How did they do the special effects in Star Trek The Next Generation?

Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), which began airing in 1987, changed everything. TNG was still shot on film, but the footage was then transferred to video tape. As the series continued, digital tape formats also began to be used. This process enabled a new wave of video-based visual effects to be employed.

When did TNG start getting good?

Star Trek: The Next Generation Gets GREAT In Season 4.

Why was TNG Cancelled?

Paramount’s rationale for ending TNG was driven by the increasing budget for the series and the studio’s desire to keep the Star Trek movie franchise going. By the early 1990s, the films that starred the aging cast of TOS were waning, and Paramount saw TNG as the future of the Star Trek movies.
