First of, excuse the spelling errors I am a little drunk at the moment.  I have seen through out my life severla episodes of Star Trek The Origional Serise, Star Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek Deep SPace Nine and recently Star Trek Enterprise.  I have never seen Star Trek Voager.  I saw the recent movie Star Trek and instantly became obssed with the Star Trek universe, too the point wear I record every epiisode that comes on in a day.
I first purchased the origional serise ans watched the first fifteen episode and loved them.  I bougt every movie on Blu Ray and DVD.  Than I bought evey movie and then only one I have ever watched is the new one and Generations.  I bought the entire origional serise and watched 14 episodes.  I bought the entire serise of the next generation and enterprise.  Than I boght the animated serise and watched the fisrst episode.  I just ordered deep space ninee and voyager.

My quistion is should I watch the episode in chronolgical order, Enterprise, origional,animated, next  generatioon, deep space nine or the order that they were made in.
Actually I want to do it in order and from the most exciting p[oint in Star Trek.  So were hould I start in chronlogical or productiojn order .  What is the most Exciting point to star in all of the serise.  I hear towards thd of deep space nine coorect mee if I am wrongI alredy will own verthing sson.  Tske intto account It is my first time watching.  What is betterr seeing it in chronolical order or prouction order.  Keep in mind I might be one of th of the first people to see it in chronolgical order.  I would haver loved to seeStar Wars that way!

lol.  At least you're having fun.  Hmm, most exciting point, that's a hard one.  Personally, I'd watch the Original Series first and go onto Next Generation.  From there on, they seem to be separate, no real connection with the others where you have to watch in order or anything...Deep Space Nine had a bit of crossover with TNG, but if you watch it after, you'll be fine.  To me, those first two (not counting the animated, here), really set up the whole series.

The only one I never really watched was Enterprise...somehow, never really got into that one.

Well, there's continuity, but you don't really have to watch one before the other for the later ones...obviously Enterprise is set before TNG, but the other two are kind of set apart from the rest of the Federation...DS9, deals mainly with the Cardassians whereas Voyager is off by themselves...too far away to contact the rest of the Federation, so there isn't much crossover.

The original series started and ended in the 1960s. Then, to keep the book franchise moving, most of the original actors joined as they made the Animated series. Chronologically, it belongs after TOS and before Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

After the animated series, they made Star Trek I-IV, then, before Star Trek V was released, Star Trek: The Next Generation began airing. The first two seasons of Deep Space Nine aired at the same time as the final two seasons of TNG, while the original cast members were creating Star Trek V and VI. Generations was the farewell to TOS characters, and brought TNG characters into the film franchise. So, while DS9 was airing, Generations, First Contact, and Insurrection were released.

Voyager aired from 1995 to 2001, while DS9 was still on, and First Contact ond Insurrection were released.

Enterprize started just before Nemisis was released.

The new film, Star Trek, was released after everything else.

I would watch them in the order they were released. There were stories which jumped from TNG to DS9.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Drunk eh?  Was it blue?  Perhaps you had some Romulan Ale.  You should know though that Romulan Ale is illegal in the Federation.  Although that didn't stop Kirk from drinking some vintage Romulan Ale dated 2283, what a rebel!

Or, perhaps it was Andorian Ale?  Also blue.

Not blue?  Perhaps you had a sip of Saurian Brandy?

Poo

PS - Why do I know so much about Trek alcohol.....  I don't even drink!

As long as you're drunk, the order doesn't really matter.

There was a similar question to this (fairly) recently.  Can't find the thread even with a Google search, but in that thread someone posted a very concise watch order which even went into detail about which order to watch the TNG and DS9 episodes regarding their crossover points.

Might be worth having a look for that thread.

I can't find it either. Maybe it was removed. What I can find is this more general account of the order in which to watch Star Trek.
