Retirement.

Recovery.

Under da sea!

Gunsmoke had 635 episodes and seven TV movies, which is impressive.

Under 400 hours. About half of treks output.

my biggest criticism about star trek in general was always that its not enough sci fi. but its obviously because the lack of badget. what i mean by it is that alien races in the shows all act like humans, and (because of budget limitation) all humanoid with makeup. there isnt enough "wierd" like what would you expect from sci fi to be. that also true about different planets in the old shows who most of them look exactly like earth. the problem is that in a new coat of paint come together bad writing. because the writing of the old shows was clearly better

There is more to SF than Weird Aliens and Planets.
