Just in time for its twenty-fifth anniversary, Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> will be released in high-def Blu-ray.<\/p>\n

For fans of The Next Generation<\/em>, 2012 will be a good year, with the release of the first season towards the end of the year. But fans will get a taste of what to expect with a sampler to be released January 21, 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“All 178 episodes from seven seasons will be transferred to true high-definition 1080p for release on Blu-ray and eventual runs on television and digital platforms both domestically and internationally,” said the CBS Home Entertainment press release.<\/p>\n

“Fans have been clamoring for a high-definition release of Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> for years,” said Ken Ross<\/strong>, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS Home Entertainment. “Transferring the series to high-definition presented difficult technical challenges, but our team has come up with a process to create true 1080p HD masters with true HD visual effects. We can\u2019t wait to show fans how pristine the series looks and sounds with our upcoming Blu-ray releases.”<\/p>\n

The first full season won’t be available until late in 2012, but a sampler disc, Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Next Level<\/em>, will release next month. The Next Leve<\/em>l will include the pilot episode, Encounter at Farpoint<\/em>, as well as Sins of the Father<\/em> (S3) and fan-favorite The Inner Light<\/em> (S5).<\/p>\n

“One of the most popular series in the Star Trek<\/em> franchise, Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2012. It premiered in first-run syndication during the week of September 28, 1987 and ran through 1994.<\/p>\n

“Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> won numerous accolades, including 18 Emmy awards, and was the first \u2013 and only \u2013 syndicated television show to be nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series for its seventh season. It was also ranked #46 on TV Guide\u2019s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time list in 2002.”<\/p>\n
