I think respectfully what is being missed here is this.....
The original series was as cheesy as 10 year old true aged french (spit) blue cheese.
Representations of various aliens and monsters that Kirk and company did combat with took cheezy to an extreme.
Okay Kevin(and a few of you others here), so special effects have progressed a thousand-fold these past 40-plus years since the original "Star Trek" first was telecast thursday nights on NBC, and yes some, if not most of the action/fight scenes weren't exactly choreographed to precision either, HOWEVER to call that series "chessy" in the general sense is a VERY BIG misnomer, as that series was about MUCH MORE than special effects OR action scenes.
It was much MORE about the relationship between not only the crew members of the Starship Enterprise and the other inhabitants of the universe said crew might encounter along their travels, but it often touched upon the deeper questions in life.
(...and whenever that show ventured in that direction, which was often, it was seldomly "cheesy"!!!!!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
