These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Stewart's voice-over introduction during each episode's opening credits stated the starship's purpose: The series was broadcast in first-run syndication with dates and times varying among individual television stations. Roddenberry, Maurice Hurley, Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor served as executive producers at various times throughout its production. Beverly Crusher, Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar, Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, and a new Enterprise. The Next Generation featured a new crew: Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, Brent Spiner as Data, Michael Dorn as Worf, LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Gates McFadden as Dr. He decided to set it a century after the events of his original series. In the 1980s, Roddenberry-who was responsible for the original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973–1974), and the first of a series of films-was tasked by Paramount Pictures with creating a new series in the franchise. Set in the latter third of the 24th century, when Earth is part of the United Federation of Planets, it follows the adventures of a Starfleet starship, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), in its exploration of the Alpha quadrant in the Milky Way galaxy. The third series in the Star Trek franchise, it was inspired by Star Trek: The Original Series. It originally aired from September 28, 1987, to May 23, 1994, in syndication, spanning 178 episodes over seven seasons. But without Kirk, William Shatner, the show probably would not have worked.Star Trek: The Next Generation ( TNG) is an American science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry.

Of course, Spock and the doc were great supporting cast members. Look at all those cell phones they used in the series. The topics, scientific lingo and gadgets were also far beyond what most people were thinking of before this period.

The thinly adorned sets were visually enhanced by all these primary colors. Also, loved the vibrant simple colors used on the sets and in wardrobe. He should have won an emmy for his acting.

He's a good, versatile actor and was able to "sell" the script with a sense of seriousness and reality that it made up for the low budget sets, costumes and sometimes silly plots. And I am amazed at how good and unique this show was.and is.especially for a show from the 1960s. Well.recently have been watching reruns on a free TV channel. Had seen episodes from Star Trek decades ago, but never was a huge fan. I am 58 and never was a big fan of science fiction.
