F^(#ing TV People!!!!!!
Argh!!
We always watch Enterprise at 11 PM on Saturday night on UPN 38. After all, it’s on opposite Joan of Arcadia on Fridays for its “official” slot, where they sent it to die the way Fox always does with good shows that have a modest yet dedicated following. Ironically, we noticed it was on last night when we didn’t get to the TV until partway through the hour, and we explicitly decided to wait and see the whole thing tonight. I had finished the previous post just in time, when Deb started making negative noises, including things that sounded a lot like “assholes.”
She had noticed partway into the 10:00 hour that an episode of Enterprise was on 38, but it looked like it must be the same one all over again (Same guys trapped on same ship kind of deja vu been there done that effect). So why watch it?
Well, when she turned to 38 for tonight’s episode, she saw the exciting ending of tonight’s episode, followed by the beginning of some totally lame different show airing at 11:00 instead, catching us completely unawares.
Damn TV people! WTF are they thinking when they pull this shit? “Hey, it’s being canceled anyway so who cares if we piss off the fans” maybe? Assholes.
She’s had the episode more or less ruined by seeing the surprise ending and not the rest, but at least she got that much of it. All we can hope for is maybe to find someplace like channel 28 still broadcasting it one last time.
I know, Tivo rocks, yada yada. Shush.
I Tivo the show for my Dad. Want me to copy it onto VHS for you? Email me with your addy if you want it.

(I thought the Tivo fee was like $12, so $4 is much better than I though.)
