They want instant rating hits like ABC got for Desperate Housewives and Lost.While genre shows are becoming more mainstream, they are not mainstream audience's major attraction. Network "suits" should know that. It takes a while to build up a fanbase, as long as the show's production keep cranking interesting stories week after week (and not the craps that Berman & Braga expelled from their brownholes).Enterprise would have been good. Manny Coto and the Reeves-Stevens proved that in the fourth season. The franchise needs to be reconnected with the fans they have lost, the way WotC brought back D&D 1e gamers to 3e. You bring back those fans, you can expand from there. Of course, some of them are too disgruntled to ever trust Paramount to roll out a decent Trek story. The first step Paramount must do to make reparation is to immediately replace the current head of the franchise, Rick Berman. Let's face it, the guy should have been gone a long time ago.</blockquote>
