Best Answer

The original series -- which appears very dated now -- was popular with some of its fans because the stories dealt with more interesting moral issues than the formulaic TV shows of the time. Many people also liked its generally optimistic take on the future. The character of Spock attracted many because of his "cool." Pretty girls showing lots of leg (for the time) didn't hurt either. The show, actually, wasn't tremendously popular with the general public. Its low Nielsen ratings led to its cancellation after three seasons.
