What episodes do you most remember from watching Star Trek as a kid?

It was either Arena or Shore Leave. I was hooked on TOS from that millisecond on!

My first episode was "The Cloud Minders." I vividly remember seeing that as a boy. It made quite an impression!

My favorites to watch growing up were

"The Doomsday Machine"
"The Menagerie"
"Arena"
"The City on the Edge of Forever"
"Journey to Babel"

"The Man Trap" - on the show's NBC premiere, I was there. I wasn't sure if I liked the series or not, but it was science fiction and I found that at least was appealing. I thought the crew, as presented in that episode seemed too big, and it was somewhat hard to grab onto which characters were important. At that point in time, no-one was familiar with a Kirk, or a Spock, or Vulcans, or what the size of the ship was and who they represented. All of that was to come with later familiarity.

I thought it was way better than Lost in Space that was airing on CBS. I watched them both, but liked Star Trek better.

This was the model of RCA Victor color TV my dad purchased in the early 1960s. My father was also Red/Green color-blind. The set cost about the same as a new car. But at least I got to watch Star Trek in color.

Pretty much all of them, grew up watching TOS reruns with my dad which is what made me a fan. Can't really remember the first time I saw any of them because I've seen them so many times.

Beautifully crafted walnut cabinet. The legs matched the sofa and love seat legs of my parent's 1960s post-modern living room furniture, purchased around the same time as the TV.
