Originally aired in 1987, Star Trek The Next Generation TV series certainly became one of the favorite Star Trek series of all time. TNG as many fans call it, kept the fundamentals of Star Trek, which is the main reason of Enterprise to exist, to allow the exploration of the galaxy. In Star Trek The Next Generation TV series, the crew is much more diplomatic than in the previous series. This series is set about 80 years after the original series and centers on the crew from the new Enterprise.

The crew consists of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (played by Patrick Stewart), Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn), Doctor Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), Enterprise Computer (Majel Barrett).

Star Trek The Next Generation TV series was created after the box-office success of previous ST movies. Roddenberry, the creator of the main Star Trek first declined to be part of the new series. Unhappy with pre-production work, he became deeply involved in the production of this new series.

The series is comprised of seven season.
