Time Patrol And Star Trek

There are some (not many) parallels between Time Patrol and Star Trek:

two sf series;

two high tech organizations, the Time Patrol and Star Fleet, visiting often lower tech environments;

Enterprise crew members "transport"/teleport onto planetary surfaces just as Time Patrol agents materialize in earlier periods;

three episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series featured time travel and James Blish linked these episodes together in his screen adaptations as if initiating a time travel sub-series;

after seeing Star Trek: Generations, I wanted to read something good about time travel so I reread Anderson's "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacocks."
