Title: Happy 20th TNG
Post by: Geekyfanboy on September 07, 2007, 11:09:35 PM
The month of September marks the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek The Next Generation.

I can't believe it's been twenty years.. man that makes me feel old.

But wow what a great twenty years. I have TNG to thank for bringing me into the Trek universe.

:cheers to Picard, Riker, Data, Worf, LaForge, Crusher and Troi  :cheers

Yep, hard to believe 20 years has gone by now for TNG (and 41 for TOS).  Here's a cool link with some anniversary dates and things for TNG.  http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/bst/article/2305803.html

I think towards the end of September I will do a special TNG podcast celebrating it's 20th anniversary.  Probably the last Sunday of the month.

This weeks issue of Entertainment Weekly Magazine has a pull out section celebrating the Star Trek TNG 20th Anniversary. Look for the issue featuring the new season of Heroes on the cover.

Hey Kenny, just a quick question, how do you send in your MP3s/thoughts?

Anyway, TNG is what got me hooked.  Blame it on my mom cause she watched it on tapes a lot.  Eventually, I started to like it and the movies we had.  Then we started getting the DVDs and I was officially a trekkie geek.

Gotta love it.

I record them on Audacity (it's a free audio recording program) and then email them to Rico.

I will do the special TNG 20th Anniversary show on October 7th.  Have an interview for the show coming up this weekend.

That sounds awesome Rico.  I can't wait!  It is my all time favorite.  Maybe I'll make a poem in honor of TNG.

I well remember when I lived in Salt Lake City and TNG began airing. I was a little apprehensive and yet excited that Roddenberry had the chance to bring more Trek to TV! Faithfully I tuned in every week and slowly but surly this new generation of Star Trek began to take hold and make me a fan. I can't say I was a solid fan during the first season but somewhere about the middle of season two things changed and the show got distinctly better and by the end of season three I was sold! I can't hardly believe that was twenty years ago! My how time flies!  :flying

Three cheers for TNG! :cheers  :cheers  :cheers

hm...1987...wow. I was 6. Despite that I still remember watching encounter at farpoint. TNG was a weekend ritual at my house. Even my mom (who can't sit still for 5 minutes) would sit and watch.

Wow.....20 years.  Though I still remember not liking the Enterprise 'D' at first.  I thought it was goofy looking....and I still don't like the v-neck uniforms....they vastly improved when they put collars on the uni's.  But the characters were great and Q is prolly one of the best good/bad guys of all time.

Haha, I love the look on Picard's face when he says "engage." Classic. Almost as good as anytime he says "make it so."

Awesome vid. Cheers to TNG.
