Enterprise
Chas:
Well, I read that Enterprise fans are pooling their resources and actually trying to pay the studio to keep the program on the air.
I find that odd - I guess they don't uderstand how important the ratings are: if a show doesn't get good ratings, it can't charge enough for advertising. And if it can't charge enough for advertising, the studio will very simply replace it with a show that can and does. It's all about numbers, and those numbers have to be absolutely huge.
I enjoy the few episodes I have seen, but if the viewers aren't there, then the viewers aren't there.
Now - here's a better idea: come up with a story line that gets people upset. Sort of like what happens here when people say that TP is better than FF or something. Get some controversy going. Look at what happened when Ellen Degenerate 'came out,' etc.
Just a thought.

Nobody ever asked me if I watched so they are obviously off by at least one. You baiting me? Another way to look at it, what else does UPN have? Tell me about the cost of each episode. With 800 channels, few programs are going to make a audience share. Some networks should never try to be number one, they aren't going to get there. Unless they start showing naked chearleaders shooting automatic weapons whatever they replace it will not do as well.

Oh sure Chas, I can see it now... Archer: Y'know T'Pal, FF is MUCH better than TP, even if "TP" are your initials! Now warp factor 22! Yeah, sure, THAT will bring 'em in in droves! ;D ;)
Seriously, I really do enjoy the show, and I'm among the ones who aren't counted (makes you wonder who IS being counted sometimes, but that's another topic). The show started off kinda slow, but picked up the pace. I think the writing has gotten better as it has progressed and I don't buy that "we have run out of ideas" excuse. This is sci-fi for goodness sakes... how can you run out of ideas?!? Hope the show hangs on somewhere, 'cause it will be the first time we won't have a weekly Star Trek fix in awhile. :(

I say they have a episode where Enterprise goes into the future and meets up with Voyager. Archer starts to fall for teh lovely Seven and out of jealousy we have a catfight (preferably in a steel cage) between T'Pal and Seven for Archer!! Now THAT will get the ratings going.

Alright, here we go:
Bill, do you watch Enterprise?
I don't, but only because we don't have a TV. We will buy the various seasons as they are released on DVD - just as we have with TNG, Voyager and DS9.
I enjoy all of them, and I sure was not trying to bait you.
But if I was, did it work?
;)
