It mostly got crap because it was a UPN show just before UPN was gobbled up with The WB by the CW merger.
UPN wasn't a very respected station, and the merger cause UPN and The CW to cancel a lot of good shows to make room on one network.

I loved ENT. By far my favorite ST series.
I recently watched this series myself, and while I found the Xindi arc a bit tedious most of the time (though it did have it's moments), I thoroughly enjoyed any episode that featured Commander Shran. After having played The Secret World and watching Enterprise, I've gained a healthy amount of respect for Jeffery Combs.
I loved the show till the last season, then it went all DS9 like with drama and war and everything. Star Trek should stick to it's roots, exploration. Just like TOS, Next Generation and Voyager, DS9 was kind of eh, 3/4 of the series. Enterprise Seasons 1-3 was good, 4 didn't fit in too good.
Haha wow. I even get crap from other trekkies when I say I liked ENT. Voyager is far and away my favorite Trek though.
