This is what I loved about TNG the 2 most serious characters were played by comedians, the whole cast in itself had a chemistry that is rarely seen today.
I love how Patrick was laughing & crying at the same time. Clearly, he remembered that day! What made this show so good was how well the cast got along. It takes a good team to make a good show!
Good writing also, which really didn’t take off until 3rd season. Better character development and by that time the cast was getting more cohesive as a team
@@jamesbutke1438 That 3rd season is incredible. Peak Trek, peak sci-fi television. That said, I do think the 2nd season (and I know many really don't like Pulaski, but while not as likeable as Crusher, she was definitely a stronger personality for others on the show to react to) helped to lay the groundwork for it after a 1st season that had been a little too focused on trying to recreate TOS. The 2nd season focuses more on human drama and developing the characters than the 1st season did. Looking back on it, I actually do like the 2nd season and despite the infamous Shades of Gray clipshow episode and the fact that Pulaski made most people clamor for the return of Crusher, I think it was a better and more enjoyable season than the 1st.
Yeah totally unprofessional, over paid, over rated, and under worked.. If anyone else took that long to get the job done in any other profession, you'd be sacked on the spot... BLOODY GROW UP.
LOL, Michael and Brent are legends. I'm glad that Patrick has even talked about how he started to enjoy acting more and show his humor after he started working TNG.
I just saw a little clip of Mirina Sirtis talking about how serious Patrick Stewart was for the first few months of the series but relaxed after the seeming barrage of hilarity that happened on set.
Remember, Michael had prosthetics on his face and fake teeth in his mouth. Brent was covered in gold-white body paint. And *they're* the ones making it take hours! I'd just be like "Come on guys, the sooner we get this done the sooner your faces can be free."
I watched an interview recently with Rick Berman where he said the cast of this show, of all the shows, is the only one where everyone is still close friends all these years later. You can really see it here.
They had the gift of being the show that came along at the right time. The was just enough nostalgia for TOS and the movies helped keep it in America's consciousness. Being a highly rated, well-received and financially stable show will always help the actors make the most of their tenure there, which includes being good coworkers. Most of the ones coming after were more forced on the public, too soon to be missed, and with uncertain futures. Eventually there ended up a glut of ST series on the air. 🤷 But I could be wrong.
@@generalzod8589 You know he's a jerk, but she's lovely and sweet? When did you meet her? In all his scenes, even blooper reels, he seems to be friendly with the cast. I'm sure he made his share of bloopers (an android?) so maybe she laughed at him and got angry. BTW, where did you get all this information?
Actors in stage plays pull tricks on each other; mainly trying to keep alert in the play, which may go on for months. I remember an actress talking about a fellow player who was always pranking her. He had arranged for a telephone to be rung during a scene so she would be interrupted in her lines. Without a beat, she picked up the phone, listened and then turning to him said, "It's for you".
I didn't expect Patrick Stewart to be such a sweet old man, having only watched through TNG recently and seeing stoic Picard... What a lovely treasure Patrick is 😆
He has softened a TON with age. Legend has it that in the first season of TNG he was a complete jerk to everyone, and then he came around on them and has been softening ever since (while still being a stellar actor who can go stoic when he needs to).
@@roguishpaladin Yeah, he was very serious. Hell, one time he caught a episode of Red Dwarf, was about to call the lawyers, when he realized he was laughing his ass off watching it.
@@MilesLougheed It would be interesting to see what would have happened had she stayed onboard throughout the series run. Worf wouldn't have become Chief of Security and his character arc may have turned out different. 🤔
When I see videos of Michael Dorn I can't even get my mind around him as Worf. Amazing makeup, amazing acting, and that VOICE! I suspect he's really a shape-shifter.
It's really hard to look at Michael Dorn and not think of Worf. It's crazy because Worf is one of the least insane thing about Dorne, he was also a fighter pilot. He didnt _play_ a pilot, he _is_ a pilot. And an actor. And a silly man with latex all over his face. And a giant black man who can probably kick most of our asses. And hes a giant goofball. A goofballing, giant, ass kicking pilot.
@@arthas640 My main issue is usually "That can't be Worf! This dude's black! And Worf.... oh wait...." I have no idea what it is but Klingons just aren't black to me.
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse it's probably because the white and black actors get the same colored make up so they all come out looking ambiguously tan.
This story happened during the second-last episode of TNG. Star Trek was in high gear at this point: ending TNG, Generations just about to start filming, DS9 in production and VOY in pre-production and also about to start. You know that there was a lot of pressure at Paramount to keep all these balls in the air and here you have these two goofs blowing take after take. LOL I love it!!!
