1987Star Trek: The Next Generation — Season 1Set 78 years after the original series, TNG premieres in first-run syndication with Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The first season is uneven but the ensemble — including Brent Spiner as Data, Jonathan Frakes as Riker and LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge — quickly establishes itself as one of television's finest casts. 26 episodes.
