''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' aired for seven seasons beginning on September 28, 1987, and ending on May 23, 1994.

The series begins with the crew of the ''Enterprise''-D put on trial by an omnipotent being known as [[Q (Star Trek)|Q]], who became a recurring character. The god-like entity threatens the extinction of humanity for being a race of savages, forcing them to solve a mystery at nearby Farpoint Station to prove their worthiness to be spared. After successfully solving the mystery and avoiding disaster, the crew departs on its mission to explore strange new worlds.

Subsequent stories focus on the discovery of new life and sociological and political relationships with alien cultures, as well as exploring the [[human condition]]. Several new species are introduced as recurring antagonists, including the [[Ferengi]], the [[Cardassian]]s, and the [[Borg (Star Trek)|Borg]]. Throughout their adventures, Picard and his crew are often forced to face and live with the consequences of difficult choices.

The series ended in its seventh season with a two-part episode "All Good Things...", which brought the events of the series full circle to the original confrontation with Q. An interstellar anomaly that threatens all life in the universe forces Picard to leap from his present, past, and future to combat the threat. Picard was successfully able to show to Q that humanity could think outside of the confines of perception and theorize on new possibilities while still being prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the greater good. The series ended with the crew of the ''Enterprise'' portrayed as feeling more like a family and paved the way for four consecutive motion pictures that continued the theme and mission of the series.
