TNG aired in 1987, so it's only 37 years. Whomever it was that wrote that headline stretched a bit to generate some extra clicks. Yeah, TAS ended in 1974, but there's still 13 years in between where there was no Star Trek, which is apparently getting lumped into the Star-Trek-that-Riker-has-shown-up-in bundle.

I mean, that's technically correct then. The last time there was a Trek Show without Frakes was 1974 (50 years ago)

Phrased differently, "it has been 50 years since a Star Trek show ended without a Jonathan Frakes appearance."

Technically correct is the best kind of correct!!

The last year there was a star trek show without frakes was the year before tng was released...

Technically the were no trek shows between TOS and TNG, so technically the last trek show without Frakes would be when TOS ended.

It's technically correct as long as reruns don't count, and you exclude movies, etc.... Hence "show".

It's all riding a line of being technically correct.

They are counting the time spent as a twinkle in his mom's eye.
