   the results show that it was a wrong-headed approach. aThe episodes that stand   
   up the best are consistently the ones with fairly simple plots (Yesteryear,   
   One of Our Planets Is Missing, The Survivor), stories that don't require too   
   much exposition to tell the tale and tell it well. aThe ones with more   
   complicated plots, which might have worked well at an hour, equally   
   consistently come across as rushed and underdeveloped.

   Some of them may have literally been unproduced TOS scripts that were   
   adapted for TAS.  Apparently More Tribbles More Troubles fit that   
   bill, but others may have also.  I hadn't thought about that before.   
   I haven't bothered to check how many of the TAS writers had written 30   
   minute dramas, and/or animated shows before TAS.  A lot of the   
   writers, like Kandel, Gerrold, Armen, and others, were veterans of the   
   original series.   So was Fontana, but she turned out one of TAS's   
   best episodes.
