* The original Star Trek pilot episode aired for the first time in syndication in 1988

Notes:
The above rating information is the average for each season using data from new episodes only.

In cases where the number of viewers are not available, a very rough estimate can be made by multiplying the number of households by 1.5.

For syndicated shows (The Next Generation & Deep Space Nine), the TV stations had an option to air each episode a second time. The regular rating and the GAA rating are both cumulative and include viewers from both airings of each episode. The difference is that the GAA rating includes duplicate viewers (people who watch both airings are counted once in the regular rating and twice in the GAA rating).

For UPN shows (Voyager & Enterprise), similar to syndicated shows, the TV stations had an option to air each episode a second time (on the weekend). But all the rating information (except the GAA rating) is only for the regular time slot airings of episodes on the UPN primary affiliates. Secondary affiliates, weekend repeat airing of episodes and delayed airings due to pre-emptions are not included. The national coverage for the UPN primary affiliates varies each season. The GAA rating includes all affiliates and all airings of episodes, including duplicate viewers.

While the regular ratings for syndicated and UPN shows are very different (and therefore should not be compared directly), the GAA ratings are similar. The UPN GAA ratings are usually not reported but they are generally 40% higher than the regular ratings, so an estimate can be made based on that.
