Argh! Probably not a priority for some of you. Tuned in to watch Star Trek: Enterprise tonight at the scheduled time to find Born on the Fourth of July playing instead. Waited until it ended, hoping they'd air Enterprise b/c it was bulldozed by the movie. But the geniuses at the network apparently decided that showing Andy Griffith is far more important than Enterprise.

Don't worry it was a rather sucky one. Once again nothing really happened.

Those augments are out of control.

Don't blame the network, blame your local UPN station: it's the local station that decides if and when to repeat the episode. (Your post caused me heart palpitations, since I missed Enterprise on Friday, and I'd been planning to watch it tonight, so I checked. My UPN here didn't put on any Andy Griffith. Whew!)

thanks for the info. Not surprising. Around here, the local guys probably view Star Trek as 'teh devil' and ol' Andy as virtue incarnate.

I wound up getting it anyway from places that offer that kind of stuff.

Don't be too hard on Andy Griffith. I remember his shows in Mayberry fondly.

Yes, the Andy Griffith Show was quite good. And Matlock is badass.
Genius. You know who.

At least you have a UPN station. I gotta download 'em from BitTorrent to see 'em at all! Stupid Iowa TV stations and their we-don't-need-no-stinkin'-UPN attitude.

If you ever get THAT desperate, I usually have the latest ep on my tivo for a few days after it airs.

Hehehe.

I need to get a TiVo.

And you and I should get together, especially considering how close we are now, geographically.

If it makes you feel any better, it was pretty good. I still haven't figured out how Soong fits into the ST timeline. I'm thinking he's Noonian Soong's father. Father Soong makes super humans, and the son makes super androids.

I don't think he's Noonian's father - there's too much time between Enterprise and TNG. Maybe great-grandfather or even great-great grandfather. Otherwise, yeah; I think that's what they're getting at.
