Although cancelled after a relatively short run, the program was placed in syndication, where it spawned a strong fan following and, later, achieved iconic status as an American - and eventually worldwide - television phenomenon. Set in the 23rd century, Star Trek follows the adventures of the starship Enterprise and her crew, led by Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his First Officer Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Star Trek Roddenberry, Gene Share In September 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation continued the legend that Gene Roddenberry began 25 years prior. As creator and producer of the original Star Trek television series, he launched a phenomenon without precedent in show business and attained a celebrity status unique among his peers.

Although Gene Roddenberry passed away October 24, 1991, his legacy remains as Star Trek: The Next Generation continues to flourish and grow in movie theaters, and three television series based upon Star Trek — Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Star Trek: Voyager , and now Enterprise — maintain his vision of the future. While making Star Trek, Roddenberry's reputation as a futurist began to grow. His papers and lectures earned him high professional regard as a visionary. He spoke on the subject at NASA meetings, the Smithsonian Institution, Library of Congress gatherings, and top universities. As creator of the beloved Starship Enterprise and its crew, which included the heroic Captain Kirk and the logical Vulcan , Mr. Spock , Roddenberry unwittingly unleashed a phenomenon in which Star Trek enthusiasts became a veritable cult, numbering physicists, aerospace engineers, housewives, senators, children, teachers and intellectuals among its devotees (affectionately known as "Trekkies," and later, "Trekkers"). The show went outside television to win science fiction's coveted Hugo Award and then spawned an animated spin-off , as well as a series of feature films.

Gene Roddenberry led a life as colorful and exciting as almost any high-adventure fiction. He was born in El Paso, Texas, on August 19, 1921, spent his boyhood in Los Angeles, studied three years of policemanship and then transferred his academic interest to aeronautical engineering and qualified for a pilot's license. He volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Corps in the fall of 1941 and was ordered into training as a flying cadet when the United States entered World War II. Emerging from Kelly Field, Texas, as a Second Lieutenant, Roddenberry was sent to the South Pacific where he entered combat at Guadalcanal, flying B-17 bombers out of the newly-captured Japanese airstrip, which became Henderson Field. He flew missions against enemy strongholds at Bougainville and participated in the Munda invasion. In all, he took part in approximately 89 missions and sorties. He was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. While in the South Pacific, he also began to write. He sold stories to flying magazines, and later poetry to publications, including The New York Times.

Upon his return from combat, he became a trouble-shooter for the Air Force working out of Washington, D.C., investigating the causes of air crashes. At war's end, he joined Pan American World Airways. During this time, he also studied literature at Columbia University. It was on a flight from Calcutta that his plane lost two engines and caught fire in mid-air, crashing at night in the Syrian desert. As the senior surviving officer, Roddenberry sent two Englishmen swimming across the Euphrates River in quest of the source of a light he had observed just prior to the crash. Meanwhile, he parleyed with nomads who had come to loot the dead. The Englishmen reached a Syrian military outpost, which sent a small plane to investigate. Roddenberry returned with the small plane to the outpost, where he broadcast a message that was relayed to Pan Am, which sent a stretcher plane to the rescue. Roddenberry later received a Civil Aeronautics commendation for his efforts during and after the crash. Back in the States, Roddenberry continued flying until he saw television for the first time.

Correctly estimating television's future, he realized that the new medium would need writers and decided that Hollywood's film studios would soon dominate the new industry. He acted immediately, left his flying career behind and went to Hollywood, only to find the television industry still in its infancy, with few openings for inexperienced writers. At a friend's suggestion, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department, following in his father's footsteps and gaining experiences which would be valuable to a writer. By the time he had become a sergeant, Roddenberry was selling scripts to such shows as Goodyear Theatre, The Kaiser Aluminum Hour, Four Star Theater, Dragnet, The Jane Wyman Theater and Naked City. Established as a writer, he turned in his badge and became a freelancer. Later, he served as head writer for the highly popular series Have Gun, Will Travel. His episode "Helen of Abiginian" won the Writers Guild Award and was distributed to other writers as a model script for the series. Next, he created and produced The Lieutenant series, starring Gary Lockwood and Robert Vaughn; it told the story of a young man learning the lessons of life while in the United States Marine Corps. Star Trek followed (1966-1969).

The first of the two pilots was pronounced "too cerebral" by the network and rejected. Once on the air, however, Star Trek developed a loyal following and has since become the first television series to have an episode preserved in the Smithsonian, where an 11-foot model of the U.S.S. Enterprise is also exhibited on the same floor as the Wright brother's original airplane and Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis." In addition to the Smithsonian honors, NASA's first space shuttle was named Enterprise , in response to hundreds of thousands of letters from fans demanding that the shuttle be named after the beloved starship. After the Star Trek series ended, Roddenberry produced the motion picture "Pretty Maids All in a Row," starring Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson and Telly Savalas, and also made a number of pilots for TV. Among these were Genesis II for CBS (1973), about an Earth recovering from World War III. Next came The Questor Tapes for NBC (1974), the story of an android in search of his creator, then a sequel to Genesis II — Planet Earth, for ABC.

