It took me the first season to get into TNG. It got arguably better after Riker grew his beard, Geordi got promoted and Yar was killed off.

A lot of fans think the first two years were pretty bad. Basically, it improved once Gene Roddenberry's health declined to the point that he couldn't be involved any more. His view of the future was so idealistic that there wasn't much conflict. Which made it boring.

I just never found the TNG characters appealing. I loved the TOS and VOY characters. Which is why I still love VOY, even though I'm disappointed with the writing overall.
