Lost, Alias To Move

ABC will move its hit SF series Lost to 9 p.m. ET/PT Wednesdays from its current 8 p.m. and move Alias to 8 p.m. Thursdays, Variety reported.

The new SF series Invasion will follow Lost on Wednesdays in the 10 p.m. timeslot, the trade paper reported.

On Thursdays, Alias return in September or early October, despite speculation the show might be pushed back to midseason due to star Jennifer Garner's reported (but as-yet-unannounced) pregnancy, the trade paper reported. It's expected ABC will have enough episodes of Alias in the can to get through the fall with original episodes; it's possible the series could then take a two-month break in the winter to make room for one of the network's many backup dramas. (Alias premiered in midseason this year in order to air a string of original episodes uninterrupted by reruns.)

At 9 p.m. Thursday, ABC has slotted The Night Stalker, a spooky hour from The X-Files former executive producer Frank Spotnitz.

When I first read the subject line, I thought they were going to do something really stupid, lol. But since they're just switching two back-to-back shows around, it doesn't seem all that bad. I usually watch both Lost and Alias anyway, so it's no problem for me if they switch the two.

But Alias is moving to Thursdays an hour earlier... not staying on Wednesdays...

[Lesa]

I read that wrong.

But... but... but.... But I usually get Wednesdays off work, not Thursdays!

This doesn't start until Fall... I think. But I guess that still doesn't solve your problem. Bummer. I hate when they mess with my favorite shows.

[Lesa]

Yep. Stupid execs!

I think I'll finally start going to some garage sales and see if I can find a good used VCR.

Sounds like a good idea...
