Viacom, Paramount & CBS O My, or How 3 Corps & 2 People Messed Up ST for 40+ years Part 1, Ep 0011
This is part 1 of 3 wherein I discuss how Star Trek was driven into a bad place by corporate divestures, splits and merges and by the either deliberate malice or unintended mismanagement of two men. That began in 1993 and I do not think that it will be course corrected for almost 10 to 15 more years.
