On September 28th 1987, Star Trek TNG Season 1 premiered in broadcast syndication.

One thing I found amusing upon recently re-watching season 1 was the hydraulic lift.
I think in the beginning the almighty network was not yet convinced that TNG was going to be a financial success. It showed in wardrobe and sets in comparison to later seasons.
So they had this lift in engineering. You can tell it cost a bit of money. I swear every single crew member was on that damn lift at some point during the pilot.
