Uh-huh.

No, that shows its a part of theater culture.
A few episodes of it certainly are.
Think on that statement.
Which ones?
Think on the exact words of what you're defending.
"Our Town is, for Americans, basic cultural literacy"
Far Beyond the Stars
You know, if anyone wants to wear ignorance as a badge, best get out of their way.They are hurt by your comments and luckily haven't reached a level of sentience to plot revenge.
But to be serious
Here's a quote from an article in the Oregonian in 2014
Too old? Here's one from 2025 published in conjunction with the Broadway revival.
A review of a Boston performance also from 2025
I think my rep as a level headed and occasionally funny poster is pretty sold. I'm downright lovable .
Powerful and emotional to be sure, but hardly high art.
What do you think culture is?
One of my favorites. Powerful. Well written and performed. But "High art?"
No. None are.
Nope.
I love some Trek so dearly it's a bit of a miracle I haven't decided to put those episodes and films in my will. But none of it is so high and mighty that it should be made some World Heritage Site.
What do you think the word "basic" means?
Hahahahahahahaha… oh, you’re serious. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Seriously, Star Trek is a lot of things. High art it is definitely not.
Even high art often isn't high art. 
I have it on good authority that Star Trek is only for sophisticated audience members.
Maybe it depends on how high you are.Even high art often isn't high art.
When I discovered that nothing I watched, read, played or cared about counted as 'high art' I realised that high art was entirely irrelevant to me. Give me the mid tier art any day.
Drinking half a bottle of Jack and watching Bob Ross does have a tingly feel.
Eh? Speak up sonny!
