196: Love Letters to TNG

The Next Generation's 30th Anniversary.
 
On September 28, 1987, a new Star Trek show premiered in the
United States. The Next Generation featured a new crew and a new
ship boldly going on adventures in a new century. Although met
with some initial resistance, The Next Generation would become a
huge hit, helping to keep Star Trek on TV for 18 straight seasons
and spawning multiple spin-off series and four feature films. The
show also introduced a whole new generation of fans to Star Trek
and The Next Generation's strong popularity and cultural
influence continue to this day.



In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson, Richard Marquez,
and Justin Oser celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Next
Generation by sharing their thoughts on what the show has meant
to them. Also included are interviews with Next Generation actors
Denise Crosby, Natalija Nogulich, Daniel Davis, Spencer Garrett,
and Margot Rose as well as interviews with fans on how The Next
Generation has positively influenced their lives.
