My father was almost cast as a Klingon, but his uncle pissed off Desi Arnez. Reportedly called Desi a racist name. (They were neighbors)
Star Trek was produced by Desilu Studios.
He would've been in the background, one of the Klingons fighting in the tribbles episode.
So close to being a part of television history.

5/10 God Bless ya, Gene!
8/10 Missing is the fact that he was a known philanderer [affairs with both Nichelle Nichols AND Majel Barrett, while still married to his wife] and possible rapist of Grace Lee Whitney [Yeoman Rand], whom he fired the day after the rape, before the series even premiered. Suddenly she just wasn't there anymore... no explanation. She wouldn't name him, but in her book she recounts that her rapist gave her a rock when she was in her make-up chair the next day, and Gene was known to be a serious rock collector.
Surprised they didn't include any of these in this quiz. Maybe the next one.
It seems only only her friend Lenard Nimoy knew the identity of the rapist, and he never told. But the only person at that time that could wield that much power over the cast members was Roddenberry.
Thanks for pointing those things out. He was also a well known substance abuser. Not a very nice man. Excellent show though.
9 out of 10. Thought I blew it after missing the first question, but I rebounded well.
Five out of 10.
3/10 All guesses!
4/10....Considering I don't know squat about him,I'll take the 4 with pride!
6/10 Guessed on just about every one.
7/10 Pretty good for me!
Well my logic that he wrote for leave it to Beaver since Majel was Lumpys mother in 1 episode backfired on me and added to the other 2 I got wrong 😎.
Roddenberry led a rather colorful or as some would say sordid lifestyle. I wouldn't expect any of these quiz questions to make mention of that. In any event, his creation "Star Trek" with all its sequels, movies, and iterations is proving to outlast Star Wars. And it's still going strong.
6/10... and too many lucky guesses! Appreciate all of Mr. Roddenberry's work, the guy was a genius!
I'm not telling, RIP Gene.
4/10 I don't know Gene!
Welp … I don’t know Gene at all 3/10
