Dude, it's not even funny. The recently released some casting news about a character who is - guess what? - a reporter/blogger. So the show even has its own Will Tippen. Except it's a girl this time around.
I can't decide if I want to watch the show or not. Piper Perabo's voice drives me crazy and I don't know how long I can listen to it. A lighter "Alias" sounds appealing, but "lighter" can often mean "watered down" or "cheesy." I guess we'll see.

I never watched Alias, so I don't care if Covert Affairs is ripping it off. I'm pretty much USA's bitch in the summer anyway.

Outside of the L&O and NCIS (which I will never admit to watching...except to say that I prefer their Palm Tree'd version of DC to the one I live in...) USA has some great summer series. So yeah, I'll be watching.

Unpopular opinion - I am looking forward to "Covert Affairs". It looks like a less depressing Alias, which I'd love. Where Sendhil goes, I go. Figuratively speaking. (And I've never seen Alias.)

Dear Hollywood, If you're so interested in re-making shows, may I suggest Sliders? That show had some great promise and got really really dumb with the wrong handling. With today's interest in Sci Fi/mysteries in prime time, that story with some tweaks could probably get a pretty big following.
Love, an unabashed sci fi geek.
P.S. Enough with the cop shows.

I'll see your cop shows, and raise you a medical drama. Jebus.

Medical shows, cop dramas and especially anything to do with nutso serial killers who like to torment and murder people in ingenious ways while taunting the police with lame-ass clues and walls of crazy. I'd do anything for a nice new Star Trek show. Something better than Enterprise though.

I think ABC alone has had over 20 in the past 4 years...all cancelled.

Why don't you make more original series?

Dear Hollywood:
Stop showing people vomiting in movies. Really. Once upon a time, if a character had to upchuck, he/she bent behind a hedge, car, or wall, we heard the retching, and that was it. Nowadays, I've lost track of the number of films that show the actual spew. Artsy dramas like "The Reader", rom-coms, teen comedies, everything shows it in glorious technicolor. Stop it. People are in the theater or at home watching and often EATING. Vomit is not funny, it's gross.
If you can't do this, please, tell me when I can expect to see feces exit your actors' behinds. I figure that's the next step on this road to grossing me out so completely that I'll never watch another movie.
-Dguz
