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. UPN has holes on Friday night... by LostCluster · · Score: 5, Informative

    Fridays are definitely a death slot on the UPN network. Many UPN affiliates, even some the network owns, have Friday-heavy packages to air games from the local MLB team. Stations affected include...

    Boston's WSBK "UPN 38" which airs "Friday Night Baseball" Red Sox Games nearly every Friday night in the season.
    Connecticut's WCTX "UPN 8" is part of the Mets broadcast network.
    Seattle's KSTW "UPN 11" is the flagship of the Mariners broadcast network.

    In short, it's hard to get anything to work on UPN Fridays during the start of the TV station because about a quarter of the network just plain falls apart on any given Friday night due to baseball coverage when its in season.

    >the theme song is the best theme song ever written for any series

    I agree it is good, but it wasn't written for the series. ;-)

    It was on the Patch Adams soundtrack in 1998. (They re-recorded it for Enterprise and I like the re-recording better than the Rod Stewart version).
