"And now, the senses-shattering conclusion of The Sentinel!"
That's what its fans faced iast spring, when the hour-long series about a police detectivewith super-enhanced senses was abruptly canceled mid-clifflranger. You could almosthear them crying out, in time-honored comic-book fashion: "Noooooooooo!!!"
But this is real life, not comics. And the series' media-sawy audience had a weapon more
powerful than repulsor rays or super strength: activism. After a telephone, letler ande-mail campaign that even raised money to buy support ads in USA Today and DailyVariety, fans helped convince UPN to bring back The Sentinel. The fourth season beganMonday, Jan. 1 8 with a rerun of the pilot episode, followed a week later by part one ofthe third season's clifftranger finale, guest-starring Star Trek: Voyager Borg-babe let''Ryan. The first new episode premieres Monday, Feb. 1.
