Hey, uh… Trekmovie Staff who wrote this:

Random question–where did you get the cast picture for this article? I’ve never seen that one before and I’d like to get it if possible.

“recognizes a long-standing program that made a lasting cultural or social impact.”

Only Star Trek has added new vocab to Websters dictionary..
words like warp drive and phaser etc…

Buffy gave us nothing….

Reminds me of Metallica printing up the “Grammy winners” posters, then when Jethro Tull actually won that year, Metallica quickly had to get them changed to “Grammy Losers”

Star Trek SHOULD win, but MASH is equally valid, in fact in some ways more so in the US.

but with Trek riding high, it does seem like its time, so I hope it wins :)

as to 9 and “I’ve never heard of The Wire” I think you should check it out, its a brilliant piece of contemporary drama and has won multiple awards.

Star Trek was on for three seasons and was canceled 40 years ago… and has impacted the world’s collective cultural psyche almost since day one.

The other shows were on for long periods of time and had an effect on pop culture, for sure… but Trek is different. It is more fundamental and elemental.

Star Trek deserves this award. Period.

#16-
I agree! I am a long time fan of Buffy, Angel et al, but to deem Buffy having more of an impact on society than Trek is beyond comprehension!
How much science and modern technology did Buffy inspire?
Not to mention the many scientists, astronauts etc. who credit their inspiration and LIVES to Trek.
If Trek does not win this, it is a laughable and meaningless award.
The fact it has not been nominated or won in SEVEN years does not speak much for this award to begin with.

I have to say, part of me wants M*A*S*H to win. I love it almost as much as Star Trek. Gah I hate being divided.
