I have actually read Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!. I was probably about thirteen and my mother later told me she was appalled at the title but she never censored my reading. Me, I was disappointed to find it wasn't about hockey. There is no actual smack, it's a pretty tame adolescent finding yourself story (unless I'm remembering some other book) in which the worst behavior is her nerdy kinda-boyfriend smoking some oregano that someone told him was pot.

Probably have seen the star trek, but I don't know them by titles and it would have been back when it originally aired.

Hi!

Hi! Welcome back!

I remember seeing the cover for DHSS! when I was eleven or twelve, but I never read it.

My parents didn't censor my reading, either. I took it for granted at the time, but in retrospect, it's kind of awesome. I remember my mother arguing with my elementary school librarian that I should get to read more advanced books than he was letting me take out, too.
