"Alias" returns the day after "Commander in Chief" returns, not long after Salman Rushdie's wife appears in a dreadful "Ten Commandments" remake. And it's all yours on A-B-C.
The Emmy Award-winning spy drama, “Alias,” returns to the ABC primetime
schedule with a two-hour event on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), and
will air in its regular time period thereafter on WEDNESDAYS (8:00-9:00 p.m.,
ET).
Jennifer Garner stars in her Golden Globe Award-winning role as CIA agent
Sydney Bristow in this non-stop thrill ride through espionage, adventure and
heart-wrenching drama. The electrifying return event includes the birth of
Sydney’s baby and reappearance of Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan).
Upcoming episodes will reveal the outcome of Sloane’s unholy alliance in
his search for the cure for daughter Nadia (Mia Maestro) and the endgame of the
Rambaldi prophecy. Other familiar faces from the past will crop up in Sydney’s
life – for better or worse -- including best friend Will Tippin (Bradley
Cooper), mother Irina Derevko (Lena Olin), and nemeses Julian Sark (David
Anders) and Anna Espinosa (Gina Torres). The series, which is filmed in Los
Angeles and premiered on September 30, 2001, is from Touchstone Television.
Additionally, the epic, four-hour ABC Premiere Event, “The Ten
Commandments,” will air in two parts, MONDAY, APRIL 10 & TUESDAY, APRIL 11
(9:00-11:00 p.m., ET, both nights). “The Ten Commandments,” which is from
Hallmark Entertainment, is a truly inspiring motion picture event. Shot on
location in Ouarzazate, Morocco with a stellar international cast, it unfolds
with all the spectacle, human drama and grand inspiration that has earned its
stature as the greatest story ever told.
Can we assume that ABC's not airing the Chuck Heston/C.B. DeMille "Ten Commandments" this year--and is someone on cable doing it?
