I've always been skeptical of Obama's "consensus-building" skills, wondering how he'll be able to bridge the divide between Republicans and Democrats when it seems as if he's unable to bridge the divide between Democrats.

I'm going to guess Murphy B... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Yeff | March 1, 2006 5:37 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
I'm going to guess Murphy Brown, mainly because I know Scott Bakula was on that show as well as Enterprise.
Candice Bergen is now sharing a show with William Shatner but I don't know if Bill was ever on Murphy.
So, that's my guess.

It was indeed Murphy Brown, but I can only think of one episode that Kate Mulgrew appeared in.

I remember Shatner has a recurring role on 3rd Rock from the Sun as the the alien leader The Big Giant Head-the funniest part was when he and John Lithgow were comparing their experiences when they saw "something on the wing of the plane"-Shatner was in the original Twilight Zone episode with the gremlin, Lithgow did it in the movie

I wasn't able to find any other Enterprise captains either. Kate Mulgrew was on Voyager and never captained the Enterprise. Scott Bakula played Peter Hunt.
Stephen Collins, who played Captain Decker from ST:The Motion Picture played the lead in 7th Heaven for a very long time...

It couldn't have been Kate Mulgrew. She was the captain of a different ship. The only captains of the Enterprise that I'm aware of are:
William Shatner
Patrick Stewart
Scott Bakula
and one more. Who shall remain nameless.

There was also Captain Christopher Pike, played by Jeff Hunter (Jeffrey Hunter?), but he died somewhere around 1969 or 1970, so he wasn't in any sitcom in 80's, 90's sitcom.
(Though there was a Monty Python routine about a film director who has dug up Marilyn Monroe to star in his latest film)

Leonard Nimoy, as Spock, was captain of the Enterprise on the original TV show temporarily once or twice, in episodes when Kirk was thought to be dead, and also at the beginning of the movie STII Wrath of Khan.

Don't forget the incompentent Captain Harriman, captain of the Enerprise-B in Generations.
Or Riker, played by Jonathan Frakes, who was captain while Picard was a Borg; and also in a an alternate future timeline.
I'm sure there are a couple slightly more obscure Enterprise captains.

Scott Bakula (Capt. Jonathan Archer in Enterprise) appeared in Murphy Brown 14 times as Peter Hunt. Given the recent passing of Darin McGavin, your hint "a Major Award" (a quote from A Christmas Story), and his appearance in Murphy Brown 4 times as Bill Brown, I suspect he is your second actor, but I do not recall, nor can I find a reference to any appearance in a Star Trek related series or movie, let alone the role of Enterprise captain. Perhaps he had a role as captain of a non-Star Trek Enterprise.
