It may have been great for those who watched the series in its heyday, but now it's just horribly cheesy and dated.
It's pretty much like saying the Adam West Batman is the preeminent version of Batman.
If Abrams had made a movie similar to the original series he would have been lambasted, laughed at, and the movie would have tanked. Then there was TNG movies which were pretty bad to begin with, and the Abrams reboot essentially surpassed those movies with just one movie.
I know some people are still stuck in the past, but that's the way I see it at least.

The analogy of comparing Adam West era Batman to modern Nolan Batman with Star Trek TNG OS and the like to JJ's Star Trek is so laughably misguided and wildly incorrect I don't even know how to continue except this must be involved:
The problem the modern Star Trek movies had was they weren't actually TNG movies. They were crappy action movies played with Star Trek characters who were, in fact, wildly out of character. The new Star Trek movies succeeded because they weren't really Star Trek movies. They were obnoxious lens flare explosion fests eaten up by the same dipsticks who loved the transformers movies.
