William Shatner admits he hasn't watched himself on Star Trek: "It's all painful"

I didn't know this about the Great Captain but not remembering all of your work is understandable. I definitely do not recall all of my work.

I call BS on not having seen much of ST:TOS by Shatner. He claimed back at the time he sat down and watched every minute of every episode ahead of the Sci-Fi Network's special for the series around 20 years ago where people associated with the show gave commentary during the bumpers between commercials and the scenes. As the other poster said at this point in time he may remember very little. He has always claimed that he remembered very little and that I believe. He is not a very sentimental guy in terms of looking back.

Shat has co-written some Trek novels, so he knows the mythology of it well enough that I'm sure he's seen the show. Most actors deny watching their work because they don't want to seem like narcissists.
