Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 3:03AM ABC Considering Another 'Alias' Series?
I'm sure there are people reading this news from E! and wondering why ABC would want to do it, but I think it's a great move for the network, especially since they're losing the J.J. Abrams connection with Lost wrapping up its run.
So I ask you: Why not Alias 2.0? Obviously, you won't have Jennifer Garner back, but it could work almost exactly the same way. Hire a hottie, put her in wigs, gets some great action scenes...and try to stay away from the soap opera antics that crept in later in the series. Plus, imagine the instant feel-good ABC gets from running promos saying "From the producers of Lost," even if Abrams just lends his name to the show but doesn't actually work on it.
E! doesn't confirm that the show is happening, just that ABC is considering it, and since it's probably the absolute best time to be in the J.J. Abrams business - on top of all his movie stuff, NBC just added the Verizon Guy's Undercovers to its fall line-up - that's probably a big reason the network would even consider going back to SD-6.
Plus, spy franchises are prone to reinvention, and it's not like the story isn't easy enough to replicate with a new agent and new circumstances. You might even get the once-in-a-blue-moon guest shot by Garner. So yes, lament the lack of originality if you want, but finding a hit show on TV is a tough racket, so if you can make the same hit twice, especially with the kind of subject that actually does lend itself to a return visit, go for it.

it wont work because they will cast it wrong, do whatever they can to change it and lose the core audience that it had, it will be no fun and it will be like melrose place plus it JUST got ende a couple years ago
Why are the networks going years back for “old” shows, instead of keeping the new ones going? "Alias" was done when they canceled it, and still they want to “try it again”! Legend of the Seeker was canceled and it was the best show on TV! This show should be IN PRIME TIME! If you’ve seen it-you understand. If you’ve never seen it-you don’t know what you’re missing! I’m tired of the networks not listening to the viewers. Don’t they realize that if we don’t watch them, how will they make money? I’m tired of reality shows, game shows, singing shows, etc.! I’m tired of people no longer caring about each other, or helping each other, or forgiving each other. Seeker is this and more! Not only are the episodes so exciting that you can’t take your eyes off of them, but it’s a program that you can watch and learn good things from. I’m tired of starting a program and 2 or 3 episodes later, the program is canceled. I AM SO TIRED OF MY VOICE NOT BEING HEARD! Are we not the ones they’re trying to get to watch their network? Why not put a place to vote, on the network website, and see how many people are interested in a program BEFORE they cancel it? The networks are so lost for ideas, that the next remake we see will be The Beverly Hillbillies get stranded on Gilligan’s Island while Flipper can be seen swimming in the lagoon! Wake up network executives and listen to the viewers!!!
