Except that they were correct at being skeptical, and season 1 TNG was crap. Huge improvement came already in season 2, and people started liking it.

Though it wasn’t bad because Patrick Stewart was a theatre actor, nor because he was bald. The issues tended to be more with Roddenberry’s rules against having interpersonal conflict amongst the crew, or scripts that weren’t very good/not written with the TNG crew in mind.

How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it’s still complete garbage to this day.

That is a matter of personal opinion, though. People clearly like it enough that we got multiple shows in the current run, rather than it being put away and forgotten about.
