Blooper reels compilation

[Maab]

OK, for those interested here it is.
All the TOS blooper reels, complete, collected in a single video.

There are 4 different blooper reels made during the series production, and they have some repetitions, so it was a little confusing at first. However here is what you'll find:

1. Reel 0: excerpt from the "Star Trek 25th Anniversary Special", better quality. Includes scenes from reels 1-2-3-4.

2. Reel 1: first part of the first season, probably made for Christmas holiday's party.

3. Reel 2: full first season, includes scenes from reel 1 and the happy birthday video for Roddenberry's wife Eileen at the end.

4. Reel 3: second season.

5. Reel 4: third season, includes scenes from reels 1 and 3.

6. Reel 5: compilation of reel 1-2-3 with better quality, released on VHS within the documentary "Forty Years of Science Fiction Television Featuring: Star Trek".

Despite the fact that I looked for the better quality among several sources, the overall quality is still quite bad, but it's either this or nothing.

Among the other interesting things to be found in the blooper reels, there are at least two deleted scenes for being too "hot": the assault scene to Janice Rand from the episode "The Enemy Within" (they used a different, less "leggy" shot) and the bath scene of Nona from "A Private Little War".

Enjoy.

So that Nona scene must be the one mentioned in the Solow and Justman book?

I couldn't say, I don't remember. I've read the book too long ago.

^Yes, that's the one.

Apparently they only shot her topless as a bargaining chip, as something they didn't mind giving up when the network censor hit them with a list of demands.

Yup. Some movie did the same thing with the MPAA awhile back - only they added a bunch of ridiculous violence. Can't remember which movie though.

Tex Avery used to do that. He'd put really vulgar jokes into his cartoon storyboards so the censors would zero in on those and ignore the jokes he really wanted to get in.

^ Looked like a lot of them made it through, anyway.
