Star Trek: The Next Generation (often abbreviated to TNG) is the second live-action Star Trek TV series created by Gene Roddenberry as part of the Star Trek franchise. Set about 71 years after the original (Kirk, Spock, McKoy...) Star Trek in the 24th century, , the series featured a new crew and a new starship Enterprise. Premiere began on September 28, 1987 with the two-hour pilot "Encounter at Farpoint". May 23, 1994 with the finale "All Good Things..." ended 178 episodes long saga spread over seven seasons, concluding longest chapter than any other Star Trek series.
TNG cast after the end of the series continued the adventures with four of the Star Trek motion pictures. Star Trek Generations was first in a row, being final conclusion of first six motion pictures with The Original Series cast. It included crossover appearance of William Shatner, James Doohan, and Walter Koenig. Following movie: First Contact, after two years of pause, featured pure TNG cast and introduced new USS Enterprise-E engaging the Borg. Next sequel: Insurrection (1998) carries most resemblance to series with its crew characterization. Last movie: Nemesis (2002) brought definite conclusion to adventures of TNG crew.
Main casts: Patrick Stewart (Captain Pickard), Jonathan Frakes (Comander Ryker), Brent Spiner (Data), LeVar Burton(Gordy), Marina Sirtis(Troy), Michael Dorn(Worf), Gates McFadden(Dr. Crusher), Denise Crosby, Wil Wheaton....
Today, Star Trek DVD: The Next Generation is entirely available on DVD. It takes 49 disc hold complete seven seasons, with individual TNG seasons separately available. All seven seasons last 8085 minutes and contain valuable additional materials. Most people agree that most economic option is to buy entire box with all seven Next Generation seasons. It is to be expected that quantity of DVDs goes down and quality goes up after Star Trek: The Next Generation lands on Blu ray. It is for sure planned, but release date is yet to be published.
TNG Motion Pictures: available as single DVDs and boxed collections, they are available as TNG Motion Picture Collection [Blu-ray] too. Great about it is that all materials are remastered with improvements in field of CGI effects. Fun is with switching on the fly between old and new effects. As usual, entire collection is more affordable than individual discs. Boxed collection holds 5 discs with 522 minutes of film material and additional stuff.
