More like 42 years, if you count the animated series' syndication, TOS syndication, the movies, the movies' syndication, THEN TNG, TOS, DS9, the subsequent syndication of all three, then the TNG movies and their syndication, etc etc etc.
Then The Star Trek Experience, Mister Spock's Wocky-Os cereal (not really, but it gets silly after this long), the video games, the cons, the books, the action figures and toys, only to all be silenced by the forces of Bakula, captain of Enterprise, destroyer of worlds and the space/time continuum.
At least back in the day when only 1/2 of America had basic cable, and everyone else had to use rabbit ears to tune in to broadcast TV, you had a 50/50 chance of not having to see ANYTHING Star Trek related. Ahhhh, the good old days. When you could cut your Star Trek intake with repeats of Night Court and Small Wonder, which in turn would make you look FORWARD to Star Trek.
Hey you kids! Get off my bridge!
And they wonder why people can't associate with a floating old folks home in space anymore.
