According to Marc Berman's Programming Insider at MediaWeek, last night's first-run presentation of the ENTERPRISE first season finale "Shockwave" scored a 4.9/8 in the overnight metered market ratings. This is consistent with the overnight performance for the series of late, increasing over last week's "Two Days and Two Nights", which scored a 4.7/7 (according to Zap2it last week), and matching "Fallen Hero" of two weeks ago. "Shockwave" is, however, the first ENTERPRISE in several weeks not to make Berman's "winners" list for Wednesday night. For the season, ENTERPRISE is clearly a winner for UPN, being named one of the top twenty most valuable shows on television by The Futon Critic recently and performing exceptionally well for UPN, helping the network pull past its major competitor the WB all season long.
