Compared to its performance at the same point last season, "Alias" has grown by 2.8 million viewers and by 34% among Adults 18-49. In fact the series is delivering its highest-rated season ever. "Alias" stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, Victor Garber as Jack Bristow, Ron Rifkin as Arvin Sloane, Michael Vartan as Michael Vaughn, Carl Lumbly as Marcus Dixon, Kevin Weisman as Marshall Flinkman, Greg Grunberg as Eric Weiss and Mia Maestro as Nadia Santos.

"Alias" is from Touchstone Television.

Great news :thumbsup:.

Yay! :thumbsup: No doubt Lost has been a big help in the ratings increase. :)

Brilliant :thumbsup:

Have posted something similar on USD :D Yay :thumbsup: Great news for all of them (except I don't really know anything about Boston Legal, not sure we get that over here).

Yay for Alias and Lost :thumbsup:

What Lisa said :thumbsup:

This is brilliant news!

Eonline Tv renewed for next season

Yay !!! :thumbsup:

It`s also listed here ( points to clicky thing ), along with a list of the other series being picked up.

I thought I`d seen it listed somewhere.... :ermm:

Have checked - I`m thinking of Boston Public - starting on April 25th at 10pm on Living TV - Is it the same programme with a name change over here, perhaps ? :huh:

:group:

D'oh! It's going to show on Living tv but not sure whether it's started yet. Stupid thing is I actually read about it in this month's Sky mag but had completely forgotten :lmao: No doubt it'll be in a 9pm slot so will have to contend with everything else :rolleyes:

Have just posted an edited comment, see above ! :thumbsup:

Not that I'm complaining but would Alias have survived so long without JG and innumerable skimpy costumes? Is the idea and the actual story good enough to have got it this far?

No, 2 different shows. Boston Legal is law (Well, dur! :lmao: ) and Boston Public is teachers. But it looks like both are starting on Living tv this month!! :thumbsup:

I think so :D The scripts are good, the pace fast, the other actors are great.................but it's good to have JG on board, LOL :thumbsup:

From what I can see................they are both by David E.Kelly. Boston Public ended last year and Boston Legal took over :D

Who cares ;) :lmao:

Well, this accounts for the confusion ! :blink:

I think so, maybe not from what I've heard about S3 though. Also the majority of fans are hetrosexual women but then again, Michael Vartan and David Anders have probably got something to do with that.

Great news about the 5th season :thumbsup:
