Star Trek

A local store has "Star Trek" (The Animated Series) on DVD for about 28 dollars.  I'm considering buying it before it goes, but then there are 3 factors that are leaning me towards not getting it:

1.) I have Netflix, and TAS is on there. Also, its on this very site.  

2.) I love Blu-Ray and it might be released on the Blu-Ray format at some point.

3.) I've only seen "Yesteryear" and "The Infinite Vulcan", so I'm unsure about the quality of the other episodes, and I've heard conflicting accounts as to that from various people(s).

So even though I can already watch TAS right now from my computer, should I still get TAS on DVD? Are there enough bonus features to merit it, and is the show of quality equal to that of "Yesteryear" and "The Infinite Vulcan" in the other episodes?!?

Yes you should. The entire series, all 1.5 seasons of it, are included in one box and usually very reasonablely priced. So even if it's just to have it in your collection, it would be a good purchase.

I have all the planet of the apes franchise (movies,live action and animated series). I even have the Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch version, which absolutely sucked, just because it's a part of something I love over all.

Yes, do get it - i wouldn't bother waiting for Blu-ray - i can't see how it would improve the quality as TAS is from the 70s anyway

as said above there are some great episodes which add to the TOS world (i'll avoid using the word 'canon for fear of starting up the same old rows)

the ensemble cast get a chance to shine - eg Uhura, Sulu etc - and although the poorer episodes aren't much above the averge kids' cartoon, most of them are viewable by adults without one feeling embarrassed about it

Understandable.  Can you imagine if they had the "Yellow Submarine"-esque animation style? haha.

Both are good episodes though, specially with Uhura getting a part of the spotlight in the Shore Leave sequel.

Well, I'll be picking this up!!

I do loathe the tacky 70s version of the theme song in it though  

Yes.  But I do hate the tone of the instruments and how generic it all sounds, and this is coming from a singer/guitar player/pianist/songwriter who primarily loves music from the 60s and 70s!

I have TAS on DVD, and enjoy them. I previously had them all on vhs. 

And, the DVD set also has the DS9 'Trials and Tribble-ations', and TOS 'The Trouble with Tribbles' episodes - as bonus extras. 

I think thats on the TOS dvd remastered set.

I bought it a couple years ago and just started watching it and I have to say yes.  Buy it.  The animation is lame, and the dialogue isn't polished, but the stories are as good as tos.  Makes you wish they had been tos.

Yeah. I bought it and I'm enjoying it!

It is a shame Star Trek didn't just go on for two more seasons...

But everyone feels that way...(or should, anyway).

It's worth it! What a joy watching old-style animation. You'll hear Majel Barrett, Nichelle Nichols and James Doohan voicing various characters.

Yes. (But without that base, unfortunately.) 

Oh, you know what? Sorry. It's the TOS remastered boxset that has the tribbles episodes - of TOS, TAS and DS9. I just remembered now (while checking through the TAS disks.)
