UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise'

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-sure-if-thats-good-news-or-bad dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that 'Enterprise' has been renewed for a fourth season. UPN will make the official announcement on Thursday, but production executives already told the SaveEnterprise.com fan campaign the show will be back, and the show's actors have been ordered back to work. The only snag? It looks like 'Enterprise' might be moved to Fridays next year, and Firefly fans can tell you what a great place that is..."

  1. Friday night? What are they, crazy? by The+I+Shing · · Score: 5, Funny

    We just know how Star Trek fans are all out paintin' the town red on Friday nights.

    What UPN should do is just send small cheap TV sets to every collectible card shop in the country, so fans of the series can watch the show while playing Magic: The Gathering in the back.

    While they're at it, they should send some Red Bull and Cheetos, too.

    Thousands of Enterprise fans will, after celebrating, move back into their parents' basements to plot their next letter campaign.

    But first, a celebratory all-night Magic: The Gathering game! Bring on the dancing girls! (oh, wait...)

  4. However, in an attempt to "UPN it up..." by The+Ultimate+Fartkno · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...the ship's comm officer will now be played by Mo'Nique, who will bring her distinctive brand of head-swiveling, big booty jokes, and "You go girl!" onboard to make the Enterprise the funkiest space trip ever! Also joining the cast will be Erik-Michael Estrada of the smash pop group O-Town. The jokes will be 'out of this world' as Erik-Michael asks the captain if they can put hydraulics on the ship or at least get a "La Raza" license plate frame. The new captain of the ship will be played by the whitest man alive - Al Gore. He can't dance and his slang is busted, but he can get them through all the interstellar police stops!

    Come join the cerebral fun on UPN!

    ...its five year mission, to style and profile, to seek out new sources of bitches and money, to boldly go where no pimp has gone before. /cue visual FX of "The Star Ship Enterprizzle," newly pimped out by West Coast Customs (drop down LCD screen!), as it slowly cruises past a planet. Snoop blasts from the racks of interstellar subs mounted on the rear decks, and the neon mounted on the underside of the ship casts a funky purple glow across the planet's surface.

    Ok, naming that many episodes of a show long gone "off the top of my head in 5 minutes at the office", you seriously need to get outside more.

    that dreadful theme song
    I think the theme song is the best theme song ever written for any series. It captures the mood of the series perfectly.

    Yes, the dreadfull theme song does indeed capture the mood of the series perfectly ;-)
