I was on Amazon looking at what people had to say about the various Star Trek shows and decided to see which one was highest rated and which one was lowest rated based on the Amazon reviews.
Out of a five star rating:
TNG - 4.58
TOS - 4.57
DS9 - 4.43
VOY - 4.41
ENT - 4.4
So not really surprising, but also not much of a difference, only a .2 star rating difference between the highest and lowest.
(If anyone is curious The Animated Series has a 4.6 rating on Amazon, but do you guys really want that to be listed at the top?)
Ah, if only we could split voyager and enterprise into two pieces each.. "Early Voyager" and "Late Voyager" plus "Early Enterprise" and "Late Enterprise". I think the scores might change a bit then
I think the break down is a fair reflection. After all, for the younger folks TNG was the 1st Trek they were exposed to. And there are more of us younger people out their so more votes.
TOS is the fabled and venerated founding of the series and has the votes of the older generation most likely.
DS9, VOY, and ENT lose steam and rating for revolving around a war and religion (DS9), being a crazy remake of Lost in Space (VOY), and being a prequel (ENT). Also writing and story quality noticeably declines as you move down the line.
So while the OP shows that there is only a 0.18 difference between the top and lowest rated shows according Amazon ratings, that is a huge difference.
