Live Long and Prosper

The short-running Star Trek series with Kirk and Mr. Spock was before my time, but I got into it by way of reruns 30 years after its original airing. It was campy 1960s space drama, but the underlying philosophical considerations and deadpan analysis by Leonard Nimoy's character were more than enough to make me a lifelong fan.
