Happy Birthday, Bill!
-Wow…happy birthay…Bill…!!!
Happy Birthday Bill!!!
Happy birthday!
And isn’t that clip with Nimoy just great :)
“Sto lat, sto lat, niech żyje, żyje nam!” from Polish trekkies ;)
The happiest of birthdays to you, Mr. Shatner!
Happy Birthday Bill.
You would think with all the great talent involved with this new movie project. There just has to be some small meaningful way to involve Bill in this movie without ruining it. JJ I just read 77 good reasons why you should at least perhaps try a little bit harder.
77 and still going strong, as a pitchman he’s entertaining and second to none. He does drama pretty well and the man flair for cokmedy. A fews back he did wonderful parody of the David Fincher film 7 and he was off the wall funny,then of course there was his laugh out loud role in the less then funny sequel Airplane which I believe had a Star Trek Sight gag in it. Lest we forget the Immortal words “Denny Crane” . Then there is that wonderful historical show that he narrated back in the 1970 called This was America. This man has done everything it seems except run for the white house, President Shatner HM, no I wont go there.Love him or hate him but he’s alway entertaining and the world would be the Poorer for not having known him. I hope he still doing these things on his 100th birthday
What? As if you could only find 77 reasons!
How about: “I’m Captain Kirk…I’m Captain Kirk”
It was FUN!
I’ve said it before and will do so here again… I hope to be as active and in as good health as Mr. Shatner is when I am 77 (I’ve only 27 years to go)!
Anthony, you left out that he was the co-star in the TV movie ‘The People’ with Kim Darby (also known to us TREK fans as ‘Miri’). it was a cool science fiction/fantasy film that no one seems to remember (but should).
Happy Birthday, Bill!!!!
Awesome list. Love #2.
Hadn’t heard about the bear hunt (real!). I just did a Google search on it, and found this posting from someone who remembered watching the episode:
“I remember William Shatner bow hunting brown bear in Alaska. He shot one, it ran into an alder thicket, and Captain Kirk goes running off through the thicket without his phaser. I thought that a bit stupid, but they found the bear dead.”
So not only did Shatner kill the bear with an arrow, he chased it into the brush *unarmed.*
Happy Birthday Bill !!!
What a great man! I love that he lives his life fully and just keeps on going. He’s not afraid to try anything–good example to live by.
Happy 77th birthday and here’s to many, many more.
That was great…and don’t forget, first actor to curse on TV – “Let’s get the hell out of here”.
Happy Birthday Bill! Many, many more!
Bill, have a really happy birthday an we hope you have many, MANY more! I may be a Picard guy, but you’re irreplaceble!
Happy Birthday Bill! I’m such a big fan, I make sure my daughter was born on your birthday!! Naaa, that was an accident, but a cool one!
Oh, and you forgot a 78th point.. Worked with Heather Locklear!
Happy Birthday Bill – And many more!
Have a great day – may the coming year be a healthy one and may you have every success in whatever you do!
Great work guys – a truly stirring, amusing, and inspiring list! :)
Oh, and that clip with Nimoy…is.utterly.wonderful.
Not meaning to get too emotional, but you GOTTAWATCHIT, folks!
You forgot to mention that he paintballs!! PAINTBALLS!! Which is a very intense sport, which he does at an “old” age!!
With the Enterprise’s delta badge on his paintball suit, no less!!
THE SHAT IS KING!! Thanks for making this entry. :D
I want to have bill’s kids if only i had a womb.
How about for reason 78 next year:
Appaering once again as Captain James T. Kirk.
There is still time!
Thank God we still have the Shat with us. May he live and contribute for many years to come. We would all be doing something else now but for him. Who else could have carried TOS?
Great list for a great guy. Happy Birthday Bill.
Hippy Birfff day Bill!
Long live the Shat! :D
#38 is incorrect – Incubus was the second:

