"One Small Step For Man"......

[nachoman]

. Every show was a lesson learned... some very interesting teachings for a Cold War nation....

In a recent program, Nichelle Nichols, said she had gone to Gene, and told him, "I know what you're doing, you're writing morality plays". He reportedly laughed and said,"don't tell anybody".
What ever he was doing, it became five TV series, and eleven (so far) motion pictures. There have been several "specials", and a huge auction of "memorabilia". The "franchise", has indeed boldly gone.
Live long, and prosper.

I think you will find this at least partially true about a lot of television shows or movies.
