I'm surprised to see TNG fare so poorly. In previous similar polls I remember TNG and DS9 doing about equally well.

Others have mentioned DS9 picking up popularity in syndication or from DVD. That probably has something to do with it.

I think a lot of that also comes down to the fact that DS9's serialized format and (sometimes) darker, morally ambiguous themes are more in line with today's common programming. Not that TNG isn't a great show (at the time, it was certainly more popular than DS9)...but I think that current audiences are more likely to view DS9 as being superior.

Also, I think DS9 was hurt at the time it came out because it was so contrarian. Now that it's 2015 and not 1993, I think it's a lot easier for fans to accept a different kind of Star Trek
 
1. Deep Space Nine
2. The Next Generation
3. TOS and Voyager

ENT: I only watched single episodes and never warmed to it.
 
Seems to me that years ago, Niners ruled this place. DS9 consistently won this poll when it was brought up.

Looks like the TOS fans are back in big numbers, now!

Yup. Sisko won every favorite Captain poll and DS9 was atop all the favorite series polls. I guess with no new material, those folks have moved onto other things.

Which is ironic since he was only captain for four seasons.

Didn't he get promoted to captain when they got the Defiant at the beginning of season three?

No, it was in The Adversary, the episode that preceded The Way Of The Warrior that started season 4.