Hooray for Shatner! =D
not related, but found some spy pics

Happy Birthday Bill Live a bit longer and keep on prospering.
Happy Birthday Bill! You are incredible!
and of course…MANY HAPPY RETURNS TO THE SHATMAN
Happy Birthday Bill!
Does anyone know where I can get a high-res copy of the “CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK – I’m sorry… I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.” poster? I would love to print that out and hang it up… :)
Best I can find is 684X504…
Alternatively, a high-res copy of the picture from that poster? It’s the same picture as in the body of this article…
Thanks,
John
Happy Birthday, Shat-Man! And may you live long and prosper!
Happy birthday, Bill!
#28. number 3 — old news, lad :)
Happy Birthday from a fellow Canadian. I Met you in 1974 in St. Catharines Ontario when I was 8. You were advertising for Lowblaws groceries at that time and had an autograph signing in one of their stores. Star trek was just starting in reruns but that was my first time seeing them and I was an instant fan of the show and yours. You were full of energy that day and greeted me openly. We chatted briefly about school, girls and my home town of Niagara Falls. Your autograph still hangs on my wall. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Mr Shatner!
Happy Birthday, Bill. Proud to be a fellow Montrealer!
That’s a hell of a list, but i can’t believe you guys left off the real reason Shatner is awesome: He played Captain Kirk in the hit show Star Trek.
That’s actually not on the list, and no, it’s not a given.
Best wishes to Bill
Happy Birthday, Bill. From your distant cousin, now in Toronto.
Without reading the list, I’ve always said he was awesome.
Happy Birthday Shat. I still find it hard to believe he’s a total vegetarian though.
14. Two words: Kirk-fu (or is that one word?)
And no, it’s two.
Happy Birthday Bill! And many more!
Happy birthday Bill, I want hair just like yours someday.
Go for another 77! Happy Birthday, Bill!
Long live Shatner!
Even at 77 he’s still more active then most people are at 40.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy will never die, it’s just impossible.
41. Was guest photographer for Playboy
And you get that gig, how exactly? Happy Birthday anyway.
Happy Birthday William Shatner!!
The most iconic TV actor of all time.
Happy… Birthday…. to… the Shat!
Happy 77th to The Shat!
Shat enriches every production he’s in & despite propaganda from some bitter former co-stars, there is no actor more generous to his fellow thespians than Bill.
Most importantly, Shat gave birth & in the artistic sense, is the true creator of Captain James T. Kirk.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner—-I salute you, Captain!
Bill is the greatest of all time. And no, he will NEVER die.
Long Live The Shat!
Happy Birthday!
well the first one was editied..I try again, Happy birthday, Bill
Happy Birthday Bill,
from one of your many admirers in Australia
Happy Birthday Dad !!!!!!
Another reason…
Buddies with Adam West.
I remember seeing the “My Way” when it was broadcast, and thinking how easy it is for Trek to trump Wars :) A whole room of Star Wars, and the most memorable thing about the entire show was the performance by the lead Trek actor. Gotta love it!

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Bill!

The MTV awards! One of the best parodies ever! And far too good to not be included here.

