Well that sucks, I was really starting to like that show.
Spoiler:
But on a good note, hopefully that provides an opening for Bradley Cooper to return to Alias next season.

I guess that is a possibility, but they did a pretty decent job
Spoiler:
writing that character off into "witness protection land". Poor Will Tippin...

Please, keep the Alias discussion out of here. You are spoling some of us that are trying to catch up on DVD.

Well, I have not watched one of these shows yet, but I have them all on tape ready to watch (I was going to watch them during my summer TV lull that seems like it will not happen).

Should I still go ahead? From what I have read, I thought that it seemed like a pretty good show that I would be interested in.

I really enjoyed them. I'd say go for it. What do you have to lose but a few hours of your time?

I actually just watched the whole season over this past weekend, I had no clue that the show was on the bubble. I enjoyed it, and wish it would continue. If I'd known it was being cancelled, though, I'm not sure I would have bothered to watch, just because I have a lot of other stuff I want to do/watch also.

Tough call. Decent show to while away a few hours so it's worth keeping if you have the room, but I wouldn't make it first priority.

Well, when you think about it, all shows will eventually get cancelled, so if you use that as a criteria of whether to watch a show or not, might as well just never watch tv at all.

Not all shows are cancelled. Seinfeld and Friends are examples of two shows that were not.

Sucks. Hopefully Jeffrey Donovan, the lead, will find more work in the future.

I believe 13 episodes were aired. I still have 9-10 episodes on my ReplayTV to watch...

Weasels. Scummy, blind, money grubbing weasels.

I hope this sort of bottom line worshipping doesn't start infiluencing the "minds" of cable programmers. It's already turned network TV into a seven day celebration of the LCD.

I liked the show, although it was unrelentingly depressing.

I'm sorry - maybe I should have spoiler-ized that sentence, but good lord, you have time to keep current with Touching Evil and not Alias episodes which have been on DVD for almost a year?

Guess who shot JR! Guess what "Rosebud" meant! How long does something have to be out on video or in the public domain not to be considered a spoiler anymore? In addition, that was hardly a plot point spoiler for Alias considering everything ELSE that happens (not much more so that lisadoris' original comment).

Only the first 2 seasons have been released on DVD. Season 3 hasn't. And who are you to expect me to keep up with the same programs that you do, on a schedule that you set? What if I want to buy the seasons of Alias 5 years from now?

I'm not trying to be a dick. It just irks me when people assume that I have seen everything they have seen. But enough about this. I don't mean to sidetrack from the topic at hand.

I hope the 13 episodes will still find their way to DVD.

Personally, I think it would be kinda egocentric [and ridiculous] to assume that there'll be a 5 year moratorium on talking about Alias so we can wait until you catch up [to use your example]. And actually, that WarriorPrincess quote you 'ported over from the Spoiler thread was in response to someone spoiling an episode of Buffy that was due to air the following week.
