Dunno if it's been mentioned anywhere, but there's a new series coming in 2017.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

I was never really a trekkie, but last year I was watching a lot of sci-fi, so my girlfriend recommended I check out TNG, after we went to see "Into Darkness" at the theater. So I checked it out... took me a while to warm up to it, but I've been slowly making my way through the series ever since.

I can't sleep without noise, so I throw on a few episodes before I lay down. I do this with this particular show because I've seen it so much, there is nothing I've missed. I can just listen to it and know exactly what's going on. There's no random sitting up to see what is happening or anything.
That's a weird coincidence. I'm similar to you (with the sleep / noise thing) and I used TNG to fall asleep for much of the last year. Girlfriend called it "Trekquil."
Used Law and Order for a while. That one's not too bad. lol Or, like you said, anything you've seen a million times.

Why do you need noise to sleep?
Mine is for 2 reasons.. There are a lot of repetitive noises in my house, and repetitive noises drive me nuts (trying to sleep or not). My A/C makes a noise that sounds exactly like a dripping faucet into a bowl of water.. (Not the only one that bugs me, just an example) Every single drip is more annoying than the last, there is no platuea, it just keeps getting more annoying and keeping my focus ever better. Eventually I can't even think about sleep, I'm just listening for the next one whether I want to focus on it or not.
The other is tinnitus. Something has to drown that shit out. It irritates me faster than the noises.

That's really exciting news! It looks like you have to subscribe to some special CBS services, though.
Quote:
The new program will be the first original series developed specifically for U.S. audiences for CBS All Access, a cross-platform streaming service that brings viewers thousands of episodes from CBS’s current and past seasons on demand, plus the ability to stream their local CBS Television station live for $5.99 per month. CBS All Access already offers every episode of all previous Star Trek television series.

Largely habit, probably. But it started (and kinda perpetuates) because I have the kind of brain that won't leave me the fuck alone, sometimes. Even drugged, my mind can start to dredge up shit that will stress me out, as I'm trying to sleep. In those situations it's just easier to halfway-focus on something else.

Yeah I can't sit through too much of the old stuff(except the movies). TNG is my favorite series as well.

I'm a Trekky through and through for quite some. I remember that toon series from when I was a kid. I love 'em all but I picked DS9 because it had some great characters.

I always thought DS9 was so shit when it was first airing, but when I came back to it as an adult I enjoyed it a lot more. A few actors in the main crew are kind of hammy but there are tons of awesome recurring characters.
Bablyon 5 is another good show that DS9 supposedly ripped off. Similar casting weaknesses in the station crew and the CGI exterior shots are really shitty, but great story arc and supporting characters. Also some of the costume work is really good.

I remember watching DS9 on the local station after midnight on Saturdays as a kid. I was fascinated with Dax and Kira Nerys. Many years later, I figured out that it wasn't so much the show as the ladies in it. I watch it on Netflix from time to time now.
I wish they would make more stuff with the Borg in it. Those Borg are pretty badass.
