(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 was released on VHS in the UK by CIC Video in two different formats: a two-episode-per-tape release in 1990-1991, and a three-episode-per-tape release in 1998. The original release was deleted on 1 January 1998.

A rental release also took place starting from early 1988. While it generally followed the original broadcast order there were a few differences. Two episodes of the season, "Too Short A Season" and "Home Soil" for unknown reasons were not released in this run. At least the first two volumes were also released on Betamax.
A four-episode-per-tape release also took place in the 1990s, exclusive to Blockbuster Video. This release did not take account of season divisions, and so the volume containing the last episodes of a season would sometimes also include the first episodes of the next.
