Soon and Very Soon?

As we fans learned in the Great Drought between TOS and TMP, hopes for a revival of Star Trek were easily raised and just as swiftly dashed.  Vide these two articles from the Tulsa World.
The above is from February 20, 1977.
And the second clipping is from May 22, 1977.

With such a hurry-up-and-wait environment, no wonder, when Star Trek: The Motion Picture finally opened on December 7, 1979, many of us said, "I've waited ten years for this movie!"

See you on Monday!

STAR TREK Conquers the World!

In syndication, at least ...
That's what we learned from the March 20, 1983 News-Leader from Springfield, MO, where my sister and her family lived at the time.  She was sweet enough to clip and forward the articled to me.  Thanks, sis!

See you guys on Thursday.
