Sci Fi has announced a premiere date for “Star Trek: Enterprise”, the fifth series in the Star Trek franchise which aired on the UPN network from 2001 to 2005, for January 8, 2007.
The series will run in four-hour blocks from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET every Monday.
Earlier in the year Sci Fi purchased the rights to air all four seasons of the series, and were expected to begin airing the series in the fall of this year before settling on the early January launch.
The series went off the air with its fourth season finale back in May of 2005. It spent one year in weekend syndication where it averaged a 1.4 household rating through 26 original episodes (with a low of 1.2 and a high of 1.7) selected mainly from the fourth season but also including selected episodes from other seasons.
“Star Trek: The Original Series” is currently airing in weekend syndication, where it is averaging a 1.3 household rating with a low of 1.2 and a high of 1.3.
‘Enterprise’ is also airing on the high-definition network HDNet.
I was disappointed in Enterprise. The stories just weren’t very “engaging”. Come to think of it, I haven’t liked any of the spin-offs since Next Generation.
I respectively disagree J. I found ‘Enterprise’ to be quite enjoyable. It and ‘Deep Space Nine’ are my two favorite Trek series’.
It also improved as the seasons went on, with the third and fourth being my favorites. If you haven’t already, give those later seasons a look. I think it really found its groove towards the end and would have liked to see the show continue on.
[…] CBS and Paramount have apparently been considering an animated Trek series ever since the cancellation of the most recent live-action series, “Star Trek: Enterprise” (which begins its off-net cable run this January 8th on Sci Fi). […]
