Star Trek: The Next Generation, was the first live-action Star Trek show I watched as each episode made its initial appearance on TV. I grew up watching the original series, simply known as “Star Trek,” back then, and I also vaguely recall watching the Star Trek: Animated Show when I was a kid. I now assume I saw the episodes as they “dropped,” to use the modern parlance, but for me, as a kid growing up, the live-action Star Trek show with Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Klingons, Romulans, and phaser shoot-outs, was THE show to watch.
