Star Trek is “the most successful failure in history” because no one watched it, and it was canceled before it became popular in 170 countries

So, I was looking into the history of Star Trek the other day, and it’s kinda interesting. The very first show came out way back in 1966 on NBC. It started off pretty well, but apparently things went downhill fast – viewership started dropping around the fourth episode! I read on Slashfilm that it might have been because the show was just a bit too different, too smart, or maybe even *too* thought-provoking for what people were used to back then.
