I think it'll be worth the wait for Alias. Anyone heard anything about "Lost"?

I agree with the Alias sentiment. It's nice to hear that even JJ wants to get back to what really inspired him to do the series in the first place... the series has kind of gotten lost in the magical mumbo-jumbo this year, and it'd be nice if they could work their way back to being a semi-realistic spy action show.

The only thing I am dissapointed about is "I'm With Her" not coming back. ABC has a long road ahead of them, right now they are the laughing stock of network TV.

I'm disappointed "It's All Relative" isn't returning. While the "young lovers" of the show were just so-so, the 4 parents were much better.

Is the spinoff sitcom from the practice not going to be on ABC?

Am I somehow a bit less than humane because when I read the description of ABC's new show "Blind Justice" I immediately thought that they should combine the blind detective from that show with Marlee Maitlan from "Reasonable Doubt" for the next Law & Order incarnation? Maybe call it "See No Evil, Hear No Evil"?

And is it just me, or does "Desperate Housewives" look like a bad rip-off of "Dead Like Me"? Does ABC have ANY creative energy left?

Well, some of the cast pictures for NBC and ABC (zap2it) new shows give away plots to other shows. Adriana from Sopranos on "Joey" means she'll probably get whacked (unless Sopranos is over for good). The nurse's kid from "ER" is on a new sitcom "Rodney" means that they won't be coming back. The army reserve doctor from "ER" is on Hawaii so he'll be in Iraq or dead next season. The cast of "Line of Fire" is spread out so that show has no hope of coming back (I still held out some hope).

"Lost" looks really stupid. But the "Desperate Housewives" women are incredibly hot!

Sopranos has such an erratic schedule that the actress was told any future work on the show would very likely fall during her Joey hiatus. No spoiler at all (necessarily)

Looking through the pilots they did not pick up some shows that sounded good. Shows with Lewis Black, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sabrina Lloyd, and Selma Blair.

The one missing (so far) is the JJ Abrams/Greg Grunberg project about the life of the bounty hunter. it was always anticipated to be a mid-season replacement, so it's still too early to tell, but they DID talk about quite a few midseason shows already.

Lost looks good. The cast is huge to allow a lot of stories it seems so that it doesn't get repetitive is my guess.

From the description, it doesn't look much like Dead Like Me. It looks alot more like "American Beauty." Even if it were a ripoff of Dead Like Me, how many people have actually SEEN that program to realize it? A fairly low percentage of TV viewers I'd have to imaging.

Houswives Looks interesting; I may give it a try in Alias' spot while it's there.

The producers of "Blind Justice" must have a death wish. They cast Rena Sofer in it.
