Commentary: Trek Stars 111: The Glory Years of TNG

Taylor, Part 6: Recap.   Over the course of 15 years, Jeri Taylor worked as a writing producer in television. In that time, a definite progression of thematic elements can be seen running through each of her shows. Timely social issues, procedural crimefighers, and strong women are present all the way back in her episodes of Quincy, M.E., and come to the forefront in her final television creation, Star Trek: Voyager.   In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike recap their series on Taylor's career. We look at her work on Quincy, M.E., Blue Thunder, Magnum, P.I., In the Heat of the Night, Jake and the Fat Man, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Voyager. We also discuss the latest candidates for the STAR TR3Kdirector's chair.   Running Time: 1 hour 4 minutes 47 seconds   Hosts Mike Schindler and John Mills   Editor and Producer Mike Schindler   Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen   Associate Producer Become one!