To quote your hero:
“He’s nothing, if not consistent!”
I know you can’t hear us over the sound of how awesome you are, but happy birthday, Bill! Keep being awesome! :-) :-)
Peace. Live long and prosper.
The Vulcanista }:-|
I should have said, ‘To paraphrase’. Doh!
Happy Birthday, William Shatner! Did you get my card?
I got you the same shirt you got me, now we can go out as twins!
Happy Birthday Bill! You are the Shat!
#38
My first thought when reading the list was “ok, goes without saying”, but now that you’ve mentioned it I think you’re d*mn right!
Here’s to the original and authentic Captain Kirk!
Reason 49:
The climax of said movie continues to inspire me. It’s right up there with the Burning Bush sequence from The Ten Commandments in terms of an inspired artistic presentation of the Supreme Being.
For that I will be eternally grateful.
Happy Birthday William Shatner!!
#69—-What??????? Are you kidding?
I’m all for wishing the original Captain Kirk a happy birthday (and many more to come), but good grief.
Any notion that The Great Trek Turd (aka STV) is right up there with The Ten Commandments in terms of anything is a bit over the top, to say the least…Let’s keep a little perspective here, please.
Joyeaux Anniversaire!
An incredibly Happy Birthday to you!
:)
T.’.
William Tiberius Shatner;
“Risk is our business!”
Happy birthday!
Too too funny. Excellent article.
The Shatner is a Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50. I Love My Moogie – March 22, 2008
Most importantly, Shat gave birth & in the artistic sense, is the true creator of Captain James T. Kirk.
Amen! My own love for Trek is heavily, heavily as a result of William Shatner’s Kirk. I can think of no other actor who has created a character so convinvingly and effortlessly his own as the Shat Man has with Kirk.
Excellent list. . . and I love that the biggest reason of all is assumed & never actually stated:
“Played original slammin’ Kirk on original slammin’ Star Trek.”
Happy B-day to one of the coolest fellows, like, ever.
77th hahaha happy birthda shatner star trek v rules so much im going to set up a face book page in its honour!!
Jumpin’ catfish! I finally watched that Shatner/Nimoy friendship video.
Anthony, you should have a permanent link to that on the site. I thought for a second that Nimoy might shed a tear at the end of that. What a great testament to friendship. Maybe that is William Shatner’s best birthday gift.
( I have somehow manged to type “that” four times. That’s lame. D’oh! Five!)
С Днем рождения, мистер Шатнер!
Happy Birthday Mister Shatner!
Geez, those “Twilight Zone” episodes are powerful. And I didn’t know Bill was a fellow vegetarian! Another reason to love the guy.
Anyone ever hear the audio outtakes of a commercial recording session where Bill is less than cordial to the producer? Howard Stern plays them from time to time, and they are a riot.
*EGH*
A lot of people looked up to characters in Star Trek, sometimes almost like a parent. For a lot of people it was Spock, but Kirk was always my hero, and I even like Shatner too.
It’s great to hear he’s doing so well. Happy 77th birthday!
Shat covering Pulp should be in here somewhere too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eISBTBwWKeE
Mr. Shatner, you are THE MAN!! I wish at that age I could be just as energetic and embrace life as you do!!
Happy Birthday, Bill!!!
Happy Birthday Bill!
I have never met you, but I love and respect you and your work.
The world is simply better off with William Shatner in it!
Happy birthday, Bill, from your ever-lovin’ Butt Girls (who are so! proud! to have made the list!!!!!!!)–#53
Wonder if Shatner is going to help promote promote the new Trek film, that would be kind of cool.
Happy Birthday, Shatner!
Happy Birthday Bill. The fact that you are so incredibly active at this stage in your life is an inspiration to us all. And… you will always be THE Captain Kirk… no matter how many different actors play the character over the next millenium. Enjoy your 77th, and here’s to at least 77 more!!
SHAT RULES!
I can’t believe Shatner’s rendition of COMMON PEOPLE is not listed:

Great to have you with us, Ladies! Awesome podcast – and keep up the ever-inspiring Kirk/Brandt, Jungle Kitty!
The man is a god! I watched him so much as a kid that now as a goalie in football (soccer) i have the my nickname. Just nice to be mentioned in the same breath!!!!!!
God Bless ya, Bill! and I am even more proud to be Canadian because of people like you.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner. It is obvious from the added bits here that we could do the 100 things that make Shatner awesome easily. :)
And more still.
Keep the Shat coming sir!
A very happy birthday to you, Captain.
kg
William Shatner… at 77, he is still my hero, and will be for the rest of my life. Happy Birthday Bill!
Happy Birthday, Bill! May you continue to boldly go where you’ve gone before: continue to be a celebrity!
How could they miss my favorite Shatner feature–those amazing, changing eyes??! When he wore the gold uniform, they looked tawny. When he wore the green wrap around, they were hazel green, but never more so than when he wore that red and green number from What Are Little Girls Made Of. The green really glowed.
My one wish in life is to see Mr. Shatner live, up close, eyeball to eyeball, just to see for myself.
Happy Birthday, Bill!! I hope you’re having a cracking birthday today!
#98 totally agree!!!
Happy Birthday Bill!
All my hopes for many more to come. Keep on riding!
Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner
happy birthday mr shatner. your are our beloved capt kirk and always will be. sorry chris pine, i am looking forward to your version but you understand that this guy has played our hero for 40 years. we love you bill. from everyone on the United Kingdom.

