Well as always, your milage may vary. :)

But, at a certain point we're just shaving nanometers of awful and I'm 
not sure they deserve that kind of attention.  They all had some stuff I 
liked and a lot of stuff I didn't.  If this were an official ranking 
senate I wouldn't filibuster placing Enterprise last, but I wouldn't 
really care what the order of TNG, Voager, or Enterprise.  Since, I 
think it's TOS, a gap DS9, and then a big gap and the rest.  But if TOS 
is first in quality, then I'm happy enough.  If others can find a reason 
to differentiate then I say have at it.

But as Dennis Miller says, "Hey that's just my opinion, I could be 
wrong".  Except not about the TOS. :)
