Star Trek Classic or TOS is a culturally significant science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s.

Star Trek is a science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s and aired between September 8, 1966 to September 2, 1969, with a total of 79 episodes produced.
Star Trek was then offered to NBC (NBC executives would later be quoted as saying that the initial pilot script was 'too cerebral'), and executives were favorably impressed with the concept and made the highly unusual decision to commission a second pilot: "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
Series script editor Dorothy C. Fontana (originally Roddenberry's secretary) was also a vital part of the success of Star Trek — she edited most of the series and wrote several episodes.
