Next Season Is Voyager's Last
It's official - UPN has announced that the next season of Star Trek: Voyager will be the last. Rumors about a prequel series continue while the future of the entire UPN network is in question.

While the Viacom-CBS merger nears completion, the FCC has yet to decide if they will force Viacom to unload the UPN network. Viacom made one of the final steps in forcing Chris-Craft to sell-out their share in the network for the paltry sum of $5M. Only time will tell if the network is headed for a smack-down.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
(1975) on WGN, 8:00pm-10:00pm ET. "Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab." In the cult-midnight show attraction, scientist, alien and bisexual transvestite Dr. Frank N. Furter is visited by average Americans Brad and Janet; the latter two giving themselves over to "absolute pleasure." A wacked-out, spoofy, goofy, hip and campy one-of-a-kind musical. Tim Curry is the Doc, with Susan Sarandon as Janet, Barry Bostwick as Brad, Richard O'Brien as the hunchback valet Riff-Raff, Meatloaf as rock 'n' roller Eddie, Little Nell as Columbia, and Patricia Quinn as Magenta. "Let's do the Time Warp again!" Review provided by Findavideo.
