I've recently watched TOS season 3, where the show was dying and the budget slashed.On to the start of season 2 of TNG and actually I would say the first season was rather better than my memory, by the last third of so does get a good deal closer to the classic tone of the show than I remember although granted the "say no to drugs!" speech form Tasha is probably the most dated thing in the entire series.
I spose part of the issue there is that a lot of those episodes almost feel like dry runs, concepts the show went back to more effectively latter on when it was more established and didn't need to spend so much time on selling its concepts/characters. Its actually the earlier stuff where the show is searching for its style and feeling more like TOS that tend to stick in the mind more because there so different to what we saw latter on, but really there are only a handful of pure cheese episodes.
Some of the scripts are super cheesy, the direction is weird ep by ep, and there are some "so bad it's good" acting moments.
Remember the face Brock made when Reem's shin said hello to his midsection?
That's the look season 3 gives me
