Trekkies beam onto sci-fi shows

UPN got encouraging ratings news Thursday about the season premiere of “Enterprise” and the debut of its sci-fi series “Jake 2.0.”

“Enterprise,” the “Star Trek” prequel, attracted 4.1 million viewers Wednesday night, up from the 3.8 million who tuned in to the season’s finale last May, according to Nielsen ratings. At the same time, however, the audience was still less than the 4.9 million viewers who watched last season’s opener.

“Jake 2.0,” which followed “Enterprise,” attracted 3.7 million viewers, holding on to about 90% of the “Enterprise” audience.
