Sci Fi Channel has acquired rerun rights to "Star Trek: Enterprise" along with several other series, made-for-TV movies and miniseries.

Its deal with CBS Paramount Domestic Television also includes a renewal of exclusive cable rights to the classic series "The Twilight Zone"; the TV show "Tales From the Darkside"; and such short-lived series as CBS' "Threshold," starring Carla Gugino, and "Wolf Lake," with Lou Diamond Phillips, as well as UPN's "Jake 2.0," starring Christopher Gorham, and "Haunted," featuring Matthew Fox. Other acquired titles include the series "Kindred, the Embraced," "Level 9," "Special Unit 2" and "All Souls."

Sci Fi said it's planning to premiere "Enterprise," a "Star Trek" prequel that stars Scott Bakula and ran from 2001-05 on UPN, in early fall. "Tales From the Darkside" will premiere later this year, and the other acquired series will debut sometime during the 2006-07 season.

Along with the series, Sci Fi has exclusive cable rights to five made-for-TV movies and three miniseries. The films include "Inferno," starring Jeff Fahey; "Lost in the Bermuda Triangle"; "Primal Force," starring Ron Perlman; "Sightings: Heartland Ghost," starring Beau Bridges and Nia Long; and "Trilogy of Terror II."

The miniseries are "Invaders," which also stars Bakula; "The Langoliers," originally one of four short stories in the Stephen King novel "Four Past Midnight," which stars
Dean Stockwell and Patricia Wettig; and "The Stand," also based on a King novel, and starring Gary Sinise and
Molly Ringwald.

If only they'd play reruns of MST3k. Thats all anyone cares about.

I'm trying to get them to buy MST3K for PBS. I think it's a good fit, but so far, no luck. Need more people to ask.
