There are many myths about Captain Kirk, which is an odd thing considering he is a fictional character. Nevertheless, there are a number of common misconceptions with the character's popular image that don't exist as part of the source material. One example is what is typically dubbed "Shatner speak". This is explained as the act of talking as if there is a period at the end of every word.
This is most famous[ly] satirized by Jim Carrey during his time with Saturday Night Live. Another myth is that he is [a] frequent rule breaker, who does whatever he feels is right regardless of orders. This is even popularized by the show itself most recently in the series Lower Decks, where frequent rule-breaker Beckett Mariner calls herself a "Kirk-type" to justify her actions.
Then, there of course [is] the classical claim that he is a crazy womanizer as popularized most recently by the pregnant "Kirk was here" cosplayers.

The entire episode has the sisters united in their effort to keep Lincoln from getting the money, just to spite him, and when they finally *do* find it, Lincoln doesn't get a dime of it. Well, except for the part where none of that actually happened. As I recall, the sisters spent the whole episode at each others' throats, not just Lincoln's, and eventually they all come together to find the money and split it evenly, leading to one of the most satisfying endings in the series.

on The Loud House episode "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House"When the Fumblenoggins in their 20s and 30s complain about how terrible Sesame Street is today and how brilliant it used to be, they often point to the death of Jim Henson as the moment everything started careening downhill into a festering pool of crappiness. But as crazy as it sounds, Jim's overall contribution to the show is often vastly overestimated. While Sesame Street certainly never would have become such a phenomenon without Jim Henson's Muppets, he never played the role of show-runner. He was part of the show's early development, he played a key role in the creation of the show's early development, he played a key role in the creation of the show's Muppet characters, and of course he played lots of great Muppet characters.
But from the very beginning (and even before the beginning), Sesame Street was a Children's Television Workshop joint, not a Jim Henson one, so Jim was never one of the top decision-makers.
