Star Trek The Next Generation, The Complete First Season

The year was 1987. Ninteen years after the original series was cancelled, Star Trek was still a powerful market force. The movies were making money (although Start Trek: The Movie put me into a coma), and Paramount decided to roll the dice and air a new Star Trek TV series. Would fans accept the new crew? They did, and Star Trek grew into a massive franchise worth billions (I'm guessing).
The point of this off-topic post is that I received the complete first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD, and I'm in heaven. For any Trek fan, this is a must. I nearly killed myself laughing at the horrible acting in the first episode, "Encounter at Farpoint Station". It's eerie how similar they made it to the original series - cheesy music, cheesy visuals, cheesy acting. Thank goodness is got better! This set is truly worth the money - this is going to be an expensive year in the Dunn house for DVDs. Now wouldn't it be cool if Paramount released these episodes as Pocket PC video files? Not a chance in hell, but great concept.
Amazon has gone crazy with the pre-orders: you can get season two, three, four, five, six and even season seven, all on pre-order. All links are affiliate links.
