[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] [QUOTE]A. Getting away from UPN and switching to FOX or something.[/QUOTE]Well, UPN is an automatic handicap on ratings, because it reaches a smaller proportion of American homes than the big four (only about 70% or so, I think), so it's behind out of the starting gate. Media analysts therefore avoid comparisons between the CBSes and FOXes and the UPNs and WBS. The only people who throw their hands in the air and say that Enterprise is getting the same ratings numbers as a couple of NBC sitcoms on the bubble and therefore it will soon be cancelled are Trek fans with a greater knowledge of Klingon grammar than media research. And given Fox's past record with Sci-Fi, I'd say no on principle. [QUOTE]B. Better management, getting rid of the double B's and putting in respectable producers.[/QUOTE]There would appear to be a mountain of evidence that Paramount considers Berman a 'respectable' producer. In a Hollywood world of egos and icons and social climbers, Berman has quietly brought in 14 years of television on-time and on-or-under-budget. That's the reason they just gave him a fat contract extension. Whether the 1% of the viewing audience that has nothing better to do but bitch all day thinks he's respectable or not is irrelevant to the industry. [QUOTE]C. Better stories[/QUOTE]...will always encourage and retain more viewers, yes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
