First of all let me say, I love Star Trek! I love the futuristic nature and entertaining stories! Recently I have finished watching TOS, TAS all six original movies and the rebooted JJ Abrams/Justin Lin Kelvin timeline films. I have tried watching TNG but I find it to politically correct and boring compared to the colorful entertaining style of TOS. I was wondering, since I loved everything besides TNG is there anything else that is worth watching for people like me who prefer TOS!?
I have no clue what to watch next!

Maybe it would help if you were more explicit about what you mean by "Too politically correct" because from where I stand it could mean a lot of things, not all of them good.

Maybe try the later seasons of Enterprise. I prefer TNG, but if you are looking for Trek episodes that have a little more action, that might fit the bill. maybe start with the fourth episode of season four "Borderland" and work your way through till you get to "Terra Prime."
FWIW, I think TNG will grow on you if you give it a chance. The first two seasons are pretty shaky, but there are a lot of great episodes later on.

Since you *like* TOS, I'm going to assume that by "politically correct" you mean the way TNG seems to try to give everyone "evolved sensibilities" that don't always seem realistic to human nature, and not something more heinous.
If that's the case, maybe give DS9 a try - the people there aren't quite so "perfect". "Enterprise" is a mess in certain respects, but it's still worth watching for the most part. And also, there's this other show called "Firefly" you might give a try...

Maybe I use the wrong term there, I think I've wanted more emphasis on character development and conflicts And less technobabble! Sorry for the confusion!
No problem. I hate technobabble myself. Some writers use it as a crutch.
If character development is what you're looking for, DS9 is definitely the way to go.
Outside of Trek, I'd recommend the new Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, and the aforementioned Firefly.