Looking at them now, they should have cast Patrick Stewart as the android, he's the only one in the crew that hasn't aged in any seriously visible way. Reminds me of a meme I saw about him and Sean Connery, showing pictures of both before and after 20 years time, the caption being "Once you reach max level, you just stop leveling".....
Patrick has the same magic ability as Weird Al. They looked the same in the 80's as they do now, and I can't tell if it's because they looked older than they were then or if it's because they look younger than they are now. Or both.
@Supernintendo Chalmers Have you all SEEN Keanu Reeves? He hasn't even aged. I mean like at all! He just grew that stupid beard. It looks like he'll be here forever! I, I just don't know if I can handle that!
Also Will Smith. On the other hand, Brent has aged a _lot_ . I can see why he was hesitant to reprise Data, a character who should not have aged. Especially in someone's dreams.
I've met more of TOS cast than TNG cast! Of course, they never were at the conventions I went to, or at least by the time I started going to one by me, they hadn't been there for a while.
Patrick gets the praise of being the ACTOR, Brent is an incredible and gifted you really think he's not human and when as data he acts human is hilarious and perfect.
Brent's biggest flaw is that he makes it look incredibly easy. People often overlook his talent because it's so effortless for him that you forget he's acting. He should get far more praise than he gets for his talents (acting, singing, dancing, comedy).
DUDE I like that idea!!! Especially seeing how Brent gets under Patrick's skin alot. Or Riker and Troy would be if on the show they made it they hooked up and then became very bitter afterwards!?
So, I doubt you could ever get them to do this as a full series....but can you imagine if you sold them on it as a one-time video with proceeds for charity?
It took one hell of an excellent crew to make a show that lasted 7 seasons ! I still rewatch episodes on DVD. Thanks to the whole crew for all your great work!
You're such a great family guys...you can tell there's nothing but absolute love, respect, and admiration among all of them....I thank you from the bottom of my heart for 7 great seasons....Trutrekkie518🖖
In the reality of the story, they were "pretending" to look for a Bajoran terrorist, when it was Ro undercover. But still, it was a silly idea since if they were really looking for her, they'd spot her immediately.
@jemimallah The goofing may have been because of how absurd it was for them to play offices fake looking for someone they already knew. That scene must have put their humour muscles into turbo.
Star Trek is the ultimate cure for depression. I was a devout viewer of TNG back in my teens. There's so much love and good humor that went into the show, thanks largely to these folks, that it's impossible to stay in a bad mood after a few hours of the episodes or even the films. That goes for the Picard crew as well as Kirk's, I think. And, let's be honest here, Worf really is THE BEST KLINGON EVER!
I've been listening to podcasts about various other 2nd gen Star Trek shows, and none of them really had as much fun as these folks! So much love in this cast, it really feels like a family😊
The integrity, chemistry, wonderful friendship, and LOVE this cast has for one another and all of us fans is just a freaking BEAUTIFUL thing to behold. The actors fell in love with this show and for good reason. YEARS later, they're close friends -- close like family and they knew both on-set and off that there needs to be a balance between professionalism and laughter because science fiction is often just so absurd that you *have* to bring levity into the quantum equation. (see what I did there?) THIS is what life is about, folks - integrity, love, joy in one's work, laughter, memories, the joy we bring to others, and the bonds we make with people . Gene Roddenberry would be proud to see ALL of this. This is, to me, what Star Trek is all about.
Oh, so nice to see how funny Michael Dorn is. Worf was always my favourite character. His grunts and constant bad mood. I love him. Now I love them both.
@@NitpickingNerd I remember an interview where she speaks of that while she was on Earth Final Conflict. She could barely handle it telling the story because she was laughing so hard from the memories.
There are a lot of shows you hear members of the cast didn’t get along. This is one of the few where they all got along even if it was the production team that wore them out. Not every producer on the show was the best to work with. But the cast obviously loved working with each other
I love when I hear something new about Star Trek that I never heard before! I don't think I'll ever be able to watch that scene without laughing again lol
Of all the Star Trek casts, TNG is the one where they truly became buds. I love that. I’ll never forget the way Michael Dorn described the difference when he transferred over to DS9.
I always get a sense that these guys truly loved each other, which made their performances that much more credible on screen. Would LOVE to see at least a few of them make an appearance in the upcoming Star Trek Picard series.
@@nickm5419 In an ideal world, true. But it would depend on what these guys are willing to do. Would love to see them all in the pilot at least, but I'll take what I can get.
@@MaestroRigale It's too bad that most of the Next Gen movies were not well received by the public because I would have loved to see these guys all together again a few more times.
Well, we're up to a Spiner, a Frakes, and a Sirtis. That ain't bad. I know they're deeply resisting the story becoming TNG 2.0, though, and that's a good thing. These characters were part of Picard's life but they didn't define him - except, perhaps, in that Data defined his perception of sentient artificial life (and so would end up getting a little more screen time).
