I seem to remember reading somewhere years and years ago that the space ghost was an actual lawyer, not a full blown actor. As for TNG, no matter how hard I tried, I could never get into that show, I think I only watched a quarter of the episodes and liked only one of the four feature films (First Contact). Maybe it's just me, but there was an overwhelming air of pomposity and pretentiousness to TNG that rubbed me the wrong way from jump street and made liking the show difficult, and that mindset never changed for as long as it ran.
