   Enterprise was on some bargin basement network, UPN maybe, and the   
   local station that was a member dropped the affiliation at some point   
   during the show's run, so it was no longer possible to catch it.   
      
   I recall wanting to slap Phlox around after he refused to cure   
   those first contact aliens, but it seemed to be getting a bit better   
   after that.
