I wasn't very happy when ABC announced their fall tv schedule and I saw that Alias isn't going to come back until January. But I just watched the pilot for the show, Desperate Housewives, that's going to air in it's timeslot on Sunday nites until it returns and suddenly I'm not so upset anymore.

It's a very clever, slightly weird primetime soap opera geared towards smart adults instead of hip teens. It's one of those shows that I shouldn't like, but I do. Very clever writing, well filmed and just enough of a sardonic edge to make it work.

Of course, now I have to wait months to see another episode...
