I've been burning my way through TNG all weekend. I never really got a chance to watch it when I was a kid (the rest of the family always vetoed my desire to watch "that show with the guy with the brains outside of his head"). Now I'm watching and laughing at the first instances of the now-cliché episode types: "holodeck malfunction", "alien culture forces crewmember into single combat", "Q does arbitrary random thing", "Wesley gets his ego stroked".

They're classics. I can't wait for ToS to arrive :-)