He also co-wrote and produced "Spectre" (1977), a two-hour horror movie for NBC. Roddenberry served as a member of the Writers Guild Executive Council and as a Governor of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He held three honorary doctorate degrees: Doctor of Humane Letters from Emerson College (1977), Doctor of Literature from Union College in Los Angeles, and Doctor of Science from Clarkson College in Potsdam, New York (1981). On September 4, 1986, Gene Roddenberry's fans presented him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the first writer/producer to be so honored. Star Trek: The Next Generation, in its first year in syndication, was awarded with the 1987 Peabody Award for the "Best of the Best." The series also garnered many of the prestigious Emmy awards throughout its seven year run. In February 1990, the March of Dimes honored Roddenberry with the Jack Benny Memorial Award of lifetime achievement.

On Thursday, October 24, 1991 Gene Roddenberry passed away and a world not so far away mourned the loss of one of television's foremost pioneers. At the time of his passing, Gene was survived by his wife Majel Barrett ("Nurse Chapel" from Star Trek and "Lwaxana Troi" in Star Trek: The Next Generation) and their 17-year-old son, Gene Roddenberry, Jr., his two grown daughters from a previous marriage, as well as two grandchildren. In addition to having served as executive consultant on Star Trek feature productions, Roddenberry added "novelist" to his writing repertoire. His novelization of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (Pocket Books, 1979) sold close to a million copies and was ranked number one on the national bestseller lists for many weeks. The legacy of Star Trek, as created by Gene Roddenberry, continues to grow as the newest series, Enterprise, joins Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.

Star Trek: The Next Generation has evolved into a feature film series, debuting in 1994 with " Star Trek Generations ." Roddenberry is often affectionately referred to as the "Great Bird of the Galaxy." PERSONAL WEB SITE Humanity in ‘Star Trek’ still impacts creator’s son at Comic-Con 2016 Humanity in ‘Star Trek’ still impacts creator’s son at Comic-Con 2016 By Peter Larsen , The Orange County Register Posted: # Comments Roddenberry Entertainment CEO Rod Roddenberry, son of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, gives the Vulcan salute on a mockup of the original starship bridge during the first day of Comic-Con 2016 at the San Diego Convention Center Thursday. KEVIN SULLIVAN/Staff Photographer SAN DIEGO>>When Rod Roddenberry tells you he never watched “Star Trek,” the legendary TV show created by his father Gene Roddenberry, until after his dad had died, it seems … highly illogical, to quote the mighty Spock, a kind of mental shock as if you’d just been hit by a phaser set to stun.

But then he explains that when was born in 1974 into the First Family of “Star Trek” – his mother was actress Majel Barrett, who played nurse Christine Chapel on the show – the series had been over for five years. And when Gene Roddenberry died in 1991, Rod Roddenberry says during an interview at the Roddenberry Entertainment booth at Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday, he was still a 17-year-old kid more interested in fast cars, cute girls and heavy metal. Now, though, as “Star Trek” celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and a new movie (not created, but supported by the younger Roddenberry) arrives, Rod Roddenberry is the leading disciple of the philosophy his father helped established all those years ago. “What I’m connected to is the philosophy,” the 42-year-old says. “I didn’t get ‘Star Trek’ when I was a little kid. I liked shows that were a little more one-dimensional. A good guy, a bad guy, a car chase, an explosion. “So it wasn’t until my father passed away that I started hearing stories about how ‘Star Trek’ inspired people,” Roddenberry says.

“I was shocked by this – I had no idea. “When he passed away I spent years going to conventions and meeting people and hearing stories,” he says. “And I became so proud of my father and the series and the ideas that he planted in the show.” Roddenberry says his favorite way of looking at the worlds and ideas of “Star Trek” is through the concept of IDIC – Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, a Vulcan philosophy that developed over the course of the show. “The idea in ‘Star Trek’ was they were out there exploring strange new worlds and meeting different life,” he says. “The appreciation, and not being afraid of these new ideas, is what made us stronger as a species. “So when I think of ‘Star Trek,’ when I think of 50 years, I definitely think of that message.” Advertisement Roddenberry says he’s not comfortable as a Hollywood player, but Roddenberry Entertainment doesn’t lack for projects it has released or has in the pipeline. Project 366 offers a daily item from the Roddenberry vaults throughout this 50th anniversary year, one new document or photo or other item posted daily at Roddenberry.com .

