With the new movie due out next week, Paramount is loading up the DVD release calendar with a bevy of fantastic new versions of classic Star Trek which could be a great way to introduce new fans to what came before. In particular, you might want to pick up The Best of Star Trek: The Original Series and The Best of Star Trek: The Next Generation for any newly converted fans in your household. Each DVD release four of the best episodes from each series. You can’t really overwatch “The Trouble With Tribbles” or “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. For more details on the release, click here.

To remind you of just how great those classic Trek’s were, below we have promotional clips from both “Best Of” DVD releases, showcasing some of what you’ll find them. Watch and remember the good old days when Kirk was still played by Shatner and Geordi still wore a visor.
