Star Trek TNG List of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz
(Revised April 1, 1992)
[NOTE: I still have about 3.4" of material to be added or corrected to these
lists. If you submitted a change, and they're not included, they're still on
a printout. ;)]
DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are
copyright and trademarks of Paramount Communications. Any infringement of
these lists on Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks are purely
unintentional, and will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists
are for the enjoyment of the reader only, and may not be sold. Some items in
these lists are taken from Mike Brown's "ST:TNG Program Guide", and no
copyright infringement is intended. This list is only intended to supplement
Mr. Brown's guide, not replace it. You are highly recommended to purchase Mr.
Brown's guide.
This is the Star Trek TNG Lists of Lists. It contains a listing of all the
episodes for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" TV series, plus some added
notes. (Due to length considerations, there is a separate TOS/TAS, Movies,
and DS9 List of Lists) This list comes out around the 1st and 16th of every
month, except July and August, when it will come out on the 1st only.
However, a posting may not come out due to events beyond my control.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and enjoy a wealth of information from other people
who post on the electronic networks. After being irritated by the ever
constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided that, in the middle
of 1990, to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It soon grew from
that, and, with the contributions of other people, these lists grew to what
you see today. (And still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and
contributions, I am not making a dime off these compilations.

Syndication Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" is a syndicated program that is sold to each
individual station. It is not part of the FOX network, although many stations
that have purchased TNG are also part of FOX.
The first run episodes are uplinked to the local stations on the Saturday and
Sunday of the Satellite Date. This uplinking is done through Keystone
Communications (formerly WOLD Communications), through Telstar 301. The
program is uplinked on saturdays through Transponder 9 (5V) at 1800 ET/1500
PT, and on sundays through Transponder 9 (5V) at 1400 ET/1100 PT. The
carriers are wide-band, and are: 6.2-left, 6.8-right, and 5.8-mono. No
scrambling is employed in the uplink. The station then airs the episode for
the first time anytime during Paramount's official week of (Monday through
Sunday).
It is currently against Paramount contract to cut short the closing credits
and the Paramount logo in first-run episodes. If your station is cutting the
credits, then write to both the offending station and:
Paramount Pictures Corporation
TV Syndication and Promotion
5555 Melrose Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90038
Currently, the episodes from seasons one through four (up to "In Theory",
"Redemption I" is not included) are currently available for daily syndication
from Paramount television. With the exception of "Encounter At Farpoint",
there is no editing by Paramount television in order to make room for more
commercials. Any such editing is being done by your local station. "Encounter
At Farpoint" is being distributed as a two-part episode, with several scenes
being moved around, some other scenes being shortened or cut, and some of the
audio being changed.
Currently, it is permissible for Star Trek: The Next Generation to be subject
to "Syndication Exclusivity" rules. Thus, if, on your local cable system,
both your local station and a out of town station both carry TNG, your local
station can have the out of town station's TNG broadcasts be blacked out on
cable.
Currently, Columbia House Video Library is distributing TNG on VHS video
tape. "Encounter At Farpoint" is carried on these series of tapes as a
two-hour movie, as seen originally in 1987. However, the box says two-part,
since the original run of cassettes was the two-part chopped version. All the
other episodes are being distributed in a uncut form. The episode are ordered
according to Production Code number, and the cassettes being distributed only
go up to the first season, although a second season may be offered. To order,
call Columbia House for more information at 1-800-538-7766.
"Encounter At Farpoint", "The Naked Now", and "Code Of Honor" are available
directly from Paramount Home Video in both video tape and (possibly) laser
disc through your local video store. However, there is no word on when or if
more episodes will be released.
