It doesn't seem that 2005 is going to be put down as the best year in the life of Brannon Braga.

Toward the beginning of the year, a show he co-created, "Star Trek: Enterprise," was cancelled by UPN. Now that we're at the end of the year, his latest show, "Threshold," has now been cancelled by CBS.

The word of the cancellation came from E! Online columnist Kristin Veitch made the announcement on the channel's Web site as many Americans were getting the turkey ready for the holidays.

The show, which starred Charles S. Hutton, Brian Van Holt, Peter Dinklage, Brent Spiner, Carla Gugino and Robert Patrick Benedict, has been anemic in the ratings ... especially as it went up against somewhat similar-cut series by ABC and NBC, who are producing "Invasion" and "Surface" respectively.

In its Friday timeslot, the show was earning as high as a 5.7 rating/10 share in overnight ratings of the top 40 television markets in the United States. However, after the show was moved to Tuesdays to make room for "Close To Home," ratings plummeted to a 4.4/7, equaling what the show had originally reran at.

It is not clear if the show will be removed from the schedule, or if all 12 episodes will be aired. The show's 10th episode, "The Crossing," is scheduled to air Nov. 29.

Raph's Girl note: They should never have moved it to compete with Boston Legal..
