UPN Declines To Comment On Future Of 'Enterprise'

In a question and answer session with television writers, CBS President Les Moonves and UPN head Dawn Ostroff did not answer questions about Star Trek: Enterprise's future.

New York Newsday noted that the Presidents did not say one way or another whether Enterprise would be receiving the greenlight for a fourth season. Moonves and Ostroff did confirm that Jake 2.0, Enterprise's lead out show will most likely not be renewed unless its ratings improve. However, with the show's preemption in favor of reruns of the reality show America's Next Top Model, there is little chance of a ratings boost even if it does return after Model ends its run.

Moonves mentioned that they are pleased with the performance of the comedies on Monday and Tuesday, and noted that more are in development. Ostroff noted that UPN is going to consider comedy pilots from Queen Latifah, Lisa Kudrow, and Samuel L. Jackson for the fall schedule.

UPN will only air two mid-season replacements this spring. One is America's Next Top Model, which premiered last Tuesday, and the other is a computer-animated comedy entitled Game Over. Game Over features the voices of Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld) and Lucy Liu (Ally McBeal, Charlie's Angels) and revolves around the personal lives of video game characters.

UPN has two new reality shows in works for the summer. One is called The Player and features young men and women competing to see who among them is the "ultimate player." The other involves Amish young people undergoing the ritual of "rumspringa," in which they venture out into the real world and test the strength of their beliefs.
