The Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth" has just been shown here.

The Enterprise returns to 1968 Earth for 'historical research' and
finds an agent (Gary Seven) who is human but has been brought up in
a much more advanced civilization (and thus has a liberal supply of
interesting gadgets). At the end of the episode (after saving Earth
from WW III) Kirk tells Seven that, having studied Earth's future,
he knows that Mr Seven is in for a very interesting time.

This looked very much as though they were hoping for a spin-off
series for Gary Seven (lots of futuristic gadgets but conveniently
set in 1968).

Can anyone out there confirm or deny this and, if it's true,
was such a spin-off series ever started ?