SHATNER IS STAR TREK. It is a complete and total waste if he is not included in this film. This is sci-fi anything can happen.
The thought of Star Trek XI without William Shatner is depressing and totally unwarranted.
If Shatner wants in and the writers, director/producer supposedly want him in. Why can’t they get it done? Surely they are creative enough (especially in a film that jumps time lines + alt universes) to get the Shat in this film somehow.
Happy 77th Mr Shatner. Star Trek XI will not be complete without you as Captain Kirk.
ps: I still say there is a chance William Shatner is the surprise ending of this film.
” I told them (J.J. Abrams + co.)the film would be better if William Shatner is in it”

Happy Birthday Bill!
The adventure continues…
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner!! You are and have been an inspiration in so many ways!

#106: ” I told them (J.J. Abrams + co.)the film would be better if William Shatner is in it – Leonard Nimoy”
Nimoy confirms STXI is clearly inferior to what it could be if JJ had cast Shat. Don’t worry, Bill—-no one will be fooled by Chris Pine, you’re our captain!
Happy birthday to THE captain of the Emterprise! Best wishes Mr. Shatner!
Happy Birthday, Bill!! And MANY more…
Happy Birthday Bill!!!!!
TOS-R on TV tonight to celebrate *w00t*
Kingdom of the Spiders is hilariously hokey. I love it.
Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner!!!
AS I’M SURE MANY HAVE ALREADY STATED…
…if… IF… Shatner does indeed pop-up in STAR TREK XI, it’s pretty much a given that 1) they’ll shoot those scenes last if at all possible and 2) we won’t hear about it until a few weeks before TREK XI’s release (’cause good luck trying to keep that a secret up until the last minute).
Point being: It’s still possible. It wouldn’t affect my desire to see TREK XI one iota if he’s NOT in it, but c’mon… news of Shatner officially appearing in TREK ‘08 is going to be HUGE, and would certainly bring a smile to my face.
Happy Birthday, ROCK! IT! MAN!
AND COULD I ALSO STATE FOR THE RECORD…
…I’m pretty sure I have a man-crush on William Shatner. And I’m not afraid to admit it.
Can’t we wish Bill a Happy Birthday without drudging up the ‘is he’ or ‘isn’t he’ arguement again?
Shatner sleeps with the light on, not because he’s afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of him!
Happy Birthday to the most famous/infamous captain of all-time – I cannot believe he is a fellow vegetarian. Also could have done without knowing that he enjoys hunting and killing animals – why exactly is that something for which he or anyone else should be commended? Really wish I could delete that info from my memorybanks.
Shat rules! Long live the Shat!
Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner.
Many Thanks for all of the adventures that you have given us over the years.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner! Thank you for what you do and have done with such joy and elan every day. May this year be your best yet.
Bill, you are the shat, and may you be blessed with 77 more.
And I wanna know how you did it. LOL
Technicaly the first interacial kiss was between Kirk and Miramanee….
She was American Indian…..
Paradise Syndrome aired before Plato’s Stepchildren…..where the so called “first interacial” kiss between Kirk and Uhura occurred…
Lucky Shat…Miramanee was HAWT….

