THIS IN FROM DWEEB-CORRESPONDANT PLANO-KEVIN:
'Star Trek: Enterprise' to End in May
After four years, the mission is over for "Star Trek: Enterprise."
The prequel to the original "Star Trek" science fiction series will air its final episode May 13, UPN and Paramount Network Television announced Wednesday.
The series will get a send-off that "salutes its contributions to the network and satisfies its loyal viewers," said UPN Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff. She didn't disclose details.
"Star Trek: Enterprise" debuted in September 2001. Scott Bakula stars as Capt. Jonathan Archer, along with John Billingsley, Jolene Blalock, Dominic Keating, Anthony Montgomery, Linda Park and Connor Trinneer. EDITOR'S NOTE: ON THE ONE HAND, I'M SAD. I ACTUALLY RATHER LIKE THE SHOW. MOSTLY FOR THE NEAT CHEMISTRY OF THE CAST. (THEY ARE MUCH LESS CONTRIVED AND SEEM MORE NATURAL TOGETHER THAN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS CASTS).
ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS FREES UP CONNOR TRINNEER TO COME TO HOUSTON AND DATE ME.
SO IT ISN'T ALL BAD NEWS.......
The series has been sold into rerun syndication in most of the country and is set for debut this fall.
Its end means that, for the first time in 18 years, no first-run "Star Trek" series will be airing. The franchise included "Star Trek" (1966-69, NBC); "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-94, syndicated); "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1992-99, syndicated); "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995-2001, UPN); and "Star Trek: Enterprise."
"Star Trek" movies also have been released. EDITOR'S NOTE: MUCH AS WE'VE TRIED TO GET THEM TO STOP.....
While bidding a warm goodbye to "Star Trek: Enterprise," the studio hinted at more "Star Trek" to come.
"We all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future," said Paramount Network Television President David Stapf. EDITOR'S NOTE: WHO KNOWS....MAYBE ALL THE CURRENT REGIME WILL DIE, AND NEW PEOPLE....PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY RESPECT THE FANS...MIGHT TAKE OVER THE FRANCHISE.

Brad Kern created the show and will executive produce along with Aaron Spelling and Executive Producer/Writer E. Duke Vincent.
This not, of course, connected to Touchstone Television's "Splash, Too," the made for TV movie from 1988 in which Amy Yasbeck and Todd Waring took over the roles of Madison (Bauer) and Allen Bauer -- so there is hope for this new project. EDITOR'S NOTE: SOMETIMES, THEY DON'T EVEN NEED MY HELP WITH THE SNARK.
