I can recall seeing this on Nickelodeon when I was young. Because it was about the time when the third Star Trek film installment hit the Silver Screen and well before I came to appreciate and enjoy that franchise, I was probably too young to properly appreciate this series or Leonard Nimoy. Growing up, my sister, brother and I watched The Secret of NIMH very frequently. I didn't know what it was about that film which was so inately classic, until I grew up and learned that it was assembled by a whole team of disaffected Disney animators that wanted to continue working in that classic style. As I write this comment in May 2022, I often wonder whether there are still individuals out there still devoted to the traditional method of animation which involves drawing one frame at a time and then photographing it. It's easy to imagine that many people are less attracted over the long term to the computer-generated Pixar method than they are to the traditional one-cell method. Nothing says that more clearly to me than the notion that my niece who will be 16 in September 2022 grew up watching classic Disney features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and appreciates them at least as much as anything recent from the company.
I enjoyed this series as a kid! Especially, how the host broke the fourth wall (with a neck pinch before commercial break) featuring the making of "Trek III." Looking back, it was "In Search of..." for a younger audience.
@@BenjaminBowling777 Thanks. I liked it too. Mostly because it was at the time I was in the Navy and had my first apt. with off base housing. The simple beautiful days of basic cable. HBO, Nickelodeon, and MTV straight into your TV set. No box required.
@@brianoconnell6459 the only three songs from the sound track are the 3 cheap trick songs, which they included on their box set in 96. Born to Raise Hell is amazing as I remember and that song Ohm Sweet Ohm, the same song, but done as an overly sweet. If I remember, it was after the band was manipulated by Mox and their angry sound was taken away from them. It's actually pretty good and with a peddle steel, it would sound even better.
it seems like a lot of the 80 s nick shows are very rare and hard to find i would think people that saw this stuff on nick they could record the shows for others to watch
I think VHS's were just starting to gain popularity at the time and were pretty expensive, so many people either didn't have a way to record shows or didn't feel it was worth recording unfortunately.

I remember how much I loved watching this show. I know it was on weekend mornings, but I can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday
It was on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons. I used to watch it with my Dad. He really liked the show.

i remember this show being on at 6am eastern and later on mr wizard came on in its place starting 1992 -1999
That was fantastic. Thank you so much.
Thank you, it was fun seeing all of those together like that with the commercials. :)
Thank you so very much. I adored this show.
Leonard Nimoy was a great actor but was in his element as himself hosting shows like In Search Of and This.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy.
I remember he did a segment on the animated movie Rock and Rule. Does anyone remember that?
Yeah, I watched it in 82 or so, wish I could find the original episode, since apparently the movie is making kind of a comeback.
