[USMA:8750] Metric on TV shows

[Bob Price]

After reading a couple of posts about metric on TV shows I just can't help
but wonder if anyone likes any of the Star Trek series.  On The Next
Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager you hear metric units in virtually
every episode. They never use King George III Units.
Also, I noticed metric used extensively in the new series Andromeda.  It
seems that Gene Roddenberry was either ahead of his time, or simply in touch
with the rest of the world.
