Enterprise Heads to Sci Fi Channel

Posted by Michael Pinto on Aug 3, 2006 in Star Trek |

Some good news for Star Trek fans:

Sci Fi Channel has picked up the four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise to premiere on the cable network early this fall. Enterprise, starring Scott Bakula as “Captain Jonathan Archer,” originally aired on UPN from 2001 to 2005, and its 98 produced episodes have been in syndication ever since.

The new venue for Enterprise is part of a package deal between Sci Fi Channel and CBS Paramount Domestic Television that includes multiple made-for-television movies and other series, including Threshold co-starring Brent Spiner (“Data”) and produced by Enterprise co-creator Brannon Braga. Threshold was CBS’ entry in the competitive sci-fi/thriller field last fall, but was pulled from the network after eight episodes. Twelve episodes were shot — all of which have aired overseas — so the Sci Fi deal will give U.S. audiences a chance to see the whole series on TV. (Of course, serious fans can pick up the DVD starting August 22.)
