Re: Still miss DS9

The cable network "TNN" (formerly "The Nashville Network" now re-positioned as "The National Network") is stripping TNG except Saturdays, I believe. The usual time is 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. Eastern.

I had a hard time connecting with DS9 -- it seemed like each actor was trying to outdo the other in the intensity of his/her display of "attitude" starting with Avery Brooks. As for "Voyager," it reminded me of nothing so much as "Ding Dong School" (an educational TV program I remember from the mid 1950s) in a spaceship. First we had spaceship captain as swashbuckler (Capt. Kirk); then we had spaceship captain as Renaissance man (Capt. Picard) and with Voyager we had spaceship captain as Elementary School Principal (Capt. Janeway). Yech!

I stumbled into "Enterprise" the other night. It was ok and, if I surfed into it again, I would watch it. I kind of like Scott Bakula. (I'm well past the time when I am willing, or, in most cases able, to schedule my time for any television program. One of these days, I'll pop for a Replay TV or a Tivo machine so I always have something decent to watch when the mood strikes me.)
