   The original TV show yes, but it wasn't hugely popular at the time (and   
   was cancelled), but the release of Star Wars kicked started sci-fi   
   genre again, which helped Star Trek be resurrected in to the cinemas   
   and then further TV shows.   
      
   Without Star Wars it's unlikely Star Trek would have been brought back   
   (at least not until much later in the lazy hack times we now live in of   
   resurrecting everything). There also wouldn't have been shows like   
   Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, etc.
