Warning: This "fun fact" regarding City on the edge of forever may tear down the fourth wall of the Star Trek Universe. Proceed at your own discretion.

It is no secret that some of the Star Trek TOS episodes where filmed on the "40 acres" backlot of the  Desilu Studios. On the same streets used by other Desilu produced television shows of the day. Two sites explore the making of these TV shows.
Note: the acronym TAGS refers to "The Andy Griffith Show"
