My partner an I worked fro Walt Disney Studios in the early 2000's lmost all TV shows many flms use the sets at Universal Studios. For examply almost every set used by Star Trek Voyager when they would be on the Holideck was filled tehr as was this. The orignal Baes Motel and the ford in front of it from teh Movie is still there too. As well as the street use for desprate hosuewives and man 50'ss sitcoms. No big deal.

Talking about Star Trek and nobody said happy 50th Anniversary. Were it not for Desilu, it wouldn't have made it.

Mayberry was the fictional town where these shows took place, The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry R.F.D. Probably the best known one from those shows is Ron Howard who played Opie (Sheriff Taylor's son), who's now a big time movie director.
Thank you for that info. As a Star Trek fan, I thought the street seemed familiar, now I know why. Tonight, for me, it will be episodes of Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek The Next Generation. I don't know just yet whether that street will be in them, but I will be watching out for it.
That's not a secret. We know sets are used and reused. We know there are backlots, but most façades are changed. Sometimes they're destroyed. The burning of Atlanta scene in Gone With the Wind was actually the walls from the old King Kong set being burned down to make room for new sets. The actors were substitutes for Gable and Leigh, who hadn't even been cast at the time.
The point is that I was 15 years old when I saw that episode. I've seen it dozens and dozens of times over the decades. I've also seen Floyd's Barbershop dozens and dozens of times. In 50 years, I never made the connection until yesterday when it was pointed out during the Star Trek marathon.
That was the point.
Did anyone ever notice that the main Talosian in 'The Cage/The Menagerie' is Dr. Bellows from 'I Dream of Jeannie?' Even underneath all that makeup.
Actually the Talosians were male characters played by an all female cast. The Talosian Keeper, "the Magistrate", was played by an actress that I've seen for years: Meg Wyllie.
Director Robert Butler convinced Gene Roddenberry that "male" aliens portrayed by female actors would add an interesting element for viewers. With Meg Wyllie in the lead the hope was that viewers might still recognize her through the makeup and make the strange Talosians memorable. All the Talosians were memorable in my opinion.

When TNG was announced, I wasn't sure I'd like it. I was so attached to TOS. Turns out that I really liked it, plus the ones that followed. Lenard Nimoy's (Spock) death actually brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, TNG was good, especially Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard.

Obviously you didn't do anything that required a fluent command of English.
You weren't animated characters by any chance?

Remember the episode Chain of Command (2 parts) where he was captured by the Cardassians? Where he was strung up by his arms and they showed him from the back, he had a nice ass.
It was his, too. The directed offered to let him wear a g-string, but Patrick insisted on doing it au naturel. The director compromised by closing the set. Only essential personnel were allowed in.
Our Space Channel had 5 days of Star Trek marathons with favourite episodes from all 5 series. Chain of Command was one of the episodes shown in TNG.

I would have sworn at one time I saw the name in the credits. I was wrong.

Yeah, when I saw his ass, I wanted to be on my knees behind him.

I was fortunate enough to meet Gene Roddenberry when he was in Milwaukee, screening the original Star Trek pilot, after the series had been cancelled, part of the effort to get the series going again.
He was an Incredible, yet mild mannered, friendly, "every day", guy!
His VISION, and I'm not just talking about the success of the T.V. series, has had SO many influences on the Life that we know today. I can't even begin to list them!
It was through that "normal" dude's dreams, that the actors that portrayed his characters gained prominence of their own. And, ALL of them, whether they intended to, or not, stayed True to his "Utopia", and even today continue to promote his amazing insights!
"Star Trek", and all of it's influence that has followed/expanded, from Gene's imagination, Heart, and Hopes, has positively shaped our current existence in ways none of us can even imagine!
"Star Trek" became "OUR Trek"!

That's when Spock yells, "The Women!".
Love the first version of Spock from "The Cage" - he even smiled at times.
It took a few episodes to iron out the characters of both Mr. Spock and Mr. Data. Spock was rather emotional in 'The Menagerie' and Data not only had some minor emotions, he had a magnificent command of contractions.
Of course, one of my most favourite of all 'Spock' moments was during 'The Naked Time' when he locks himself in a room and tries desperately to regain control of his emotions and ends up laying his head on the table and crying. Shades of Sarek losing control of his emotions due to Bendii Syndrome in TNG, Reunification.
I read some time ago that Nimoy wanted to do the scene in one shot, but director Marc Daniels, didn't think it could be done, mainly because of the size and layout of the room. It was Nimoy who suggested to him where to place the camera and how to move it around his back as he turned in his seat to finally face the camera again.

The communicators used in the original series became flip phones.
