Two questions:
1.) What is terrible about the first season and why is is considered 'bad?'

2.) When did TNG was considered to 'improve' or become better?

For the record, I don't think "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was ever terrible at all. I enjoy all the episodes! (Though I don't necessarily agree with all the messages in all of them.)
It was resurrecting a by then popular TV show (note that "Star Trek" wasn't all that popular in the 1960s when it first aired- but the fan conventions and subsequent movies helped make it more popular)- and so it was very tricky to navigate such a course successfully. I think ST:TNG pulled it off pretty well. Sure, some of the first season episodes draw from the Original Series, but that's not such a bad thing. The only really obvious example for this that I can think of is "The Naked Now" and just it because it used the same phenomenom from "The Naked Time", I don't think that's a bad thing. It's a nice tie back to the Original Series which fans generally enjoy.
Overall, I love ST:TNG- it's my favorite Star Trek series by far [probably mainly because I grew up watching this one first as it originally aired], though I do enjoy all the others as well.
