The Love Boat: The Next Generation
The Love Boat: The Next Generation (often abbreviated to LB:TNG) is the third live-action Star Trek TV series and second live-action Love Boat series, set in the 24th century. It was a follow-up of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Love Boat. Like its predecessors, it was created by Gene Roddenberry and Aaron Spelling respectively. Produced at Paramount Pictures, it aired on NBC for one evening in February 1994. The series led to two spin-offs in the "TNG era": Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.
The Love Boat: The Next Generation took place sometime during TNG Season 5. The series inexplicably depicted the crew of the USS Enterprise-D operating a Federation cruise ship, the Pacific Princess.
