Every so often, I see references to the animated version of ST on
this group. I consider myself to be a mild fan of ST; I have seen
most (and maybe all) of the episodes, but don't watch their reruns
regularily. Is there any reason for someone with this level of interest
to make an effort to find and watch these animated versions? That is,
are they just the usual Saturday-morning kids' cartoon trash, but of
interest to ST fanatics for completionist reasons, or are they better
quality animation with stories comparable to the regular ST episodes?

Are these animated episodes in national syndication or still in 
current production, or have they been completed long ago and may
be hard to find currently on tv? If they are no longer in production,
were they a network feature carried everywhere or a syndication not
widely shown anyway (am I likely to find them on Saturday mornings
if I look for them)?

In short, are these episodes worth the effort?
