Star Trek promised a bold future for humanity—but behind the scenes, NBC was reportedly losing sleep over something far less cosmic: women’s uniforms.
In this Trek World episode, Jim looks at the funny and revealing battle over the original Star Trek miniskirts, Bill Theiss’s futuristic costume design, Gene Roddenberry’s boundary-pushing vision, and the 1960s network standards that worried prime time might collapse under the weight of visible knees.
It’s a story about fashion, censorship, culture, television production, and how one of Star Trek’s most recognizable images survived nervous executives to become part of sci-fi history.
