Most shows in the UK have around 10 episodes which is more manageable and means there isn't so much scraping of the barrel when it comes to ideas.
Lighter workloads for the actors/actresses as well.
Discovery Renewed for Season 2

This is why the Enterprise was so often worth following and why, so far, Discovery is so dull.
The Property Brothers disagree with you. Lol!
And, in polls of the general viewership, a smidge under 60% like it. Still a majority, but "huge" only if you're electing an American President.
But I think that what is more important for DSC than internet polls is the amount of overall "interest" in DSC. Because so many of the people who vote that they don't like the show in those polls, are likely still avid watchers. This forum is kind of proof of that. Many of the people who profess to not like the show (and I'm not disputing that they don't), still watch. Call it the "Howard Stern Syndrome".
Enterprise was a show chasing past success and never catching up.
Discovery is so far, IMO far more entertaining and creative,
My reading of why Enterprise failed is basically that Berman/Braga alienated all of the Trek writers by that point, meaning they had to write the first three seasons all by themselves. At the same time, the studio was heavily interfering in the "creative process" (if you can call it that) mostly for the worse. E.g., the studio was even more risk averse than Bannon/Braga (killing the idea of the first season being set on Earth, for example), which is why we got two more seasons of Voyager with a different cast rather than a real prequel. By the time the show began retooling, fans lost interest.
This is a joke, right? The most bland, lifeless Trek is "worth following"? The Trek show that was so boring, it was on the verge of cancellation every season because nobody was watching?
If you find DSC dull, man, you've got to check that head of yours. Think it's too grim for Trek? Fair enough. You don't like the story? Ok, that's fine, I get it. Too action and effects heavy? I'd disagree, but it's a point you can fairly make. You don't find the characters appealing?
Ok, so it's not the kind of show you like. Fine. But dull? Pull another one.
Well put. Exactly. There was nothing exciting about it. I enjoy it, but I can see its flaws, which are huge, and I will never say it's great TV.
Ya know, why not? I have cryptically dropped several hints about this several times on this forum and no one caught on. Lol. I've heard this from several sources now, so spilling the beans won't get any one person in trouble. Now, mind you, what I'm going to say was in consideration late summer 2016. So I don't know if these plans are still concrete. Also, possible SPOILERS IN THE PARAGRAPH BELOW.
Last I heard (late summer 2016) CBS is considering having the Enterprise show up in some fashion at the end of Season 2 in an episode of Discovery. This will launch a spin-off show about the Enterprise's missions under Pike that will air during Discovery's downtime and visa versa. Whether this is still CBS's strategy going forward...I don't know. Maybe they've changed their mind now and will do something else. This was just the last information I heard which may or may not still be accurate.
<Spoiler tag added by cultcross - that's big enough to deserve two warnings>
If true, I just hope this doesn't signal the start of a Marvel-on-Netflix-style series spamming. How many of those series' are actually any good?
Quality over quantity, please.
I don't see Enterprise as being particularly unique, and certainly not in its first two seasons. Like Voyager, there were some superficial differences, but it was still the same planet / alien of the week stuff that we got on Next Generation.
Out Orville the Orville
It is a part of a larger franchise, at least in my case. It would be a show in trouble if only sixty percent liked it and those that didn't were dropping off because they have no attachment to it.
Yet was watched by more people first run than any of the spinoffs.

I have the exact opposite hope as you.
I SO HOPE this turns into a Netflix marvel thing cause those shows IMO are effing awesome.
It aint how you start it's how you finish.
That show plodded along because people hoped it would get interesting, and it never did, just worse.

why would anyone think this is true? Because some guy on a message board said "his sources" told him?
I have friends at Paramount and I was told the sequel to Beyond is on the verge of a green light, and my sources say it will be a crossover with the prime timeline, and Patrick Stewart will return as Ambassador Picard.
Midnight's Edge also had "sources."
It plodded along so poorly that thirteen feature films and six series have spun off of it.
Sure.

I think I understand, I'm confused, I believed we were talking about the show "enterprise"
when clearly the root of these quotes was "THE ENTERPRISE" referencing TOS.
in this case my snark is clearly misplaced.
Hence the "If..."
to be fair, 2 shows airing in alternating schedules isn't as overbearing as 3 shows with one season each, 1 show with two seasons, plus a team up series, followed by a spin-off of another one of those shows and additional seasons for the other 3.... since CBS all access has very little original content, they can't afford to have down time.

and you know, it seems like they've got a perfectly good shenzhou bridge set just laying around that they could put to use...
