List of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes

Star Trek: The Next Generation is an American science fiction television series which aired in syndication from September 1987 through May 1994. It is the second live action series of the Star Trek franchise, and comprises a total of 178 episodes over seven seasons. The series picks up about 75 years after the original series takes place.

McFadden left the show after the first season and was replaced with Diana Muldaur, but McFadden returned for the third season and would remain with the cast until the series finale. Wil Wheaton starred as Wesley Crusher in seasons 1–4, returning for guest appearances in seasons 5 and 7. Denise Crosby played chief security officer Tasha Yar in the first season but was killed off in the episode "Skin of Evil". Crosby would return for several guest appearances in later seasons.

The Next Generation cast also appears in four feature films, Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis.
