There are some dispute whether it was the first, but certainly it was the first on a major network TV show. Some Southern TV stations pulled the episode, fearing a public backlash.

There’s a funny story about how Shatner and Nichols conspired to make sure the take of them actually kissing on camera was the only usable take of the scene. For all the others, Shatner made a goofy face at the critical moment.
