Star Trek

Much like the real-life space program, sounds like the fictional one is grounded too.

I believe (and this may be semantics) that the statement at the beginning of this article is untrue:

"For the first in 18 years, prime-time U.S. network television will be without a starship crew to 'boldly go where no man has gone before.' "

Semantics: Both Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine were not prime-time network television shows, rather they were syndicated shows. This means they could be aired on any station at any time.

Example: "Everybody Loves Raymond" is a prime-time network show when it airs Mondays at 9pm (EST) on local CBS affiliates only. "Andromeda" is a syndicated program that airs on channels that may be completely unrelated throughout the nation.
