Summary: Superb!
Review: What is there not to like about Star Trek:TNG? This is not just another science fiction series. Sure, it is fiction, it includes science, but most importantly, it is a profound depiction of the best traits of humanity.
The actors in ST:TNG are superb and convincing. Every character is cast perfectly. My personal favorite is Brent Spiner's performance as Lt. Commander Data, an artificial life form. If only everyone had access to a Data!
The DVD quality is mostly excellent. There are a few isolated instances where the skin tones don't seem quite right, but it is tolerable and brief. The sound is excellent.
After watching this series on TV for years, it is nice to watch the shows with no commercials or annoying "screen garbage." I certainly was hesitant to spend $ on this first season, but I am glad I did. I recently ordered the second season, and plan to obtain all 7 seasons!

Summary: A good start to a great series...
Review: This first season of TNG has many ups and downs, but has some classic episodes and delivers for the Trek fan. It begins with the two-hour "Encounter at Farpoint," where the crew of the new Enterprise-D meet Q, an omnipotent being with powers like no one has ever seen. Q puts the human race on trial, and Captain Picard challenges Q to a test. Needless to say, Picard passes with flying colors, and the crew moves on.While the first ten or so episodes are a bit lukewarm and strongly lacking in special effects, they are different from the rest of the season. Sometimes ("Haven") it's better, but mostly ("The Battle," "The Naked Now," "Justice") it's just not that good. Everything picks up, though, with episodes like "The Big Goodbye," "Datalore," "Coming of Age," "Symbiosis," "Hide and Q," "Conspiracy," and "The Neutral Zone." The season does not feel consistent through most episodes, but the cast feels comfortable in their parts. What lied ahead for this crew would turn out to be the best "Star Trek" series yet, and a few good movies, too!

Summary: Good value
Review: Like many television series, the first season is a bit awkward because the actors and writers are still getting a feel of the show. Most of the episodes are enjoyable. True Trek fans or newbies would probably like to see what the 1st season was about. Some episodes are "blah", while others, like Datalore, Conspiracy, Skin of Evil, and Heart of Glory are great. Obviously, you wouldn't enjoy this if you are not somewhat interested in the Star Trek universe. The format and layout of the DVDs are excellent.

Summary: AN AWESOME DEBUT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!
Review: I've been a fan of Star Trek:TNG right from the beginning. I'll admit that I agree with what some other reviewers have said in that the shows were not up to the quality of season three on, but always remember that no show does well in its first season and that they were still trying to build an audience. Despite this, they came up with some great stories that I count among my favorite episodes of the series. This includes, "11001001", "The Big Goodbye", "We'll Always Have Paris", "Angel One", "The Arsenal Of Freedom", "Skin Of Evil", and "Conspiracy."
All in all, this first season collection on DVD is a great start to one of the best Sci-Fi shows on television, and will help you rediscover what made you a fan in the first place.
TRUST ME, IT ONLY GETS BETTER!

Summary: To boldly review as no man has reviewed before
Review: Star Trek, The Next Generation (in my opinion) is the best Star Trek ever. Out of Voyager, The original Star Trek, and the new "Enterprise", I think The Next Generation was a profound look at what humanity was, what it had become, and what it could be. The story didn't rush like Voyager, didn't drag along like the original, and wasn't filled-in by violence like in Enterprise. It moved along at an enjoyable pace and every episode gave a deep question to contemplate. I may be a Star Trek freak but I believe that everyone should at least get a taste of this incredible show before snubbing it.

Summary: Only for die-hard TNG fans or collectors
Review: Buy this only if you are a die-hard TNG fan looking to complete your collection. The episodes are not as interesting as those in seasons 3 - 7. You can tell the actors and writers did not quite have the characters down at this early stage. Is it just me or does it seem like Picard just shouts everything in this season? Anyways, better than most television shows, but not too good compared to other TNG seasons. If Riker is clean shaven or Tasha Yar is on the bridge, don't bother watching.

Summary: A great gift for anyone
Review: This is a great DVD gift set of Star Trek : TNG. The packaging is wonderful but it could have been better. The extra features are fantastic. The DVDs are in great crisp picture quality and the sound is in Dolby Digital 5.1 which sounds wonderful. The menu systems are out of the world. It is totally based on LCARS menu system. The only thing missing are the 30 second episode trailers of all the episodes.
Now about the content. All the 26 episodes of the first season are provided. Contrary to popular vote, I think that the first season of TNG stands on its own. It has got very good episodes and has one of the best characters of Star Trek, Tasha Yar. Unfortunately, her character dies towards the end which proves to be a blessing for Worf. All in all, it is a must have for all Star Trek fans. It is one of my most prized possesions.

Summary: Star Trek TNG Vol. 1.
Review: Welcome to Star Trek The Next Generation, the first spin off of the original star trek. Set in 25th century it follows the Federation starship The U.S.S Enterprise in it's continuing mission to explore strange new worlds and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before blah blah blah... In my opinion this is the best spin off of Star Trek. The crew members of the enterprise are good. Of course the first season wasn't the best(the final seasons were) but it usually never is. The greatest member of the crew is Capt. Jean Luc Picard(Patrick Stewart) Commander Data(Brent Spiner)is also a cool character. The Special effects are fiftys sci fi ish but well what would you expect. It doesn't effect the greatness of the show at all. This is a great series.

Summary: Not perfect but still very good
Review: It's the first season of the first sequal series of Star Trek.some elements seemed forced or out of place but that is undersandable since it's the first attempt at the sequal series, made about 20 years after the original.But there were inconsistancy's for example at in one episode the warp drive is called the star drive, there were several chief engineers name(none of which was La Forge) and Riker didn't have a beard. The series was pretty much trying to find it's footing,and trying to create it's own style while trying to remain faithful to the original series.

Summary: Kicks ...!
Review: If you know Star Trek The Next Generation, that should be an explanation of the content in and of itself. My only complaint is that some of the episodes vary in quality from fair to very good, depending on how dark the scene is. Sound is excellent, though, having been remixed in Dolby 5.1, and the extras, though conservative in quantity, are quite good.
