As a fan? TNG had gone into strip-syndication during the 1991-'92 season. In 1992, the channel I watched TNG on showed TOS during the summer instead. Prior to this, I had only seen TOS in movie form, not the actual series. I thought "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was great. I recorded it and watched it three times the same evening. A lot more exciting than anything I'd seen in TNG. The next day, they showed "The Corbomite Maneuver", which I liked just as much. All it took was these two episodes, and I knew I liked TOS better than TNG all the way around. Big screen or small screen.
Television back in the sixties and seventies gave you a complete episode with a story filled with action that wasn't always needed to be seen by the time they showed the next one! I think TNG suffered from the Lost style of writing where some weeks nothing much happened or someone got trapped in an elevator or Riker found a smudge on his uniform and Wesley discovered acne!

Cynical much?
The impression I had in my juvenile head was that the Enterprise was always breaking-down ( Scotty always reporting that something didn't work ). It wasn't until I watched the whole series again in teenage years that I was surprised that the ship mostly worked OK!
The other abiding memory from a young age is the 'flying fried eggs' in Operational Annihilate.

She rented it out a lot, too.
Sometimes to Kirk!
