Our family (kids ages 8 and 9) has watched the entire series and are now watching Voyager. This is a wonderful show for opening family discussion: prejudice, sexism, addiction..it's all there! I believe this series is more appropriate for young kids than the original because it has very little insidious sexism- the mini skirts of the original ST seem very sexist to me, as does Kirk's constant womanizing. There are more strong female characters here and they are not prancing around in go-go boots!

I have been a Star Trek fan since I was a kid and The Next Generation started me out and then I moved to the Original Series my siblings watched when they were kids. It's a great watch for anyone who loves sci-fi and space.

I love all star trek! For people who are just starting out in TNG My only piece of advice is that the first season is rough, because the writers/editors/producers didn't know which audience they were going for. I personally don't like season two because of Dr. Pollaski, but she's gone by three. I love this series and I hope you will too!

I can't help being a bit of a Trekkie. The plots in "The Next Generation" are so intricate and interesting. I love how each of the characters in the series developes more and more in each episode. A must watch for anyone who likes drama and/or sci-fi!

This is pretty much my favorite TV series ever (not that I have watched too many). It is an awesome series. Every episode was creative and reflected real world problems and solutions while putting in enough science fiction to make it very interesting. Great characters and species (especially the borg). Not too violent, and very rarely blood, if at all. Mild drinking (in Ten Forward bar). Really cool.
