I tried watching the first season of Star Trek TNG recently and couldn't get through two episodes. Things get dated I guess.

I don't think good music ever gets old.

I like the old TOS with its campiness, but even when TNG was new I found it unwatchable.

In general, though, TV shows don't age well. Even Mission Impossible from the 60's, well regarded at the time, looks silly today.

The later seasons are still very watchable, in my opinion.
We rewatching Voyager and it is still great.

When we rewatched Stargate SG1 just a few years ago, i was surprised how good it still is.

This isn't a show that is well-served by sequential viewing.

Try the Best of Both Worlds two-parter.

TNG isn't really watchable until Riker gets his beard (around season 2).
