Is Enterprise anyone else's favourite trek?

Don't see why... My favorite Trek is TNG, followed by DS9, but I absolutely loved ENT, almost as much as those two.
At this point, I think it's fair to ask what other Trek series you have seen and to what degree of completeness.
It is my favorite with the exception of TOS. I have seen each of the other series in their entirety (at least twice thru on each.)
Infern0, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but starting three threads in here within 15 minutes is a bit much. Ease down, okay?
I have seen all of Trek many times and ENT is an equal second favorite with VOY. I can easily imagine it eclipsing VOY had it gone on a few more seasons. It's potential to be edgier and innovative was there.
DS9
ENT/VOY
TOS
TNG
As to being flamed, well TNG is my least favorite and I've never met anyone else who said that.

Enterprise isn't my favorite, DS9 is. But Enterprise does come in second.
I've been a fan since the early '80s and my earliest memories are BBC reruns at 6pm, TMP and TWOK.
If I take original Star Trek out of the equation, then it's my favourite too.

ENT is my favorite, even above TOS, which I grew up on and was obsessed with. I much prefer the fallible, accessible characters who couldn't always solve the problem of the week with technobabble. I've seen enough of the other series except VOY (which I doubt viewing would change my opinion) to make a good comparison.
It's a factor in the sense that if you've only seen one, then it being your favorite is a given if you liked it.
You've not had anything else to compare it to and know that you like it more than those.
ENT is not my favorite, but I do like it alot.
For me it is:
TOS
ENT
DS9
VOY
I used to love TNG but watched them to the point of exhaustion, so I do not know where to list it.

Fair enough, but not seeing all the other episodes doesn't negate anyone's preference one way or the other.

I think he was more saying if you watched say Profit and Lace and Threshold and only those episodes to base your opinion on DS9 and VOY respectively that you can't really base anything on just that. So not necessarily watching every episode so much as watching more than a couple.
Oh, my goodness, YES!
I love this show more than any other SciFi!

Obviously you and I haven't met. TNG is also at the bottom of my Trek list.

Good point. After all, how many people have based their entire opinion of ENT based on ANIS or TATV or a decon chamber scene? How many people have formed their opinion on the new Trek movie based on the shape of the nacelles?
Those nacelles are important, dammit! They played a big part in GR's vision!
Seriously, I don't know where to rank Enterprise. I do enjoy it, but it isn't my favourite. My list when ENT started was DS9 > TNG > VOY (I hadn't seen TOS back then). By default, ENT began my list between TNG and VOY just because of how upset I was with Voyager. There came a point in the third season where ENT overcame TNG and was my second favourite.
However, then came Zero Hour and Storm Front which managed to knock it below TNG again. After that I wasn't as enamored by the fourth season as everyone else was. The story arcs were great at build-up but they all flubbed the pay-off. TATV didn't help matters, so ENT got stuck down in third place.
After recently watching all of TOS I had a similar experience. During the second season it surpassed TNG, but season three was so disappointing that it dropped down to third. So now my list is DS9 > TNG > TOS > ENT > VOY.
Enterprise was fun and I wish it had lasted the full seven seasons, but I can't award it any more than fourth place. The very fact that it was cancelled just means that it was all set up and no pay-off. And like Voyager, it had so much potential that it managed to squander.
I'm with the above Voyager comparison opiniony thing... despite me not thinking that sentence through...
I didn't enjoy Enterprise on it's first run but it did grow on me later around Seasons 3/4 when there was nothing else on and I needed background noise to work. I'm not sure where I would rank it, but despite it's flaws it did have some good stuff in there.
