• Yesterday's rerun of Voyager's 'Live Fast and Prosper' earned UPN a 2.9 rating / 4 share, up again from last week's Survivor-hindered 2.0/3. The season finale of the WB summer series 'Young Americans' scored a 3.1/5 (up from 1.9/3), which makes it only the second time the series beat a Voyager rerun.
