That would be beyond cool. Cross fingers. After all, Trek needs to start tossing in nuggets like this. Bitch all you want about George changing his movies, but he does includes lots of cool extras with every release. Of course, I'm a bigger Trek fan so I hope we get stuff like screen tests and outtakes.
I'm not sure when I saw it. I think it was the re-runs during summer. I saw DS9 from the very beginning though. Even remember the promo's for it. Found out later on DS9 was actually a rip off of Babylon 5. The concept for the show.
Season 1 and 2 were amazing. I don't know what people were talking about. The Borg were introduced in Q-who? which was a season 2 episode, and that episode was actually scarry and made people fear them. Also as someone else said, season 1 had some good episodes and i like Riker without the beard. I'm probably one of the only people who liked Tasha as well.
@MillBelater yeah, people have no patience today, Seinfeld's ratings sucked for 3 years before people caught on. Imagine all the great shows we missed cuz they got yanked to early :(
@MillBelater there were good season 1 episodes too heart of glory symbiosis home soil coming of age the neutral zone when the bough breaks haven the big goodbye are not bad at all and 110010010 kicked ass. The Battle is good just for Stewart's performance. Even The Naked Now had good moments and don't get me started on Conspiracy. That's an instant classic come on!
There seems to be a tradition in Star Trek promos, in both the movies and TV shows, that half the promo consists of either footage or music not even used in the production they're advertising. Half of this promo consists of footage from the Star Trek movies :)
Great promos though. 80s promos are certainly the most exciting, if also the most cheesy!
The promos really gave you the feel that Star Trek TNG was going to be mostly about people getting frozen and explosions. Also I think that no name Vulcan kid gets more promo screen time than Geordi.
I get so aggravated at people who say they watched TNG from the start, because it isn't true. After how lucky TOS got, TNG was just as lucky, because NO ONE watched it at first because it wasn't the original cast. People didn't really start watching until season 3, when Roddenberry realized he needed to change the formula.
It is so true. I was there from the very first show, and as a fan, I stuck it out. IMO, Season 2 was worse than the first and I thought, well, they tried....a few good shows here and there...BUT THEN, season three kicks in and gives us better looking uniforms and, IMO, the BEST cliffhanger in television history! Now Trek lives on because of that spectacular, very pivotal moment.
@huckbone Agreed. I actually was drifting in and out until I caught the episode "Conspiracy" whichhad the body hijacking aliens. After that one I was hooked for life. Will never forget the climatic Picard and Riker double team.
@LordKinoda Yeah, I own them all on DVD as well. Chances are you're one of the very few who did watch it from the start. Because it was syndicated, it had a better chance of surviving low ratings because another network could pick it up.
@bamapagedesign Well, I was a very little kid when TNG began airing (5 y-o), but I remember that, during the first rerun we had over here (I was 10 by then), I started watching at season 2 and got immediately hooked. I had never watched TOS, and I never did until I was 22. I watched TNG, then GEN, then FC, then the TOS movies, then TOS, then INS and finally Nemesis
@bamapagedesign a) YOU didnt watch it, but many of US did. b) roddenberry realized nothing, the formula was changed when the suits at paramount booted him upstairs into being exec producer, a job with nearly no say in the workings of the show.
I can't I watched TNG from the very beginning, but bets say my Trek loving mum did; I watched it growing up, and I would've been born the day before the fourth episode of Season 1, Code of Honor, aired. Almost guaranteed I was the only reason my mother ever missed an episode. ;)
I actually did, I was in 6th grade when it premiered fall of of 87.
Watched every episode twice a week all seven seasons, the first when it aired first run and again when they had the repeat latter in the week with the excepetion of the final episode as it was aired the same night as my highschool graduation, i had to wait to see it when WTOG 44 repeated it at the end of the week.
I loved the star trek movies and enjoyed watching the reruns of star trek as well as a kid.
@bamapagedesign Cobblers. I watched TNG *from the start*. It was one of the most eagerly-awaited TV series of the 80s/90s. If you're to be believed, it would have been cancelled long before the 3rd season if "no one" watched it prior to season 3.
@InaraPey Undoubtedly you don't know how or why syndication works and why it is preferable to being a network series. Also, if you'd watch the TNG Journey's End documentary and the 25th Anniversary special, you'd know where the information I'm talking about came from.