I THINK in "Fistful of Datas" where Alexander and Worf do a wild wild west adventure on the Holodeck? One of the characters Data plays in that ep sounds like his character from Night Court.
@@scottweber3072 I always thought so. I love it when the feedback (or whatever) from the holodeck hits Data, and he says to Picard "I reckon!" I just about hit the floor laughing. Such a fun episode!
It’s so wonderful how close the cast are - it always made me sad that in the original that wasn’t the case at all! Perhaps it’s all thanks to the gracefulness with which Patrick Stewart would lead!
It’s funny because they didn’t like Patrick at first becuase he was the stuffy English Shakespearean pro while the others were having fun while they worked. But then they got him to open up and he became the worst of the lot for the winding people up. 🤣 General consensus is that the TOS cast all hated Shatner, TNG are best friends for life, DS9 they were professional with each other with Odo/Quark becoming best friends in real life and O’Brien being good friends with Keiko and Bashir and Sisko and Jake being close, and then on Voyager they all got along with the Dr but with each other it was a bit frosty.
omg, dorn was setting that UP! i went to grab my water, and, thankfully, he hit the punchline! Water woulda been spit all over my phone if he didn't get to that accent, lmao!! God, those two are hilarious!!!😂😂😂✌💗
Despite laughing and wishing not to be put in a similar situation as this I can't help but want a similar sense of camaraderie from my fellow work team. 😭
Dorn:"Okay what about two german guys? Okay Ja ja" Spiner:[Intentionally bad german accent]"We are looking for a woman, she look like something just like that." Anyone else get 'Allo 'Allo! vibes from that?
Nicest guys you could ever meet. We were at a show business event and both were there along with Marina Sirtis. The three of them were always joking. 1988 or 89
What I really love about TNG's cast is that over the years - especially after the show ended - they've remained close friends, like an extended family. You can see, hear, and feel how much they truly love each other so much. I'm sure along the way they had fights and disagreements and moments when they must've been asking themselves why did I join up with these people, but at the end of the day, they can sit down and go through those memories of bad stuff, idiotic stiff, stupid and immature stuff that they all did all those years ago and genuinely laugh about it together.
@aljohn. She had that tough not taking shit from anybody: (not feminist strong, but red Sonja kind of strong), kind of hotness. A sexiness soy boys could never fathom!
This sounds totally insane. Imagining these two guys in full makeup, stepping into the scene, and just totally deliberately blowing it out of character... just because. Absolutely hilarious. I wish I could see the footage. 😆

It's funny how the 2 most serious characters on the show have the best sense of humors.
I thought the same. In at least 75% of all the bloopers, fuck ups and what nots, there is at least one of them.
Ironic
That's usually how things go on most shows.
Tim Russ who plays Tuvok on Voyager is also funny as hell at these panels.

I would pay to see a blooper reel of that. I so wish that existed.🤣
I was in college watching this series.
Great job to all who stared and made it a addition to the original
God I love this cast so much
Cassie M. Their camaraderie and joy are infectious. It’s always a pleasure seeing how much they all love each other.
Of all the Star Trek casts, TNG is the one where they truly became buds. I love that. I’ll never forget the way Michael Dorn described the difference when he transferred over to DS9.
I always get a sense that these guys truly loved each other, which made their performances that much more credible on screen. Would LOVE to see at least a few of them make an appearance in the upcoming Star Trek Picard series.
You cant have a post TNG series without the rest of the original cast :)
@@nickm5419 In an ideal world, true. But it would depend on what these guys are willing to do. Would love to see them all in the pilot at least, but I'll take what I can get.
You’re not wrong. They really seem so genuinely happy to see one another and reminisce.
@@MaestroRigale It's too bad that most of the Next Gen movies were not well received by the public because I would have loved to see these guys all together again a few more times.
Well, we're up to a Spiner, a Frakes, and a Sirtis. That ain't bad. I know they're deeply resisting the story becoming TNG 2.0, though, and that's a good thing. These characters were part of Picard's life but they didn't define him - except, perhaps, in that Data defined his perception of sentient artificial life (and so would end up getting a little more screen time).
I needed this today...what a cast! what a show! An amazing family...
Folks sometimes forget that Michael Dorn was a guest star on 227 before being on TNG. Yes, in real life, he has a healthy sense of humor!
And don't forget Brent Spiner was originally on Night Court, as well... (ruclips.net/video/Jd7by2m1VDs/видео.html)
Michal Dorn was also Officer Turner on CHiPs. He had a few moments there, too.
And later, I am Weasel!
I wonder if Spiner ever used his "Night Court" voice during this scene?
