The WB had neither good TV or prestige, they were lowest rated along with CBS (although at least CBS and "Friends" had culture, but nothing about "Friends" was Warner Bros.ish, and was just like The WB in that regard).
"Voyager" was weak (but that's not what made them bad though, my only iffiness about that show is that Jeri Ryan - a The WB-loving "Friends"-loving "Seinfeld"-hating Allied Nordicist Yankee bigot and a codeless one tat that - joined the show, and the episodes became more centered). Her appearance on this show seemed to have been forgotten by the cast. And with good reason. What "Voyager" was willing to put up with (and that's not by a long shot, because "Voyager" bought ratings for UPN long before "Scorpion II", which aired almost in 1998; I mean it was September 1997, and "Voyager" was almost on the air 3 years in a row before Jeri Ryan), this show wasn't.
Anyways this show is a classic. Jim Ellison (played by Richard Burgi, who also was a major guest on "Seinfeld" - from NBC - just 2 years earlier in "The Hamptons," season 5) is a sentinel (a man with abilities to see and smell and hear beyond just within the immediate proximity, and this could have been part of DC's competitive universe too, given just how DC-like this), who came from the jungles of Peru as a US CORE special unit officer (as the US army is all across the World through the West - South America, North America, the Old world, in general). He teams up with Blair Sandberg, a liberal college professor (although that hippie stereotype of his progresses through time and he rises to the occassion). There is not one bad episode in this show to begin with (not all are prestigious episodes but none were bad). This show really made UPN a long-lasting network even more than "Voyager." In some he's fighting an urban drug gang. In another he's fighting a criminal with multiple personality disorder (and another thing about this show that's good is it's anti-The WB/anti-Tribune bashing as well). News anchors who make life Hell for Jim and Blair gets ripped a new one (as in one episode where an anchor tried to make fun of Jim for not catching the killer). This is a must-see show.