@bamapagedesign TNG 1st season sold to 210 stations covering 90% of the USA. Ave audience 20 million for the run. Epsiodes each brought-in some $1 million in advertising for Paramount compared to an average of $800,000 for network shows. Season 2 reeled in $90 million in advertising. "Encounter at Farpoint" was one of the highest-rated premieres in terms of viewer numbers in its time. Not bad going for a show "no one" watched for those 2 years. The facts are out there. Read them.
@InaraPey First of all, advertising and syndicates =/= equal viewers per episode. See market share. Secondly, if you're throwing out info from Wikipedia, which is not a credible source, I'm going to ignore you.
Also, there's an interview with Patrick Stewart here on YouTube that's easy to find, where he talks about how unsuccessful the first two seasons of the show really were when it came to viewers.
@bamapagedesign That's right, I've read interviews where he stated that the way things were going Stewart expected to be out of a job very soon. There's also a number of books which corroborate his assessment with stats of the feedback by critics and viewers for Seasons 1 & 2.
Wow this brings me back! I was 2 months old at the time! Got into TNG about 18 years later though! This must have blown people away back then, but the return to farpoint is almost unwatchable now!!
i remember these like it was yesterday...and even have some of them on vhs as they were originally broadcast on my local channel...as for the 'shameless plug' of the movies, paramount threw these together quickly and didnt want to reveal much in the FX for the series especially how the new E would jump into warp...
@evrbody You probably noticed the Genesis sequence from ST2. Although that was 5 years before TNG premiered, the footage had been reused in ST3 and ST4, because of the continued storyline, so I guess it was fresh in people's minds.
is the announcer for these spots the late ABC announcer Ernie Anderson?? It sure sounds like his voice to me.
great promo spots though and like was mentioned, it's such a shame that Paramount chose not to include material like this on the DVD releases of any of the Star Trek franchise.
@maximumvideodrome VERY late reply but--it's the photon torpedo screen from the Enterprise in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (when they're caught in the wormhole....)
I really want to know why they inserted footage of the Genesis planet from Wrath of Kahn. And the closeup clip of the old guy falling made it really obvious the "rock" he lands on is spongy.
I remember watching these promos, and getting so pumped about the new Star Trek! Coming soon! And the music in those promos sounds so exciting, like it was going to be full of action. I also remember watching the show after the opening credits started, wondering, why did they use the STTMP theme?
I have one comment only...would it have been more awesome to have heard the late Vince Fontain do the voice overs for the count down. But this is nice too!
These are NOT the original teases that aired months (a year?) before there was footage available for this 10 day countdown.
The ORIGINAL ones were 1-2 seconds stuck between commercials on stations that ran the Paramount syndication block. They were quick cuts of blueprints building up to profiles of the Galaxy class. No video, just images.
Does ANYONE have these? Maybe an old VHS tape? I would love to see them again in order.
Wow, I remember starting to see these when there was only three days left. Never knew there was 10 days worth of these things! Just seeing the three got me so excited to see the show, I was 12 yrs old at the time too.
I forgot to add that even then I still ended up missing the two-hour premier! I think it wasn't untill the 3rd episode that i actually started watching.
I think watched but wasn't too impressed with the 1st season of the series at the time, but once I saw the first 2-3 episodes of the 2nd season, I was hooked forever.
Whoever made these promos was really fascinated by the sight of people being blasted by freezing air, like it was the most amazing thing they'd ever seen.
Actually, seeing it again, the explosion that the main titles are superimposed over might actually be the same explosion from the MacGyver opening credits!
I'm glad you remember them. I dug them up but the quality was a bit low. So, being the Trek nerd I am, I rented all relevant videos and recreated them so that we may enjoy them in hi quality. Luckily the audio does not suffer from multiple generations the way video does. Anyway, check out the 10 secs (same but shorter) and watch Star Trek as A-Team and Love Boat. You'll dig them!
Dude, you're so right. I love youtube so I can view all this great lost promo stuff, but a good DVD quality copy would be awesome. In fact, my original versions of these were just OK, so I geeked out and re-created every spot exactly. The audio is the actual promo track but the video is re-created from DVD footage. Did the same for the 10 second spots as well. Now, check out Star Trek as A-Team!!
I know they still did it with the later movie trailers, nemesis and insurrection had shots from generations and first contact and even first contact had a shot from generations (in the trailers.
Use these countdown promos for The Next Level Blu-Ray release.
