Inaccurate:
Since the pilot was never picked up by CBS as a series, it was shown as a "CBS Special Presentation" on July 17, 1984. It was shown once in the Eastern and Central time zones of the United States, but pre-empted on the West Coast by CBS News coverage of the Democratic National Convention. This is the only known broadcast of the pilot.[3]

Paul Anka wrote the theme to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and has earned more from the show than Carson ever did.

And I believe Roddenberry made a ton of money just by tacking on terrible lyrics to the Star Trek theme so he could get a co-writing credit.

The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
And here is the theme with lyrics performed by Tenacious D.

No mention of the M*A*S*H spinoff that was actually successful?
