"Alias" is going undercover for good. The spy drama starring Jennifer Garner will end its five-season run in May, ABC announced Wednesday, promising a big finish.
"'Alias' is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it's going to rev up, and we're going to make it the event it deserves to be," ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.
The series co-stars Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbly and Kevin Weisman. It was created by executive producer J.J. Abrams, who is also part of ABC's popular "Lost."
Airing at 8 p.m. EST Thursday this season, "Alias" has struggled to hold its audience against the competition, especially CBS' "Survivor: Guatemala." Last week, the ABC show drew about 7 million viewers compared to about 19 million for "Survivor."
Garner and her husband, actor Ben Affleck, are expecting their first child around Christmas. Her pregnancy was written into "Alias" for her character, a globe-trotting spy.

CIA pals? Do they ever try to bring down a president?

don't I know it.... (sob)... ;)
But, we still tried to tune-in every week just to see which way this "chain-collision of clown cars" would head next. Well, okay, AND to hope to see a second blue latex dress, AND another kick@$$ b*tchfight with evil Francie, AND to see Willage get more teeth pulled out of his head.
However, we thank the show for its indirectly introducing us to www.jumptheshark.com and www.televisionwithoutpity.com - the dungheap _did_ manage to fertilize a couple of daisies.
And those two great websites are helping us get through 'Lost' too: here and here. Enjoy the snarkiness!
OMG! 'Jesus Christ' was gay?!
ya, well.... [sigh]
Actually, as VERY 70's as Godspell was, I still like a lot of the songs -(should I post a major geek alert here??? ;)
If it takes ninety-odd episodes for someone to tell us his name is really André Michaux, then he deserves to get a whole lot of bullets put through him.
Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please,
Richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold
Pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best at shaking down
Best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them, but what do they care?
They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat
Houses on the street where it's sunny..
Summers at the sea, winters warm and free
All of this and we get the rest...
But who is the land for? the sun and the sand for?
You guessed! It's all for the best...
I absolutely LOVE that song!
I annoy my poor, long-suffering wife at times by belting it out at high volume.
