Alias needed for the Australian Summer
The long hot Australian summer is usually used by the networks to clear unaired episodes and low-rating series from the previous year. Think of it like a garbage dump – mostly filled with rubbish, but with the occasional gem hidden amongst the junk.
There’s one show in particular that I will be tuning into on those lazy summer nights. While there has been no official announcement from Channel Seven, the buzz over at TVAus.com.au is that the final season of Alias will air. There’s no word yet on what timeslot it will be given, but considering it is non-ratings period one can only hope it will be shown at a decent time. I have to say, it’s about time Seven aired Alias. Being the show’s final season (and a short one at that), it wouldn’t have been difficult to slot it into the programming somewhere over the previous year. I guess I shouldn’t complain – at least it’s actually being shown.
Other shows set to continue over summer are Veronica Mars and Smallville, with sitcoms such as the King of Queens, the New Adventures of Old Christine and Joey also likely to return. As I said, there’s good and there’s bad – I’ll let you make up your own mind as to which is which.
Are there any shows you are looking forward to seeing over summer? Or do you see it as nothing more than a proverbial wasteland?

The Devil & I
Majikal Mysterium
King of Queens is another show I look forward to during the off season.
Film & TV on DVD
Entourage S3, Sopranos S6, Deadwood S3 and Battlestar Galactica S3 all have new seasons over the summer.
Doesnt effect me though because i have a buddy in the US who sends them over to me weekly so Ive seen them already.
I refuse to waitin the stone age of Australia where even if they screen good shows its after midnight anyway.
