Discord: https://discord.gg/HsFXzA News Discover Music preview! US ONLY [clip] 2:22 Anovos Enterprise uniforms now available & shipping. $500. Two clips! Thoughts on CBSAA as we approach 9/24: Cuts out the middle-man. People are used to cable packages and such. Model is changing because….

Regular people work on the show, too. I want to see the show survive, and paying CBS will help. Trek fans cite “IDIC”, but “IDIC” falls apart when money is on the line.

News http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Animated_Series Shortly before Fontana's report, NBC had replaced its old Nielsen rating system with a new and updated one.
