Alias reruns will air on TNT starting in Fall 2005. TNT got themselves quite a bargain.
Crossing Jordan will air twice a week when it returns (for at least a couple of weeks).
My reaction to the end of Average Joe: Hawaii: loud confused laughter. I mean, poor Brian. But the rest was just hilarious and surreal and strange and so very stupid. No, I don’t normally watch this show. I tuned in out of curiousity over that big secret NBC has been hyping to high heaven.
And then there was The Late Show last night: Dave got voted off the show! And then he wandered away for a while and Paul had to run things. And then there was that weird interview with Ann Heche (Dave was asking some odd questions, frankly) which was interrupted by a naked Richard Hatch. I hadn’t had time to watch the show in a while and just happened to leave it on while I was working and it was far too amusing.
