Webster was a television sitcom produced by Paramount Television which starred child actor Emmanuel Lewis as the title character. The final two seasons of the series ran concurrently with the first and second seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Webtrek"[]

In the 25th and final episode of the sixth season, "Webtrek", which marks also the final episode of the series, Webster is in his bedroom playing a video game on his computer during a rainstorm outside when lightning strikes and he is suddenly beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-D's bridge in the 24th century. It originally aired on 10 March 1989.

There, he meets Worf and the two talk about Webster's previous adventures, as this episode consists of several clips from previous Webster episodes, much like TNG: "Shades of Gray", which aired four months later. After Webster's joystick was repaired, he was beamed back into his bedroom on Earth in 1989. Waking up in his bed and believing it to all be a dream, he pulls out his newly-repaired joystick from his covers to find a tag on it saying "Repaired and Inspected by No. 6 The Starship Enterprise" indicating that it may not have been a dream at all.

Besides Michael Dorn, who was given "special guest star" credit as "Lt. Worf", regular background performers and stand-ins Dexter Clay, Lorine Mendell, and James G. Becker are featured in this episode reprising their roles from The Next Generation.

One of the clips from a previous episode also contains footage of Ben Vereen in his role of Uncle Phil. [1]
