It was likely "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as this tends to be the most widely syndicated series and was extremely popular during its run. The lowest rated was "Star Trek: Enterprise" which was canceled after merely four seasons.

The Great Trek was the migration by Dutch settlers away from British control in what is now South Africa.
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
Trek is an Africaans/Dutch word Trekken meaning to march, draw, to pull or journey. Generally refers to the Great Trek of the Boers in South Africa, 1835
The Great Trek was an eastward and north-eastward migration during the 1830s and 1840s of the segment of Afrikaners known as Boers or Boere (Dutch/Afrikaners for "farmers"), who descended from settlers from western mainland Europe, most notably from the Netherlands.The majority of the Boer who took part in the Great Trek had left Europe because of religious discrimination. They generally did not find life under British authority in the Cape Province to be much better. So the great Trek was a search for a Boer homeland where they could live as they wished. In the trek they founded many new colonies, the Orange Free State, the Transvaal and Natalia. They fought the Zulu and other native tribes as well as the British in their search fo a place to live.
The trek Boers were immigrants from Holland and Belgium, many of them fleeing from religious persecution back home.
There is a difference between the Boers and the Afrikaners. People tend to place them together however they are not the same. In the 1830 the Boers wanted to get away from the British and started the "Great Trek" into the rest of what is today South Africa. The Afrikaners did not join the trek and stayed on in the Cape with the British. This being why when the Boers settled in Transvaal and the Orange Free State, they were called Boer Republics not Afrikaner Republics. For political reasons people tend to place the two together today.
