Star Trek was one of the first major studio releases to take Science Fiction seriously and it will always be revered for that fact. There are even some episodes which are still very good, including The City On The Edge of Forever and Space Seed. However, the show overall has not aged well. The prejudices of the time that kept a women from being Number One as well as the fight first mentality of William Shatner's Captain Kirk don't fit in with the peaceful tone of the space exploration concept. Still, the likability of the crew as well as the idea of an evolving society where there is peace on Earth makes Star Trek an enjoyable, landmark series; the influence of which is still being felt today where Sci-Fi shows are on almost every major network.
