I’ll change the title of the show every night.

“It’s the Tars Tarkas Late Night (insert funny glurge here) show!”

Damn it all to hell!

I had a great and pithy (quite pithy actually) post with all sorts of show names and intros involving about 15 different Dopers, and the ham **p** sters ate it!

I’m not going to try to recapture my stream of consciousness for a redo, so you all have just missed out on what was possibly the best evar Trek Doper post.

oh wel…

I suggest you fool everybody, and call it the Tars Tarkas Late-Night (etc.), then have it show at noon.  
Better yet, call it the Tars Tarkas Late-Night (etc.), and _advertize_ it as showing at noon, when it’s ACTUALLY on at 7 AM.

Yes, your viewers will be few, but loyal. And confused.

Heck, they’d be confused even if i had a regular time slot! Especially with the show we’d film entirely using action figures!

(NCB, you need to learn to highlight and control-C every post you write on this board before hitting submit!)

That means you’d only watch those episodes of _Star Trek: Voyager_ where the holographic doctor is being operatic? (Or maybe _Star Trek: Insurrection_?)

You mean like how last night’s Conan O’Brian show was done entirely in [claymation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=183824)?

What is this _Fear Factor_?

Is it a new make up for really ugh-a-ly women?

There is a newsgroup for Enterprise.  
It is named, strangely and inaccurately enough,  
TV.startrek.enterprise

The Phlox Factor maybe the phenomenon of a crewperson being able to disobey your orders according to their culture and/or the condition of their alimentary canal.
