William Shatner was a great sport about playing improv on The Tony Danza Show this past Monday, as his host indulged the geekdom daydream of going into space battle at the side of Captain James T. Kirk.
Denny Crane!
The audience chimed with audible letdown upon learning that Leonard Nimoy had declined an offer to appear on BOSTON LEGAL. "Lennie is my dear friend," said Shatner, sharing everyone's disappointment, but empathizing with Nimoy's decision to remain in retirement from the demands of acting for television.
While attired in a gold jersey from the Original Series era, and firmly planted in a faux bridge chair, Danza boldly went where no talk-show host had queried William Shatner before: "What's going to happen with STAR TREK?"
"I'm writing a couple of books on the adolescent Captain Kirk-Spock thing," replied Shatner," as an idea for CBS, [or] whatever station is going to... Paramount... to use as the next series of STAR TREK."
An enterprising proposition from a singular Trekdom icon, and a possible framework for a renaissance.
"Who would play young Kirk?", probed Danza. "I thought, 'If I got some Botox...'", dodges Shatner, puckering his cheeks.
The dynamic Shatner-Danza duo culminate their meeting with a comedic skit that hits the Trekkie sweet-spot, complete with a hapless Red Shirt. Some things may never grow too old.
A video clip of Shatner's comments about STAR TREK, plus the opening and closing skits, is at VRRRM.
"They meet and have no fondness for each other," Shatner told the Edmonton Sun about young Kirk and Spock. "They're bound by their mutual rebellion. It'll be an interesting read and hopefully it'll be an interesting series, as we find out how the boys became men."
ABC's BOSTON LEGAL is must-see TV for Shatner fans, Tuesday nights at 10/9c.
Amazon.com offers THE ULTIMATE STAR TREK COLLECTION, a 212-disc set containing virtually every incarnation of STAR TREK movie and TV series.

If they ever do a young Kirk and Spock TV series developed from Bill Shatner books, I hope thet adapt Diane Carey's beloved FINAL FRONTIER and BEST DESTINY novels, which features Captain Robert April under the command of the Enterprise NCC 1701, with Kirk's father, Commander George Samuel Kirk, as first officer.That would be awesome. BEST DESTINY (see cover) also features a pre-Academy James T. Kirk in his first adventure in space.
