I thought the theme to the orginal show did not have any words. :\

Eeeewwww!!! I need an upchucking emoticon.

Another good reason to avoid the Emmys.

Well, it did have that odd vocal sound that rolled up and down. So maybe he's going to get up and go "OOOOOOoooIIIIIiiiEEEEooooOOEEEEUUUUuuuIIIiiOOuuuuuOOOOOO..."

William Shatner rules!

Seriously, I have a lot of respect for somebody who can poke so much fun at himself with a straight face.

And, yes, the theme had words written for it, but they weren't included in the show.

Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

...the theme had words written for it...

Blast! I was really hoping for "OOOOOOoooIIIIIiiiEEEEooooOOEEEEUUUUuuuIIIiiOOuuuuu OOOOOO..."

Hmmmm. Maybe it's like Buck Rogers - the pilot for the show had words for the theme song, but they dropped that for the show itself?

He'll find a way.

 

[Mystery Man]

Shatner is hilarious.

Oh and by the way...

Awesome! That will actually get me to watch the Emmys. At least that part.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I just didn't "get" Shatner until Free Enterprise, and I "got" him even more in Boston Legal.

I now totally dig him.
