I love any episode with Q, especially when he is thrown out of the continuum.

Here's my favorite episode (not the best episode they ever made, but my favorite because it is so ridiculous):

Love that one too... Especially when McCoy loses his knowledge 1/2 way through the operation. If I were him, I would have disconnected Spock's mouth once he was finished

What I loved about the original series was the humor dispersed throughout as well as the interplay between Spock, McCoy and Kirk. None of the other series has that special spark, although the 'hotties in cat suits' in "Voyager" and "Enterprise" were nice too. TNG always left me flat, DS9 was OK, but did not really get good until the last couple seasons. 'Enterprise' was a joke -- I mean Space NAZIs? How many times has THAT been done?

I thought 'Enterprise' had something going with the shows based on the mirror universe, they even had a new opening for them which was much better than that sappy opeing the rest of the shows had...

I would LOVE to see a series based on the mirror universe, it would be fun to see the 'USS ENTERPRISE' as the bad guys, or maybe one that focuses on the below decks guys and not on the bridge officers - one more along the lines of BSG where you can see the Petty Officers and crew actually working...

That was one of the things I most enjoyed about TNG. Data, and the interplay he would have with multiple characters provided the best humor since McCoy, and I believe it one-up'd him.j
Ryker was often in humorous situations and he had this confused smirk that was the exclamation point of the gag usually.
Picard had a dry humor, not on display that often, but it was certainly befitting the character of the best captain in the whole franchise. His best humor usually involved Q.
I could go on and on, but I will just politely disagree with your assertion.....

A bunch of Star Trek wanna bes. Please, anybody remember the 'Cage'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Menagerie_(TOS_episode)
Commander Pike would wup up on all the other captains, for sure. OK, enought joking, all of them had some good episodes and some not so good ones. I like the Data and Lore character. I liked the scene where Lore jacks up Warf like hes just a rag doll. Just knowing Data had the same amount of power.
The eposode of the original, where they go back in time. Kirk blocks McCoy from saving was it Joan Collins. Kirk turns away as McCoy screams at him, 'Do you know what you did?". Spock replys, "Yes, he knows.'
I wan not much of a DS9 fan. Althoug some good episodes and characters. Enterprise didn't get the rateings, so they messed to much with it. They sold out the original idea.
Voyager was OK at times. Nelix was a pain to watch though.

TNG was the best IMO. I of course was raised on the original.

I watched DS9 and Voyager for a little while, but they lost my interest. The last Voyager episode I saw was where the ship crashed on the surface of some planet.

That would be ISS Enterprise in the mirror universe.
