Got to Season 3 of DS9. This is where the fun begins/it grows the beard.

I'm halfway through Season 6, and - IMO - the beard has definately developed a lot of gray at this point. I don't think I'm going to stick around to watch it turn white with "Tears of the Prophets" and Season 7.

I think season 6 is one of its best, and, despite some definite missteps in season 7, it's still overall pretty strong (remember that TNG had lost quite a bit of its sheen by season 7 as well) with some really good episodes ("The Siege of AR-558" and "It's Only a Paper Moon" spring immediately to mind, and "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is perhaps my favorite guilty pleasure) and an amazing 10 episode arc to conclude the series.
