EndLine Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 "Alias" has never enjoyed better ratings than it did last season, when it followed "Lost" in ABC's Wednesday lineup. The network will re-create that pairing for a couple of weeks next month. Unfortunately for "Alias," in at least one of those weeks "Lost" will be a repeat, meaning it won't get the benefit of a huge lead-in. The temporary schedule switch will happen Dec. 7 and 14, with "Alias" taking the place of "Invasion," which was set for a run of repeats, at 10 p.m. ET both nights. "Lost" is scheduled to air a rerun on the 7th; ABC hasn't announced whether the Dec. 14 episode will be new or old. Just what will replace "Alias" on Thursday, Dec. 8 hasn't been finalized. The following week, ABC will air the movie "The Santa Clause" at 8 p.m. ET. ABC's attempt to gain a stronger Thursday-night foothold by moving "Alias" there this fall hasn't yielded very strong results. After an okay start, the show has faded some in the Nielsens and is averaging only about 7 million viewers per week. It's also struggling in the key adults 18-49 demographic, sometimes finishing as low as fifth out of six networks in its time period. Its lead-out, "Night Stalker," fared even worse and has been cancelled after six episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the series will survive, of course...but having 4 repeats within the first 9 episodes is rediculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC is sucking wind...this is a hard show to just come in and watch...re-runs are imperative to gaining new fans. The original fans`will always be here but this allows them to gain new ones.

Ok, at least give me a valid excuse. Showing one or two repeats will not clue people in on the story. Reruns are just filler--you don't honestly believe there is a purpose to them, do you?
