Today is the anniversary of the first-ever Star Trek episode, “The Man Trap,” which aired on NBC in 1966.
In it, a “shape-shifting, salt-craving creature terrorizes the crew of Enterprise”. No, it’s not Richard Simmons, but it still made Wired‘s list of 10 Cheesiest Classic Star Trek Creatures.
Head on over to CBS to watch the full episode of “The Man Trap”. (What, no embed capability! Bah!)

Wasn’t Star Trek on NBC originally?
You are correct! CBS is the current rights holder.
