From the very beginning. People back in the day were complaining that not only was this Patrick Stewart some poncy theatre bloke instead of someone with real television experience, but he was bald, for goodness sakes.

Though it wasn't bad because Patrick Stewart was a theatre actor, nor because he was bald. The issues tended to be more with Roddenberry's rules against having interpersonal conflict amongst the crew, or scripts that weren't very good/not written with the TNG crew in mind.
That is a matter of personal opinion, though. People clearly like it enough that we got multiple shows in the current run, rather than it being put away and forgotten about.
