If it was done right. Whether it could get ratings in the current splintered tv landscape is another matter. (Does Nielsen even factor in online viewing?) The conditions that allowed TNG to thrive no longer exist.

Maybe a miniseries, or a series of direct to video movies? The studio may be leery of ever having a Trek show on the air at the same time a feature film is in theaters again.
I think Dorn's "Captain Worf" idea as a miniseries would be cool. And if it worked like BSG's miniseries did, then take it to series. But you're also right in that the casual viewer might be confused by having a series taking place in a different timeline than the movies coming out at the same time.

Yes, I know that Superman Returns came out while Smallville was on the air. I still think people might have been confused.

 

A show where Worf is captain of a Starfleet vessel would have to remain cannon to the new films anyway - He wasn't a captain at the point where Romulus comploded and Spock and Nero were sucked back one hundred and whatever years.

Star Trek [2009] has roots in the Prime timeline - it's just one long-ass time travel episode that hasn't yet been resolved.

It's kinda funny you mention WORF and confusion in the same breath when he himself was in movies and a tv show [DS9] AT THE SAME TIME ;) - and in different time periods to boot - see First Contact.

and yeah, the whole STV and STVI coming out during TNG. If an audience can handle that I'm sure things will be fine.

Maybe a mini-series to clear up how he could be in so many places at the same time? ;)
