List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a complete list of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes. The episodes are listed here in two ways - in the order that they were originally aired by NBC, and in the order that they were produced by Desilu and Paramount. There are valid reasons for both.

[edit] Airdate order
This method of ordering represents the chronological history of the show as a broadcast program. It reflects the way in which the show was originally released to the public: Season 1 ("The Man Trap" to "Operation: Annihilate!"), Season 2 ("Amok Time" to "Assignment: Earth"), and Season 3 ("Spock's Brain" to "Turnabout Intruder"). The later DVD releases, ordered by season, follow this order.

[edit] Production order
In the early 1970s Paramount released Star Trek to television stations as a syndication package of 78 episodes. These were arranged by order of production, from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" to "Turnabout Intruder." Airdates were no longer relevant since every episode was a rerun. Seasons were also irrelevant, since the series was now a single package. VHS and early DVD releases follow this order. Episode #1, the series' original pilot, was not originally a part of the package. Also, both parts of "The Menagerie" are numbered as episode #16.
