UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' 886
Tycoon Guy writes "It's official now: UPN has decided to cancel 'Enterprise.' The show's series finale, which may feature Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), will air on Friday the 13th of May. The show's fate was probably sealed when last Friday's episode reached only 2.5 million viewers - but even so, the people at EnterpriseFans.com are still trying to raise money for a fan campaign to save the show."

Maybe with a second try, it won't suck [since more recent shows were getting better]. The actual concept is good, but the implimentation is shoddy.

Well, Sky One already aired the entire first season of Battlestar Galactica in the UK before the Sci Fi channel decided to pick it up and air it here (ie. in the US). So, I think he was pointing out that he has already seen the entire first season and, hence, can judge the show better than people who haven't.
Myself, I have to agree. I saw the last few episodes of Battlestar Galactica's first season. And I really hope they decide to pick it up for at least another season. Good acting, good and sometimes superb writing, decent sfx. Definitely a good show.

Or do they simply show them over the course of a couple months, and then show other stuff (or reruns) the other 10 months of the year?
That's pretty much it, programmes are generally run weekly, and once one programme has finished it's run another will fill it's slot. I think the UK may have more cheap filler and repeats in the schedules as well, but I haven't looked at US TV schedules in depth. It's mostly economics I think...
The main exception are soap operas of course, which run in fixed slots (barring live football etc.) all year round. The big soaps are now on four days a week, UK TV seems to be getting awful for people who don't like soaps, or cheap fillers about people buying houses, or selling stuff at auction (etc.). (Then again a while ago all the fillers were about home improvement and stuff...)

Sam and Al will both star in it, but that's all the info they have.
Hopefully it'll be good.
