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.

Hmm, I hated Riker's beard. I think they had him grow it so he would seem less Kirk-like (sorry for the body shaming but I think he put on a few pounds is another reason he grew the beard. Riker himself was played well, I had a crush on Yar though they could've written her better and stopped removing sex from the show. Geordi was an original character whose personality grew on you. I liked Voyager except for Tuvak. The weakest Vulcan they could find. I knew Mr. Spock. Mr. Spock was my friend. Tuvok was no Mr. Spock. Fun Fact : Practically the entire crew did animation together. Gargoyles and an episode of Family Guy.
