Trekkies never understood that the whole thing was a sitcom. Look at the evidence
- a sexist, womanizing skipper chasing skirts irrespective of age or species
- a first officer with "straight man" stamped all over his face
- a grouchy(sic!) doctor whose diagnostic expertise consists of "[insert proper pronoun]'s dead, Jim", never missing an opportunity to wave his salt shaker in the general direction of his victims
- a crew comprising every ethnic stereotype known to western civilization
- the redshirt running gag
- last but not least a parody of the Soviet Union not even the CPSU took seriously
