<IMG SRC="/images/archivesart/tos3.jpg" WIDTH=200 BORDER=0 ALIGN=RIGHT>The third and final season of <i>Star Trek</i> is very hit or miss in its entertainment value. The show was nearly canceled after the second season due to low ratings, but NBC begrudgingly brought it back and placed it in the worst possible timeslot&#151;Friday night at 10pm. With the target demographic being young men, most had better things to do than to sit around the house and watch a science fiction show.
