I recently listened to a podcast interview with George Takei. One of the things he mentioned is that because ratings for TOS were so low, it became a cheap filler 5 nights a week in syndication. THAT'S when the show really took off and became a phenomenon.

It also lacked the standard # of episodes required for syndication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes
