In the 60's the first media fanzines dedicated to TV shows appeared. Some scholars claim that whereas most earlier zines were published by men, the majority of media fanzines were published by women. The first was a Star Trek fan publication called Spockanalia, published in 1967. All five of its issues were published while the show was still on the air. Many other Star Trek fanzines followed. Starsky and Hutch, Man from U.N.C.L.E., and other 1960's shows also inspired fanzines. One also hears that the first fanfiction appeared in these media fanzines.