Also on the horizon is “Holoscape,” a new TV series in production that would portray a post-apocalyptic world after the collapse of civilization in World War III. It follows how a group of young survivors fight to revive the culture and values of a better humanity. And set for next year is a new “Star Trek” television series on which Roddenberry and Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment are executive producers. That show, which is being created by Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Fuller-- both of whom have backgrounds with other “Star Trek” series-- is slated for CBS’s new All Access digital subscription service. “They understand that you can’t just have the sci-fi stuff,” Roddenberry says of Kurtzman and Fuller. “They understand that you have to have the humanity, you’ve got to have the messaging. You’ve got to have something all through it that makes you at least consider new ideas and perspectives.” The Roddenberry Foundation is another part of his life of which he’s particularly proud, the family foundation through which organizations, institutions and individuals working for the long-term advancement of humanity are funded.

“It’s very much inspired by ‘Star Trek,’ and the goal is to help solve global problems,” Roddenberry says of the foundation, more information on which can be found at Roddenberryfoundation.org . America and the Utopian Dream | Utopian Literature GENE RODDENBERRY Star Trek Star Trek began in 1966 as a science fiction television show created by Gene Roddenberry, a retired police officer. More than thirty years, four TV series, and eight movies later, Star Trek is the most popular series in the history of television. In addition to its entertainment value, Star Trek may attribute its longevity and popularity to an optimistic vision of a future in which humankind not only prospers, but also fosters a world of peace and equality for all – a universal utopia. Movies with such titles as The Undiscovered Country and The Final Frontier borrow their language from utopian sources, as do television episodes like The Way to Eden in which space-hippies search for the planet Eden, Paradise Syndrome, and Plato’s Stepchildren, which included the first interracial kiss on television.

The influence of Star Trek has reached into the realm of serious space exploration: in 1976, NASA named the first U.S. Space Shuttle "Enterprise," after receiving 400,000 requests from Star Trek fans, while a 1993 study from Purdue University found that children learn more about science from Star Trek than from any other source. In syndication in over 100 countries, Star Trek’s utopian mantra is perhaps more famous than any other: Space - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Their ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before. Star Trek Creator’s Son Rod Roddenberry to Produce New Trek TV Series Star Trek Creator’s Son Rod Roddenberry to Produce New Trek TV Series Share Comment Last month it was announced that Bryan Fuller, the creator of the much beloved cult-hit basic cable drama Hannibal , will serve as the show-runner of the all new Star Trek program on CBS to be aired through their exclusive streaming service.

Based on the original property and series run created by Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s, the new show will is set to feature Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan director, Nicholas Meyer, as writer and producer , and may see the return of such franchise all-stars as actor Tony Todd (who previously played Kurn on Star Trek: The Next Generation). Fans of the original CBS science-fiction drama are no doubt hoping for a more subtle and philosophically mindful genre production in keeping with series creator Roddenberry’s original vision when the series finally sees its premiere in January 2017, and no doubt have certain expectations of where they might like to see the property taken next. That being said, the latest news sure sounds promising regarding a return to the seminal appeal of the series given the choice of the show’s latest executive producers. According to THR , Gene Roddenberry’s son, Rod Roddenberry, will be joined by Trevor Roth, COO of Roddenberry Entertainment, as executive producers on the new CBS show.

Joining the likes of such seminal television talents and co-producers as Alex Kurtzman ( Star Trek Into Darkness ), Heather Kadin, and Fuller, it would appear as though the return of Star Trek to television is in more than capable hands, and could very well result in a new program capable of pleasing even the most die hard Trekkies. When asked for comment on the program’s latest choice of executive producers, Fuller stated: “Gene Roddenberry, the Great Bird of the Galaxy, left a finely feathered nest for all who love Star Trek to enjoy. It is only fitting that Rod Roddenberry and Roddenberry Entertainment join our new Trek adventure to ensure that his father’s legacy of hope for the future and infinite diversity in infinite combinations runs through our tales as Gene Roddenberry intended.” Such strong words of commendation for Rod Roddenberry’s familial legacy going forward on the new project are certainly stirring, and serve to speak to the kind of integrity that viewers can hope to see when the pilot episode premieres early next year.

As far as taking up the reins to his father’s legacy as a seminal creator of original broadcast television programming, the junior Roddenberry remarked: “While I will always be humbled by its legacy and the legions of fans who are its guardians, it’s a genuine honor to be joining a team of imaginative and incredibly capable individuals whose endeavor it is to uphold the tenets of Star Trek’s legacy while bringing it to audiences in a new era and on a contemporary platform.” It will certainly be interesting to see the shape that the new Star Trek series will take when it makes its move to an online streaming platform. But given the fact that Roddenberry has served in the past as a consulting producer on the fan-made web series Star Trek: New Voyages, in addition to directing the 2011 documentary about the franchise’s lasting impact, Trek Nation, the move from basic cable to the Internet should be a smooth and lucrative one for all parties involved.
