Star Trek  

"These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."

The cornerstone of the house that Gene Roddenberry built, and the original show about "idealists in space."

Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) led the Enterprise's five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, etc. While having all sorts of allegorical adventures and raising viewer consciousness, the crew took time out to battle Klingons and Romulans.
