It's also, roughly, the time between TOS and TNG.
THE ORVILLE Season Three...

Only sixteen. Less than that, if you count the 1996 TV movie.
But you had multiple movies for Trek..........I think 10 years was the longest drought.
Dr Who was 1963-1989 and then 2005-current so there's a 16 year break. But you had the TV movie in 1996.........
EDIT: Just saw I was ninja'ed by @The Wormhole ...........always refresh the screen! ;-)
I was thinking along the lines of TOS to TMP. Granted that wasn't 20 years but 20 is a nice round number so I used it instead.
Jason
Not if you consider TAS.
Use 10 then.....it's round and accurate. 69-79
Also a ton of old sitcoms now. Full House, Roseanne, Will & Grace.
Even Family Guy had a 3 year break.

The longest 'drought' (IE no Star Trek on TV/Film) was 4 years:
End of TOS 1969 --> TAS 1973-1975
ST:TMP 1979
STII:TWoK 1982
STIII:TSFS 1984
ST:IV:TVH 1986
ST:TNG, STV:TFF, STVI:TUC, DS9, ST:GEN, ST:FC, ST:Voy, ST:INS, ST:NEM, ENT 1987 - 2005
ST (Abrams) 2009
ST:ID 2013
ST:B 2016
ST: D 2017
STP 2019
ST:LD 2020
So yeah, 4 year gap between any Star Trek TV/Film projects at most.
Thanks for doing the legwork @Noname Given
What legwork? That's all from memory as I saw all of it (TAS on) 'first run' - so yeah, I recall the release years.

There were only four years between Enterprise and the first Abrams movie? I could have sworn it was longer than that.
It just seemed longer.
Yes, because they were the first four years without new Star Trek in decades. And there weren't as many other space adventure shows and movies out at the time to fill the void.
In fact, Trek XI was released just under a week before the four year anniversary of Enterprise's finale airing.
There was the Stargates, though SG-1 ended two years after Enterprise and Atlantis had just ended four months prior to Trek XI's release, with SGU another six months away from premiering. BSG which premiered several months before Enterprise ended and finished two months before Trek XI was released. Doctor Who, though in 2009 that was on its "gap year" reflecting the popular scenario in which the two franchises rarely co-exist at the same time. In fact, I think this past winter with a new season of Doctor Who airing at roughly the same time as Picard is the first time they aired shows simultaneously.
What about the 7th Doctor, Sylvester McCoy? His three seasons were on while TNG was on the air in 1987-1989.
Yeah, I definitely did not notice Enterprise's ending. I had plenty of science fiction fare to keep me busy.
TNG only came to Britain in 1990.
