How long does it take to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation?

The Next Generation is 178 episodes and about 134 hours, more than double the Original Series. Seasons one and two are widely skipped, which removes roughly 37 hours. Because it was made for first-run syndication rather than a network, the episode length is a consistent 45 minutes throughout, which makes the arithmetic unusually trustworthy. It is the largest single Star Trek series by episode count and the one most often watched in full.
