)I think the Galileo Seven, in sydication around 1986.
"The Naked Time"- I was about 5 years old and my family was at my grandparents' house. I was channel-surfing when I flipped past the iconic image of Sulu wielding his fencing sword. My mom said something to the effect of, "Oh, dad and I used to watch this," so I tuned in for a bit...and that was my first mistake. 
Though, having long since figured out I was gay, one wonders whether I was just into the shirtless guy running around a spaceship.

My introduction to Trek was Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, when I rented the video circa 1987. I think the first television episode I watched was "Encounter at Farpoint" when it premiered.
The first episode I ever saw was This Side of Paradise . It was in the early 80's when I was a boy, I was ill in bed, and had a wee portible telly in my room.
I was scunnered because it was a lovely bright summers night, and my pals were all out playing football and I was stuck in my room. But my dad, who knew I loved all things to do with space, brought in the wee TV and told me a space show was about to start- Star Trek! I was instantly hooked! :thumbsup:
Of corse, at that age you drift away from thing very quickly, and although I loved the Trek films, I never saw another episode unil I was a teenager. That episode was the much hyped launch of TNG- Encounter at Farpoint . Although I must confess, it was not until season 3 of TNG that I was a devoted fan.

It was probably "The Chase" when it first aired on BBC but I'm not entirely sure.
The Gamesters of Triskelion
Saw it some time during the early '80s. Not sure what channel it was.

A Time To Stand.
The Doomsday Machine.
hard to say an episode, first experience as a kid was 'The Voyage Home', i ignore any negative comments about it, you can't beat one of the first scifi/fantasy experiences with 'problems with canon'.
episode, would probably be one of TNG my flatmate was watching. i absolutely hated it then.

The Doomsday Machine, presumably the original airing. I was 5 and at someone elses houes.. my mother was occupied. It scared the crap out of me!! The music "dum dum--dum dum", the maw of the monstrous turd machine.. terrifying.
It would have been on WPIX in NYC. (Ch 11)
