Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

To fans, they were the Great Bird of the Galaxy and the First Lady of Star Trek. To their friends and co-workers, Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry were, perhaps, slightly less mythic figures with their own very human quirks, but still beloved and admired. In this panel from the TrekTalks 5 telethon in support of the Hollywood Food Coalition, Gene and Majel are remembered by those who knew them.

Podcast hosted by Earl Green & Ashley Thomas TrekTalks panel hosted by John Champion Panel guests: Fred Bronson, Denise Crosby, Ernie Over, Rod Roddenberry

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

It features Lee Marvin in front of a high-tech viewscreen, but this is no starship - Gene-ology opens its investigation into a very unusual foray into "true crime" with Gene Roddenberry adapting the particulars of a notorious Seattle murder case into dramatic form. It's also a career milestone for Gene: the last script he would write for a show that he didn't also create.

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

With his own show just months away from launching, Gene Roddenberry racks up one last rodeo, so to speak - his final script for a TV western, and a fairly prestigious one at that, with famous faces and a message or two along for the ride with The Virginian.

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

One sweltering day in Hell's Kitchen in the 1930s. One policeman. Five wanted men. Five bullets left. And no one in the crowd who wants to help call for backup. Gene Roddenberry collaborated on a single episode of the anthology series G.E. True in 1962, and it's a half-hour powderkeg of true-crime dramatic tension.

There are a million stories in the Naked City, and Gene Roddenberry told just one of them - but it was an unusual specimen for 1962 prime time, a story that decisively put women, including some with future involvement in Star Trek, at the forefront of a complex, challenging story.

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

Is this the best television script Gene Roddenberry wrote prior to creating Star Trek? Gene's singular episode of the popular medical drama Dr. Kildare is a powerful story full of rich characters and raw emotions - the bedrock of great television drama.

Target: The Corruptors! was a short-lived crime drama that unfolded from the perspective of an ace newspaper reporter. Gene turned in a single script that was significantly altered prior to broadcast, resulting in him receiving only a story credit. Find out what happens in both versions of "To Wear A Badge".

Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

Gene steps up to the pilot plate once again with a script closer to home than any of his westerns: a script about World War II with a former pilot who served in World War II. Despite writing what he knew, "A.P.O. 923" somehow fell short.

You can watch the A.P.O. 923 pilot, recovered and preserved by Jeff "Sabucat" Joseph at his YouTube channel.

Gene Roddenberry wrote more episodes of Have Gun - Will Travel than the people who created the show, and his streak ends here, just weeks away from the end of the show. Paladin knows quite a bit about art, and he knows what he likes, but does he like settling an old grudge between "The Savages"?
