They've really supported Alias. Many shows with the same budget and ratings would have been cancelled at various points in Alias' past.

Michael, I was fortunate to see the unaired episodes of both Miraceles and Veritas. I have to tell you they were great. And made me even more upset they cancelled the shows.

 

[derek]

I really liked Veritas. Such a strong cast that was really beginning to gell...

Unfortunately a few after that FOX started with the quick trigger finger. I cant think of all the names but there were a lot of them that didn't get a chance to grow.
Television is a different place now.

 

[Dan Rudolph]

When X-Files started, Fox was fairly new and didn't have many other options. Numerous people have mentioned when complainign about Firefly, John Doe, or some other Fox show cancellation that the modern Fox wouldn't have let The X-Files finish its first season.

 

[Jason Seaver]

Which doesn't make it true. The X-Files was showing growth all through its first season, so likely would have reached the finish line and been picked up for a second year.

There's no way the superior show it was paired with, The Adventures of Brisco County Junior, manages twenty-six episodes on top of its two hour pilot today, though. Even ten years ago, that was a gift from the TV gods.

 

[todd s]

Actually, they should all be available somewhere. I know the show played complete in the UK and Canada.

Gilligan's Island was cancelled because the head of CBS loved Gun Smoke and got upset when it was cancelled. He demanded that Gun Smoke be saved so GI and another show were cancelled to free up some time in the schedule

From the first time I saw the promo - I thought this looked really good, and besides, its J.J. Abrams, that definitely deserves a shot.

The other one that looks good from these guys is that Desperate Housewives show - looks like it'll just be a fun drama filled show

 

[Michael St. Clair]

Watched the pilot, enjoyed it, definitely interested in seeing the next couple of eps.

Unsure as to how well the writing can sustain a show like this indefinitely.

Wonder if they are making it all up as they go along.

 

[Steve Phillips]

I too, saw the pilot movie and enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely tune in for more.

 

[BrianAe]

where can one get/see the pilot?

 

[Patrick Sun]

Brian, unfortunately, you're on your own with that request (we don't discuss the means for obtaining advance peeks at pilots, etc). Be resourceful.

 

[Glenn Overholt]

Gee, I was wondering about that too.

Frankly, I hope that they change the pilot and you guys don't bother to watch it.

Glenn

 

[BrianAe]

I understand... I had thought that people were getting it through legitimate means...

 

[Patrick Sun]

I'm watching the pilot because it'll be in HDTV, and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is gonna be smokin' hot in HDTV!

 

[MatthewLouwrens]

Trying to find a picture of Evangeline Lilly, after Patrick's comment, I came across this site.

There's something amusing about the idea of a show that hasn't even aired yet and already has an unofficial fan site.

 

[Patrick Sun]

That's a horrible cast photo of "Kate". She looks much better in motion.

If you look in the "Pictures" section of that website, Photo #54 is more what I was speaking of for "Kate". But if you look in the "Pictures" area, you'll see lots of screencaps from the pilot. So be forewarned of possible spoilers from those photos.

 

[Mikel_Cooperman]

Interesting site. Ian Somerhalder is in the show. I did not know that. Hmmmm.

Looks good. Interesting reads.

Anyone know if this is on opposite Smallville?

 

[Michael St. Clair]

Yes, it is.
