September 1995 to May 1996
Voyager's first full (very full - 26 episode) season. Also a season that suffered from affiliate fallout, leaving many fans stranded without access.
For me, the year was a bit frustrating because of the lengthy "stealth" arcs involving Tom Paris, Michael Jonas, the Kazon. Some episodes I loved; others, not so much (to put it mildly). But I was hooked.
Moving to Missouri, to a market that didn't have a UPN affiliate, didn't help matters.