I THINK in "Fistful of Datas" where Alexander and Worf do a wild wild west adventure on the Holodeck? One of the characters Data plays in that ep sounds like his character from Night Court.
@@scottweber3072 I always thought so. I love it when the feedback (or whatever) from the holodeck hits Data, and he says to Picard "I reckon!" I just about hit the floor laughing. Such a fun episode!
Hearing Mr Worf speaking in a Cockney accent has just made my evening 😂
I'll never be able to look at that scene the same way again
They walked in like Dumb and Dumber.
I just worked 10 hrs delivering mail and this is the best laugh I’ve had on a while. Damn I loved that show as a kid
Thank you for your service as a government worker,
This truly was the greatest cast of all time
Worf might not be a merry man, but Michael Dorn sure seems to be.
One of my favorite lines of Worf: "Sir, I am not a merry man!" Kills me every time!
It’s so wonderful how close the cast are - it always made me sad that in the original that wasn’t the case at all! Perhaps it’s all thanks to the gracefulness with which Patrick Stewart would lead!
It’s funny because they didn’t like Patrick at first becuase he was the stuffy English Shakespearean pro while the others were having fun while they worked. But then they got him to open up and he became the worst of the lot for the winding people up. 🤣
General consensus is that the TOS cast all hated Shatner, TNG are best friends for life, DS9 they were professional with each other with Odo/Quark becoming best friends in real life and O’Brien being good friends with Keiko and Bashir and Sisko and Jake being close, and then on Voyager they all got along with the Dr but with each other it was a bit frosty.
They are still friends after all these years and having fun discussing their experiences in the set.
Michael Dorn looks so different without his Worf makeup.
I think you have that backwards;)
@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 You mean Worf looks so different without his Michael Dorn makeup? Lol
omg, dorn was setting that UP! i went to grab my water, and, thankfully, he hit the punchline! Water woulda been spit all over my phone if he didn't get to that accent, lmao!! God, those two are hilarious!!!😂😂😂✌💗
Hearing a british accent come out of Worfs and Datas face must have been hilarious!!!
Despite laughing and wishing not to be put in a similar situation as this I can't help but want a similar sense of camaraderie from my fellow work team. 😭
Dorn:"Okay what about two german guys? Okay Ja ja"
Spiner:[Intentionally bad german accent]"We are looking for a woman, she look like something just like that."
Anyone else get 'Allo 'Allo! vibes from that?
Nicest guys you could ever meet. We were at a show business event and both were there along with Marina Sirtis. The three of them were always joking. 1988 or 89
Patrick Stewart must have been like the older brother constantly being trolled by the younger siblings.
This is a hilarious story. Would love to see some footage of this.
I wish we could see a blooper if them doing this 🤣🤣🤣
They are pure gold and MY crew.
Ensign Ro's outfit is just amazing. And she looks stunning too. What a great costume designer they had, apart from the Star fleet uniform.
What I really love about TNG's cast is that over the years - especially after the show ended - they've remained close friends, like an extended family. You can see, hear, and feel how much they truly love each other so much. I'm sure along the way they had fights and disagreements and moments when they must've been asking themselves why did I join up with these people, but at the end of the day, they can sit down and go through those memories of bad stuff, idiotic stiff, stupid and immature stuff that they all did all those years ago and genuinely laugh about it together.
The funniest vids are the ones where Brent does Picard impressions..:)
They truly were the Next Generation of entertainment so many good memories watching this show 👍👍👍👍
I was waiting for Brent to be like, "I'm not sorry." Lol
Is it me or Dr Crusher still kinda hot
Crusher was never hot. SMH
She finally dat brunette tho
@@davidmoore33 Fuck off, you troll wannabe.
@aljohn. She had that tough not taking shit from anybody: (not feminist strong, but red Sonja kind of strong), kind of hotness. A sexiness soy boys could never fathom!
It’s you.
That was really funny. I can imagine how goofy it can get filming some scenes which are ridiculously planned out.
Dam! Gates McFadden looks wonderful,even after all these years!
she's been to see her plastic surgeon, Dr. Crusher.
After the 100th take...
Brent/Michael: Okay let's do just one more..
Patrick: NO! NOOOOOO!!!
Brent/Michael: You broke your little script.
These guys get along a heck of a lot better than the original cast.
This feels like it could have been a bit on Red Dwarf! Just lovely. :)
They had fun on set. That makes me happy :)
Leigh P. The bloopers and their stories from the show are so heartwarming.
This sounds totally insane. Imagining these two guys in full makeup, stepping into the scene, and just totally deliberately blowing it out of character... just because.
Absolutely hilarious. I wish I could see the footage. 😆
Imagine ever being a family like THIS. 🙂 Imagine having people who actually knew how to enjoy one another's company.
