But the Captain wasn't a complete moron and Enterprise had no classic
episodes.

Admittedly I stopped watching the Next Generation during the second
season and only went back to it after a couple of years.  But it did
have those middle seasons and Patrick Stewart as a lead.  Enterprise
didn't and Scot Bakula is no Patrick Stewart.  Also, stupid as Picard
could be, Archer's towering incompetence totally cast in him the
shadow.
