Okay, one note for those who have not paid attention to this thread’s rules:
If you don’t care for ENT, leave this thread now and go play somewhere else.
Okay.
UPN will announce its fall line-up on May 20. We have until then, or maybe not even that long, to get those faxes, letters, phone calls and emails out.
Visit www.enterpriseproject.org and www.triphammered.com for info and support links.
Okay, I have been helping every way I can but to be honest, until now, I’ve not really considered this much of a threat. I’ve always thought that Enterprise will make it to seven seasons (and I still do) but now I’m unsure. Just how serious is this? I mean, really, what fuckhead would cancel their network’s highest rated show?
Is this TOS S2 bad? TOS S3?
This is a network which promised to keep Jake 2.0 on for a full first season and then killed it mid-way; a network which didn’t even mention ENT at their most recent press conference; a network which runs a bunch of promos during the weekend reruns but not on Wednesday nights, when the ratings for the show are actually counted; a network which apparently has no regard for international viewers who will never have Nielsen boxes; a network that has already renewed Top Model for the fall and seems to think that their stupid sitcoms and reality shows are the best fare they can offer. And it’s a network that has spent so little time and money on promotion that there are still people out there who have no idea there’s a Trek show on the air–and then UPN has the nerve to piss and moan about low ratings.
That’s why I’m thinking it might be better for Paramount’s TV division to shop ENT to the Sci Fi Channel or FX. It would suck because then I’d have to spend money to buy cable or pay someone to tape it for me, but it’s better than death after 3 seasons.
UPN might also move ENT to Friday nights, but that could kill it entirely. It was bad enough moving it to 9pm after the abysmally rated Game Over.
Okay, everyone, this is it.
Visit www.enterpriseproject.org immediately for the latest info on the postcard campaign.
You can also call UPN at 310 575 7000 and dial “3” to leave a message specifically about Enterprise.
They will very likely make their decision this month, even though they won’t officially announce the fall line-up until late May.
I’ve got press releases and stuff if you want any.
