“We're thrilled to be able to introduce ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation' to a new generation,” said Ken Ross, executive vice president and general manager of CBS Home Entertainment, in a news release. “Seeing the episodes in a theater setting is the perfect way to show off the pristine picture that high definition allows and launch the first season on Blu-ray.”
