What I want to know is what possessed Shatner to do this. The answer may be in a trivia book somewhere:

Family guy version:
Definitely agree. Exceptional episode.Good stuff. BTW, City on the Edge of Forever is, I think, 60 of the best minutes of television of all time.
They mention that their budget was so low that they had to have them made in "sweat shops" which may have just been someone's term for a non-union shop and snuck them into the set. Makes sense that they'd shrink like mad.In the trivia; do they happen to mention anything about the infamous Velour tunics that shrank so bad the first time they were washed they could have been worn by the puppets from “Thunderbirds”?
Harlan Ellison has published a book called "City on the Edge of Forever" that includes not only his original screenplay, but also the various changes that had been made, and that were proposed for the script.In the trivia; do they happen to mention anything about the infamous Velour tunics that shrank so bad the first time they were washed they could have been worn by the puppets from Thunderbirds?
Is it mentioned about how the Enterprise model was hung upside-down in the meeting where Rodenberry was pitching the show to Desilu Studio executives?
And while we all agree that City on the Edge of Forever was one of the best episodes of STTOS Harlan Ellison, the writer of said episode, still had nothing good to say about it.
Definitely agree. Exceptional episode.

It amazes me how, even today, when computers are household items, TV shows and movies still try to present "supercomputers" as having lots of multi-colored, blinking lights on them. I think the set designers of today spent too much time watching Star Trek back in the day. :wink: They did it on Person of Interest last year, which is normally a pretty intelligent show.

A 5 issue comic book adaptation of the screenplay is currently underway from IDW.
