List of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes

Star Trek: The Next Generation is an American science fiction television series which aired in syndication from September 1987 through to May 1994.

It is the second live-action series of the Star Trek franchise and comprises a total of 176 (DVD and original broadcast) or 178 (syndicated) episodes over 7 seasons.

The main cast consisted of Patrick Stewart as captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as his first officer William Riker, Brent Spiner as chief of operations Data, LeVar Burton as chief engineer Geordi La Forge, Marina Sirtis as counselor Deanna Troi, Michael Dorn as chief of security Worf, and Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher.

[10] The complete series was rescanned and rebuilt in 1080p high definition and 24 progressive frames per second to be available for Blu-ray releases, syndication on television, and distribution digitally.

Instead, it was a completely new edit of the show remade from raw film clips, with many shots needing to be replaced due to being natively interlaced, the wrong frame rate (unlike DVD, Blu-ray cannot handle mixed frame rates), or otherwise not convertible to the new format.

Seasons 1 and 2 were released on the US, Canadian and UK iTunes stores in early 2013, in both high and standard definition.
