry was asked to produce a second pilot episode ("Where No Man Has Gone Before") which later aired in 1966.

After Roddenberry's second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", received a more favorable response from NBC, Star Trek finally aired its first episode - "The Man Trap" - at 7:30PM on September 8, 1966. "Where No Man...", which eventually aired as the series' third episode, only retained Spock as a character from "The Cage", but introduced William Shatner as Captain Kirk, James Doohan as chief engineer Scotty, and George Takei as physicist (later, helmsman) Sulu. DeForest Kelley and Nichelle Nichols joined the cast as ship's surgeon Dr. McCoy and communications officer Uhura in "The Man Trap", the first aired episode of the series.

Although her character of Number One was not retained from "The Cage", Majel Barrett returned to the show as a new character, nurse Christine Chapel, and made her first of many recurring appearances in "The Naked Time". Grace Lee Whitney appeared in seven episodes as yeoman Janice Rand, beginning with "The Man Trap". Whitney left the series after "The Conscience of the King", but would later make minor appearances in the first, third, fourth, and sixth Trek films, as well as one episode of the sequel series Star Trek: Voyager.

Star Trek's first season is comprised of 29 episodes, including the two-part episode "The Menagerie", which includes much of its footage from the original pilot, "The Cage". Other notable episodes include "Balance of Terror", which introduces the Romulans; "Space Seed", which introduces Khan Noonien Singh and serves as the basis for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; "Errand of Mercy", in which the Klingons make their first appearance; and the critically acclaimed, Hugo-Award-winning episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" which features Kirk, Spock, and McCoy traveling into the past through the Guardian of Forever.

The episodes are listed in chronological aair date with their original production number next to them. You can either watch them straight thru or you can watch them by production number. There is no production number 1, as the original pilot episode, "The Cage", was not released until the season three DVD set.
