TNG Season 1. It had some good episodes such as 11001001 and Arsenal of Freedom, but for the most part it was a dreadful attempt at imitating TOS.

I went with TNG season one because the endings of each episode were so abrupt. After watching it I imagined someone on the set shouting "2 minutes left. End it now. Hurry. Hurry!"
Ditto..that was the worst season by far. And it showed why GR had step down. His concept of TV was out-dated.

Imitating TOS? TNG was nothing like TOS. If anything it was the anti-TOS. Klingons were now allies, bald captain who was strictly prime-directive and all diplomatic,a woman doctor,a blind navigator who became the chief engineer, shows that were all about going from planet to planet and teaching their brand of morality.... I just don't see the comparison. It's two totally different shows.
ENT season 3 for me. Seriously tested my loyalty. And then season 4 was so awesome.
I just started watching TNG again from the beginning, from Encounter at Far Point. (Geeeez, Gene Roddenbery at his sappiest). And, I don't think it has aged very well. I haven't watched this for YEARS. The characters are pretty good. Picard is great, Tasha Yar is fantastic (and I am a straight woman, but if I weren't...... yeah) but I have to say that Troi is even more irritating than I remembered. And Wesley.... well.....
But the next two episodes were such blatant TOS rehashes. Good Lord.
So I may have to revise my vote.... maybe things will improve. I know I remember some kick ass stuff. Maybe it was a different season.
Oh, and edited to add: if the saucer section separates, and the nacelles are in the other section, what is the saucer section's propulsion?????

Voyager Season 7. Just thinking about Endgame makes me mad sometimes.
ENT's second season deserves all the negative praise it gets!
Had to go with DS9 season one on this.
tng s1 definatly gets my vote like others have said it's almost unwatchable, well in my eyes anyways. mind you enterprise season 3 kinda made my eyes glaze over in boredom too
...but that same season spawned "Q Who?" "Elementary, Dear Data", "A Matter of Honor", and "Measure of a Man"!

"Data is a toaster. Have him report to Commander Maddox immediately for experimental refit."
I had to go with ENT-S2, because while there were some episodes I really enjoyed (and re-watch quite willingly!), there was a stream of utter mind-numbing boredom that made me stop watching the series altogether. Luckily a scifi channel marathon caught me again during S3! 
Yes, and that was the problem.
Episodes like "Angel One", "Code of Honor", and "Naked Now" kept trying to do TOS-style stories with TNG, with terrible results. TNG became good when the writers started getting a grasp on TNG's own strengths.
I was between TOS-3 and TNG-1, but ended up picking the former. There are good episodes in that season, no doubt, but I hardly ever watch it, so that's basically why.
