Oh dude, me, so me.
TNG was the Trek of my childhood. There's something to appreciate about all of them though. TOS has the most enduring friendship angle, TNG was the only sequel that can be said to rival TOS in terms of mainstream popularity plus Patrick Stewart was the franchise's most distinguished actor at the time, DS9 was the darker and less morally black & white Star Trek, Voyager had the first female captain and also the main villain species was led by a female as well, and it had a terrific initial premise (although I think it didn't fulfill its potential). The only one I don't know is the last one, Enterprise, and per an earlier comment I actually think that one's the least cool to like.
They all have their flaws too, and the franchise in general. But it's the big geek love of my childhood and I'll always have my soft spot for it.
