Star Trek: The Animated Series is a great example of a show being able overcome a low budget and some bad to voice acting to become an excellent sci-fi show. The Animated Series was a continuity to the original series but has been considered non-canon which was a shame because some of the episodes in the original series. Some of the best were "Yesteryear", "One of Our Planets is Missing", "The Slaver Weapon", "The Jihad" and "The Counter-Clock Incident." These were episodes that handled moral issues, had sci-fi concepts and adventures. Due to the series being animated it didn't have the restrictions of the '60s show because they could actually make aliens and environments look well, alien. It was quite daring for a Saturday Morning Cartoon because it was willing to into darker territory and explore deep issues.
