TOS THIRD Season Bloopers

Wow. I'd seen some bloopers before, but not the ones in this reel. Must send the link to the husband. Thanks for posting it.

ABC ran a handful of the clips from this reel on an episode of "Foul-Ups, Bleeps, and Blunders" (a "Bloopers" rip-off show) back in the late '80s...Shatner guested with hosts Don Rickles and Steve Lawrence (!) to introduce it.

But they only ran about 2 mins of it...not the 9 mins here. Nice. BTW...every time I see the Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident" I automatically think of Bonnie. Is that intentional?

^ On her part, probably.

Hey, at least if I was going to let Spock trick me, I'd have got sex out of the deal first.

When exactly did Blooper reels start to be common pratice with TV shows and movies anyway cause it seems here that it's a unknown concept to show them as it shows that actors are just normal people who can make mistakes and can sometimes make a song and dance about said mistakes, much to our amusement of course.

I don't know for sure about reels, but I definitely recall seeing bloopers and outtakes at around the same time or before. One batch which comes to mind was of a series of blown takes from the police drama Adam-12 being shown on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In in 1972 when the show's two leads were guests, and I'm pretty sure I was seeing them from the Carol Burnett Show and others even earlier than that. It certainly wasn't unheard-of by the time of the 1968-69 season of Trek.
