*The successor to the popular Star Trek television series of the 60's, Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered to critical and popular acclaim as a syndicated weekly series in September, 1987. Since its debut, the show has continually garnered high ratings and has received many major awards and nominations. Now, after well over 100 episodes and five years on the air, it seems likely that the U.S.S. Enterprise will continue its missions for many, many years to come. *Source: Back of card
