I grew up with Berman-era Trek from the ‘90s to the mid-00s, and DS9 became by favourite. However, my current fave is Lower Decks.

And I think its important, as it shows that I am not stuck in the past wishing for the good old days. I actually can like the new stuff that is made.
 
Yes and no.

For me, it's complicated, because TOS is what I watched first and for the longest time that was all I saw, so I consider that the Trek I grew up with, even though I technically have grown up with NuTrek (Kelvin and beyond), which I am not a big fan off.

I've since seen all the Trek's (at least most of the way through), and TOS is still my Star Trek.
 
I grew up with TNG, but I think DS9 is my favorite Trek.

So, no, but in a slightly broader sense, yes - my favorite Trek is still the generation of Trek I grew up with, but not the exact series (even though TNG still ranks high on my list).
 
I lean more towards particular episodes.
The Thaw, Dead Stop, Doomsday Machine, Duet….

In-space episodes I favor over most planet-side visits with pesky locals.

Kind of?, I guess the Trek I “grew up” with would be the Abrahams movies/early discovery. The Abrahams movies definitely got me into Trek, and since TOS is my favourite it got me into that crew/group of relationships. I don’t love the Abrahams movies as Trek (i do like them as films though), but they’re so accessible and were the easiest entry point so i’m glad for them.
 
I grew up with "TNG", and while I also like "Voyager", and even some of "DS9", Picard and crew remain my favorite iteration of the franchise.
 
I didn't grow up with any Star Trek (lack of interest), but given how nostalgic I can be about other stuff it's probably a safe bet that TNG would be my favorite still (it would have been the Trek I grew up with, it aired when I was a kid), lol.
 
I grew up with Berman era. TNG was my first Trek. I have a soft spot for TNG but is it my favourite, still? Probably not. Ds9, SNW, Ent (mainly last two seasons), Lower Decks, and Pro are probably my top 5 trek shows.
 
TNG started my Trek journey and remains my favourite to this day.

In the UK, I believe it was 6.45pm on a Wednesday on BBC2 after The Simpsons. Perhaps someone can remember if that's correct? I did have a few videos that I watched often, but you couldn't beat finding a new episode to watch on tv
 
I grew up with TNG, DS9 etc.... they are my favourites, but so too is TOS.

I don't care for anything after Voyager really. I think it gradually lost its distinctiveness.
 
Yes and no... I started with TOS in 1987, followed TNG from 1990 to 1994 and the other shows during their respective runs.

While TOS was my first and I still love it, I can't say that I like TNG or DS9 any less. The three shows share spot #1 for me.

And although the point could be made that I was still in the process of growing up during the 90s, I'd say I like PIC and SNW more than VOY ... and LD too, I guess.
 
Arguably ,yeah. I first saw TOS and TNG, but the first Trek I was able to watch reliably DS9. It's also my favorite show, though I'm bitreksexual and love love love Strange New Worlds.
