Remember, there was a huge pent-up demand for a new Star Trek TV series when TNG came out. To the degree that many, myself included, were willing to overlook a rather uneven Season One.
I assume that's been less the case for the newer Star Trek universe series. I don't actually know the numbers but the TV landscape is too different to really compare anyway.
Added: As someone who remembers watching TNG when it first came out, my recollection is that the reaction to "Encounter at Farpoint" (S1E1) was along the lines of a bit disappointing but certainly has promise. And it's new Star Trek on TV!
