    For most people in this community, TNG is your parents’ star trek. It began airing in 1987, 37 years ago. TOS is your grandparents’ Star Trek, at the earliest.

    Your Star Trek is MAYBE voyager, but Enterprise has been around over 20 years now, and people with jobs and taxes to pay watched that as young people.

      I’m the Enterprise crowd. I was 10 years old.

      EDIT: I grew up on TNG. Saw First Contact in theaters at age of five.

      Amazing how you do not think too much about your own age, until you see it staring back at you in black and white!

      By this community’s standards at least I can say I did Live long. The Prosper part, not so much.

      I took that as 1 being TOS/TAS/OG Movies, 2 being TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT/TNG Movies, 3 being everything from the 09 movie onwards

      To me I didn’t watch ST growing up. I started when I was at least a teenager, maybe early 20s, around 2012 or so probably. I started with TNG though, and my favorite is DS9, which started the year I was born. I consider it my ST, even though Enterprise is probably what should be considered my contemporary. For sure, TNG would be my parent’s though, if they watched it.

      I remember watching TNG with my mom as a kid. She recorded it on VHS and we’d fast forward through commercials.
