Pair it with Chuck! Pair it with Chuck!
Ooh, I like that idea.
Alias meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

OMG YES!
PAIR IT WITH CHUCK!
It’s Syd and Vaughn!!

Should’ve went to cbs, if nbc cancels chuck they will cancel this before a 13 ep order
Oh, God, it’s going to NBC?? It’s definitely going to fail now…
I’m shocked that NBC won, given their constant disrespect for quality shows. You think showrunners would want to avoid NBC since it rarely gives great shows a chance, and even when it keeps them on the air, it simply stops advertising.
Nonetheless, if they pair it with Chuck, and it helps keep Chuck around for many years to come, I’ll be thrilled.
I’m shocked too, but I guess Heroes and Chuck have stuck around despite poor ratings. But wouldn’t JJ want to give his show a running start by having it on a network that people watch?
Does this mean they give up on Leno? This has to be a 10 p.m. show.
I’ll definitely give it a shot, but I’m really hoping we’ll see more ‘Alias season 1′ and less ‘Alias season 4′ in this thing…
Well, he recycled “La Femme Nikita” to make “Alias”, now he is recycling “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” for this show.
You have to wonder at the fact that JJ’s childhood friend Greg Grunberg works for NBC on Heroes played into this decision.
huh, J.J now would have had shows on three major networks…did the WB count has a major network??? If so, then four
