The other thing was, Enterprise premiered right around the time of the 9/11 attacks, which also happened to be my first week of college. Given both the circumstances in my own life (being away from home for the first time) and the larger world, making time to follow a TV show I wasn't enjoying didn't seem like a high priority.
(As an aside).
Similar thing happened to me when I first went to a college away from home (w/o any 9-11 type event). Following tv shows was no longer a priority for me. I was more interested in partying and booze, than watching tv.
In those days, the last tv show I followed closely was the first season of the original MacGyver. After that I largely dropped regular tv viewing for almost two decades. I tried to follow the first season of TNG but found it lackluster at the time, and subsequently didn't watch it regularly.
Even today, I find I don't have any emotional (or sentimental) attachment to tv shows which had their first-runs in the late-1980s, 1990s, and early->mid 2000s.
