CNN.com just posted the transcript of William Shatner appearance at Larry King Live on February 21. Here is an excerpt :
CALLER : Hi, Mr Shatner, how are you doing ? I was wondering, do you like the direction that the Star Trek series and the movies are taking right now ?
SHATNER : Difficult question to answer, because I don't see them.
KING : What do you mean ?
SHATNER : Well, I haven't seen - I don't watch television, like an hour show. I don't watch. Like I'm waiting for this -- our show to be over and I'm going to run down and watch the Olympics. I'm glued to the set with the Olympics. But I don't watch hour shows, per se, even half hour shows.
KING : You don't watch Star Trek ?
SHATNER : No, I don't watch -- I've never seen another Star Trek. I don't even see the Star Treks I've been on. I don't watch movies for television, I don't watch half-hours.
KING : What about theater, movies ?
SHATNER : That I go to. That, sports news...
KING : There has been a Star Trek movie, right, without you, has there been ?
SHATNER : Yes, two. Three.
KING : Have you seen those ?
SHATNER : No. So I can't tell what direction he's referring to, except that hopefully it's been good and successful.
KING : What do people tell you ?
SHATNER : They like it. Things are good.
[...]
KING : What if someone brought a great, great Star Trek script to you ?
SHATNER : I would jump on it in a minute. Absolutely.[...]
