Thoughts on the ABC Fall Schedule...
So I was looking over the list of what's returning and what's not next season on ABC, and even though I already knew this season is the last for Alias, I still felt like I'd been kicked in the gut when I didn't see it on the schedule before "Lost." *sigh* http://www.thefutoncritic.com/pr.aspx?id=20060516abc01
However, I do take some consolation in the fact that several people from the cast including Ron Rifkin have already gotten jobs on other series'. In fact, Ron and Balthazar Getty (Thomas) are going to be in a show together called 'Brothers and Sisters' which also stars Calista Flockart and is produced/directed by Ken Olin from Alias and Marti Noxon from Buffy. So...sounds like it'll be decent.
Rob Bowman and Jeff Bell, some of the head guys from The X-Files are doing a new show too, called "Day Break." Which I'd probably watch except it sounds way too much like a rip-off of Tru Calling. Will wait and see previews before making up my mind on this one.
"Six Degrees" also sounds good and even if it didn't, all I need to know is that JJ Abrams is the executive producer. So there, people. So very there.
"Traveler" is brought to us by David Nutter (producer of the X-Files, Supernatural), and starring Matthew Bomer (Luc from Tru Calling), this one sounds good too.
Now if only we knew what CW was for sure picking up. *waits anxiously*
Addendum: Apparently NBC canceled 'Surface.' Fuckers. I officially watch nothing on NBC anymore. Nem, you will be missed. *sniff*
