I don't know about "more glamorous", but, IMO, it certainly was a lot more entertaining, intentionally and non-intentionally...

Maybe not glamourous but it stands head and shoulders above any and all of its successor and spin off shows. “Next Generation” for example, was execrable.

Agreed! I ended up rooting for the Borg if only just to shut Picard up!

I reach.

Some years back I had my semi-annual checkup at the VA. Wife waited for my in the anteroom. She looked up as I came out and I recited the "Clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy" routine. One of the guys looked up and said, "He reaches". I cracked up.

The others didn't make eye contact.

Agreed for the most part. I thought the 3rd, 4th, and 5th seasons were good overall. The rest not so much.

Absolutely. I gave some of the newer series a try, then very soon lost interest.

I was a fan immediately and still am.

I watch reruns and now realize there were some pretty weak episodes. Lots of good ones too. Also lot of pretty girls.

Looking back, I think the best thing was the cast, particularly the main ones.

Lol! That what was I meant when I said the old series was lots more entertaining, intentionally or not. I actually meant more funny, intentionally or not.

Season 1 episode 23 stuck with me, "A Taste Of Armegeddon"
