Yes, it is, but hopefully, if we can raise it....Enterprise will continue! And if not, all the proceeds will go to the tsunami relief funds.

I'm as upset as anyone by the news that Enterprise has been cancelled.
BUT!!!
I think that people raising $35 MILLION dollars to get a TV show back on the air is crazy. How about trying to raise $3500 for childrens play equipment, or $35000 for a generator, water pump and educational supplies for a small town in India, or $350,000 for AIDS, Cancer or Diabetes research.
I know alot of people may see it another way. But $35 mil could be more well spent.
Also, people can only eat so many fundraising cookies!

I agree. For a start there never gonna rase 35 million and if they did there is a million other better things i could do with the money then make a TV show that wont be of any benefit to the world, unlike if it was givesn to charitys where the money can actually help people

You don't fully realize how quickly we can get there.....even so, if we can get a start........a good one, paramount will see the effort. With all the publicity we give this thing, and everyone that has already donated it could happen. We also plan on getting sponsors, possibly from large companies that support the cause...or celebrities.
Oh, and if we're not successful, everything goes to the tsunami relief fund. You gotta read everything.

Fair enuff. I'm not going to argue a point.
I do understand that you guys are making a stand and I hope that all goes well for you. To be honest I would really like to see you succeed!
Good luck with the effort!

I don't think $35M will be enough. It already costs over $1.6M to make one episode of enterprise and thats after they have reduced there budget.

Well $35 million will get a few episodes nevertheless,they got a helping boost they can take it from there. If it all goes through then it will be worth every bit of it,honestly to regain some respect paramount needs to finish what they started with enterprise.
