And then, of course, there was the animated series, which I've never seen and therefore cannot comment on it, other than it sounds silly.

No, it wasn't silly. It wasn't good either. It was an nice idea, poorly executed. The nice idea: think of all the aliens you could include without having to pony up for expensive latex face appliances! ...but poorly executed: They looked like, well,... cartoons. The nice idea: Have some of the original actors do their characters' voice overs! ..but poorly executed: They sounded exceptionally lifeless, flat, and/or bored much of the time. Very noticeable & puzzling. The nice idea: Follow up on some of the original episodes' storylines! ...but poorly executed--well, maybe it wasn't the execution in this case but the audience. The Saturday morning crowd viewing the cartoon probably didn't overlap much with original Trek fans, so continuing a storyline didn't have that, "oh yeah, I always wondered whatever happened to Harry Mudd!" spark of recognition.