………………….
He also stated that William Shatner was not in the movie and that the reason was that his character “was killed off like four movies ago.” When (Craig) Ferguson noted that he was killed off and brought back, Nimoy replied “I was resurrected immediately, he has been moldering for quite a while.”
This is an old subject and it’s been decided…months ago.
#124 AAL – just to rub your nose in it, my wife is half Cherokee……. :-)
Happy Birthday Shatner-san! WOOT!!!!!
Awesome!
Happy Birthday to William Tiberius Shatner!
I still think he should be in the new Star Trek movie!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Shatner.
And another reason he is awesome: He appeared with Leonard Nimoy in an episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. about 2 years before Trek debuted. (Plus he and Nimoy autographed a photo for me at the last convention I went to in Las Vegas.)
I was having a good time enjoying reading the list…
Until I hit number 7…
My innocence has been shattered.
moogie
one week ban for trolling…yet again
voodoo and others trying to derail this thread…warning and you should know better
Mr. Shatner – Here’s to the next 77, courtesy of the Nexus.
Happy Birthday, Shat.
He got a new hip, I got a new hip, probably about all we have in common in real life…..
He’s a vegetarian? Really?
He must eat loads of fried veggies……
Happy Birthday Mr Shatner! And many, many more to come!
I too think its desperately sad, indeed shocking, that they can’t work out a way to slot him in the new movie. But if its beyond the writers to work it out in an original way then there it is. Just a reflection on the writing talent I guess! :-P
Shatner was great when he was young, now he’s a joke.
Happy Birthday! =)

Time to let up.
Happy birthday Mr. Shatner! Greatest Captain of the Galaxy…
Greetings from Turkey!
^^
Shatner will be long remembered, and his detractors will be long dead.
Happy (belated) birthday, Bill– I’ll do shots of Saurian Brandy with you any time!
How could you guys forget ::: World Renound C*cksman from the list.
Not only the characters he played who outplaya’ed James Bond and Warren Beatty with the ladies but in real life. Shatner bed some of the most amazingly lovely women in the world!!!! And allegedly Heather Locklear as well !!!! Come on guys Shatner’s little Bill should be Bronzed and put in The Smithsonian !!!
Once again Happy Birthday Dad !!!!!!
Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner!
Greetings from the Czech Republic…
Happy Birthday Mr. Shatner – thank you for the decades of entertainment…wishing you many many more.
Glad the family could read that award you gave “little Bill”
Thanks so much.
comment was made to #141 Lord Garth.
I also wish you a Happy 77th Birthday, Mr. Shatner! (Although I’m a little bit too late…) I’ve admired you since I’ve been 12 years old and I guess I always will for the rest of my life.
I wish you health and all the best for you and your family.
And there’s something else I wanted to say: I find it so sad that so many people, hidden behind the anonymity of the Internet, are saying such mean and disrespectful things about you. But I guess, if someone wants to hate a person, he’ll find a reason…

“Shatner will be long remembered, and his detractors will be long dead.”
Well said!
Happy Birthday Bill from everyone at Star Trek: The Experience we love ya!!!!
‘Shatner will be long remembered, and his detractors will be dead’ -not to mention his admirers
Shatner doesn’t sleep, he waits.
and to prove once and for all his awesomness:
http://www.pollsb.com/polls/poll/7732/the-ultimate-question-once-and-for-all-kirk-or-picard
Great list, but I’d say the #1 reason should be: He’s F*cking James Tiberius Kirk!
¡¡¡ Feliz Cunpleaños Bill Shatner !!!
Too bad Abrams wasn’t bright enough to see how awesome Shatner is. It’s a real downer.
#20 “Not meaning to get too emotional, but you GOTTAWATCHIT, folks!”
I absolutely agree. I own that DVD, and I admit that my eyes got a little moist watching that scene. The apparent love and the chemistry between the two, only more poignant as the years go by, is the reason so many were hoping for a last chance to see them perform together.
#140 … I’m glad to see you sticking around. I quite enjoy your posts!
Great thread, Trekmovie.com!

Why does the thread have to be about slamming others?
He should appear on Star Trek Phase II as Captain James T.Kirk
Bring back REAL Kirk, J.J. !

I really love the man…!! Shatner RULES…!!

Well, it is fine, but think about additional choices we have here? Would you mind crafting one more post regarding all of them also? Thanks!
