By the way, if you want to know whether or not this is canon? It’s canon.
In 2266, Kevin Riley, under the influence of polywater intoxication, “ordered” a formal dance to be held in the bowling alley on the USS Enterprise. (TOS: “The Naked Time”)
I love it!
“I mean, say what you want about the tenets of United Federation, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”
Was bowling big in the 60s?
Yep. They had bowling on TV back then!
They even had bowling on TV through the 90s, actually. I used to watch it religiously before I was a teenager.
I haven’t watched broadcast/cable tv in years. Is bowling no longer aired? I never paid attention to it so I assumed it was just always there.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it is still on but I don’t watch TV anymore either. If my memory serves me correctly, I saw an 80s rerun on ESPN about 5 years ago, but for the life of me, I have no idea why I was watching ESPN to begin with. (Nostalgia, maybe?)
ESPN 8: The Ocho
Oh, I didn’t mean ESPN. Remember, back then there were three networks. Bowling was a huge deal to take up that time.
They still have bowling on TV.
Are you guys trying to make me feel older than I really am?
Only if you are young. Like under 40.
Yes, but in the 60’s there were like 5 channels at any given time on big cities.
I bet it didn’t survive the refit. Actually, I suspect that’s where the “Rec Deck” from TMP ended up, though I have no proof (were the post-refit blueprints ever published?)
Is there even a space for the “Rec Deck” to fit in a Constitution class? I don’t think it would fit where the blueprints show the bowling alley because the “Rec Deck” is at least two decks tall. The Constitution class is surprisingly small; I was a TNG guy and the Galaxy class ships are comically gigantic.
Would be a question I would pose to a Youtuber by the name of We Travel By Night, who has tackled things like “The turbolift shafts on the exterior model don’t change from movie to movie, but the turbolift doors gradually move apart as they update the set.” or “the ship’s neck is so narrow that there’s no room for the turbolift and the engine plumbing to pass by each other, so how does that even work?”
Which Enterprise is this in?
TOS.
Donnie tried to tell him but he told Donnie to shut the fuck up.
Those Old Scientists.
The best one
If they threw the ball backwards, was it mandatory that everyone jump and spin around?
If your curious about the rest of the blueprints

I used to have them on paper. I got them at a convention decades ago.
