Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night. It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE went out on something of a high note last week with the twisting season finale "Zero Hour." In addition to setting the STAR TREK world spinning with a cliffhanger ending out of nowhere, the episode also managed to stir more viewers than average to tune in.

Drawing an average of 3.91 million viewers for the entire program according to the final numbers published in the Hollywood trades, "Zero Hour" beats last year's finale "The Expanse" by about a hundred thousand viewers (3.88m). Furthermore, it was the most viewers for a first-run episode of ENTERPRISE since February's "Harbinger."

This also puts the final episode above the season three average of 3.8 million viewers. Other overachievers include the first five episodes of the season, "Twilight," "Similitude," "Harbinger" and a couple others. ENT earned over one million viewers since the beginning of its final six new episodes on April 21st ("Damage," 2.86m). This wasn't enough, however, to keep season three from going out with less viewers than came into it. "The Xindi" was seen by 4.07 million and the following four episodes all had audiences over 4 million.

In the Adults 18-49 demographic, "Hour"'s 1.7/5 is the best showing for the prequel since November's "Similitude" ran away with a 2.1/6. "Zero Hour"'s A18-49 figure beat all but "Similitude" and "Anomaly," "Extinction" and "North Star."

Additionally, viewership during the finale grew from 3.71 million in the first half hour, with 4.1 million eventually witnessing the monkey-wrench cliffhanger that hopes to draw viewers back in the fall.

Thanks to 'Cyrus' for recording the numbers and passing them along!

Question…… Why bother to badge this as Start Trek at all
Answer ……. It pulls in the punters.

Questions …. How do you tie up a whole host of anomalous story lines that run totally at odds with other Star Trek series, especially the original.
Answer …… Time travel, this answer courtesy of a Prof I. Asimov who tied up a whole careers worth of diverse and contradictory story lines with this ploy.

Anyone see Turtledove in the new story line ?

My favourite Generations episode was the skip back in time to meet the tribbles. Quote from Worf on the difference in Klingons “we don’t talk about it”.

Quote for Enterprise “Don’t talk about it”.

Again why badge this as Start Trek

The finale | Report this post to moderator
By: timmer33 (Odo's file, contact) @ 22:45:22 on Jun 03, 2004

I think people will tune in next year to find out what the hell was up with that ending. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that you want to watch to find out just what is going on. Was it an alternate universe? Has the timeline been changed? Are they just back in the past?

HOWEVER, why the hell would they run EXTINCTION next week? That was the season's worst episode. They could easily skip it ... just forget that it ever existed. But no. Paramount is too dumb to see that they should be playing Xindi-only episodes that contribute to the arc. It would be a natural lead-in to the season premiere.

Seriously, why show EXTINCTION? It doesn't make sense.

    Has anyone suggested thet tha e alien at the end of Zero Hour is tot a "bad guy". Just because he looks evil doesnt mean he is . I think it would be an interesting twist if it turns out he is there for something other then to mess up the time line.

    People may tune in to find out about that ending, but they may not do that more than once. Really, who is going to be staying home on a Friday night to watch this? As for the Zero Hour ending, I don't think that the writers have figured it out. As for all those "clues" people are discussing, it's probably just bad research and sloppy writing. I live in San Francisco and that fly-over map looks like contemporary SF. The City has changed a lot since WWII and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what year it is based on the constant construction of new large-scale buildings here. The only mystery is how the writers will come up with something plausible enough to not get laughed at. Sorry, I enjoyed the last few episodes of ENT, but Zero Hour was...well...a zero.

      TPTB didn't have a clue about where they'd go with the cliffhanger, when Zero Hour was made.

      ENT insider "Morpheus" has confirmed this. Only now are there S4 scripts, contrived after the fact.

        How about a link to the Morpheus story where he says this?

        How do you know TPTB didn't at least know where it was going? Just because no script had been written doesn't mean they don't know why there's an alien (Reman?) in WW2 germany. Don't be so quick to rush to judgement.

        I'd point out that THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS part I didn't have an ending when the ep was filmed. The writers had to figure out an ending when they returned from the hiatus. It turned out okay. I'm sure Berman knew the general storyline (i.e. Picard will be saved but have real psychological damage). And I'm sure Berman knows where the ending of ZERO HOUR is going too. It just hasn't been fleshed out yet.

        Actually, there are no scripts yet. They're just breaking stories now as the writing staff really just came back.

          Do you know who is on the writing staff for next season? There were rumors that Chris Black and David Goodman have left and will be replaced by new writers.

          --------

          Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

            Well Black was working on FRANKENSTEIN a few weeks ago, no word yet on whether he has returned to ENT. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't back for year four.

              That would be a shame. Black's Proving Ground stands out in Season Three.

              When a troubled organization loses its better people, just when it needs them most, that's too often a sign of internal rot.

      Sure they will. If they like what they see. Isn't that pretty much the way it goes with any television program?
