===Home media=== Episodes of the ''Original Series'' were among the first television series to be released on the VHS and [[laserdisc]] formats in North America. The first episode on VHS for sale to the public was ''[[Space Seed]]'' released in June 1982 (to celebrate the release of the second Star Trek film, The Wrath of Khan) at a price of $29.95, as prior to this titles were rental only.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.startrek.com/article/space-seed-khan-forever-changed-vhs-releases|title="Space Seed," Khan Forever Changed VHS Releases|website=startrek.com|date=February 2018 |language=en|access-date=July 4, 2019|archive-date=July 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190704132922/https://www.startrek.com/article/space-seed-khan-forever-changed-vhs-releases|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1985, the first 10 episodes went on sale on video at a price of $14.95 with further batches of 10 during 1985 and 1986, making it the first long-running TV series to be released on [[home video]] in its entirety,<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Daily Variety]]|page=1|title=Par Home Vid Cutting Prices on 'Trek' Tapes|date=December 21, 1984}}</ref> with all episodes eventually being released on both formats.

In the early 2000s, Paramount Home Video reissued the series to DVD in a series of three deluxe season boxes with added featurettes and documentaries. In February 2009 CBS and Paramount announced that they would release the Original Series on Blu-ray. Season one, two, and three were released on April 28, September 22, and December 15, respectively. The Blu-ray releases let the user choose between "Enhanced Effects" or "Original Effects" via a technique called [[multi-angle]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001S3GDTU/brhdpb-21 |title=Star Trek β The Original Series β Series 1 β Complete β Remastered [Blu-ray] [1966]: Amazon.co.uk: DVD |date=April 27, 2009 |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |access-date=May 23, 2009 |archive-date=November 6, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151106202853/http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001S3GDTU/brhdpb-21 |url-status=live }}</ref> All 79 episodes of the series have been digitally remastered by [[CBS Home Entertainment]] (distributed by [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]) and have since been released on DVD.
