(Ebook) Star Trek and American Television by Roberta Pearson, Máire Messenger Davies ISBN 9780520276215, 0520276213

At the heart of one of the most successful transmedia franchises of all time, Star Trek, lies an initially unsuccessful 1960s television production, Star Trek: The Original Series. In Star Trek and American Television,
Pearson and Messenger Davies, take their cue from the words of the
program’s first captain, William Shatner, in an interview with the
authors: “It’s a television show.” In focusing on
Star Trek
as a television show, the authors argue that the program has to be seen
in the context of the changing economic conditions of American
television throughout the more than four decades of
Star Trek’s
existence as a transmedia phenomenon that includes several films as
well as the various television series. The book is organized into three
sections, dealing with firstly, the context of production, the history
and economics of
Star Trek from the original series (1966-1969) to its final television incarnation in Enterprise
(2002-2005). Secondly, it focuses on the interrelationships between
different levels of production and production workers, drawing on
uniquely original material, including interviews with star captains
William Shatner and Sir Patrick Stewart, and with production workers
ranging from set-builders to executive producers, to examine the
tensions between commercial constraints and creative autonomy. These
interviews were primarily carried out in Hollywood during the making of
the film
Nemesis (2002) and the first series of Star Trek: Enterprise. Thirdly, the authors employ textual analysis to study the narrative “storyworld” of the Star Trek
television corpus and also to discuss the concept and importance of
character in television drama. The book is a deft historical and
critical study that is bound to appeal to television and media studies
scholars, students, and
Star Trek fans the world over. With a foreword by Sir Patrick Stewart, Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
