Here is what is on in May:
Looking further into the future, there is Stargate SG-1, season eight; Stargate Atlantis, season
one; Battlestar Galactica, and, in the Fall, Dark Shadows.

The month of May brings the end to several television shows we have known and loved. The end of Angel is certain. The
end of Star Trek Enterprise is probable -- though there may be a few (five?)
new episodes in the Fall. The end of Andromeda is
likely -- the suits signed a contract guaranteeing a fifth season but everybody knows contracts are not binding if you wear a suit, and
the suits want out. The only sure survivors are Smallville and Stargate SG-1.
Both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis will have new episodes later this Summer
and Smallville returns in the Fall.
Monday, May 3
My pick: Star Trek. Enterprise has had some major surprises in recent weeks, and it looks as if it is
going to get really good just as it is going away. If you've been watching Smallville, and plan to
catch Enterprise in reruns, try not to let anyone tell you more than you want to know.
