Were there any cheap knock offs of TOS attempted back in the day? I feel like there must have been but I’m sure if there had been I would have heard of them by now.
Closest I can come up with is the space satire Quark. It was created by Buck Henry, who co-wrote Get Smart. The biggest problem with doing a Trek rip-off was that back in the day, any special effects were incredibly expensive.
Honestly I’d kinda love to see an MS3K episode of some old Trek
I think the best you’ll get is Rifftrax doing Trek movies and Trek fan episodes. https://www.rifftrax.com/collection/star-trek

It’s not very good. At least I don’t think so. It’s homophobic too.
Yes indeed.
