ABC Picks Up 'Alias,' Two Comedies for 2002-03 Season
LOS ANGELES - ABC announced Sunday (Jan. 13) that they have given full season orders for the 2002 season to their freshman drama "Alias," freshman comedy "According to Jim" and sophomore comedy "My Wife and Kids." "They have earned our vote of confidence," says Susan Lyne, who was named President of ABC Entertainment on Monday. The family comedy "My Wife and Kids" is ABC's No. 1 comedy in Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34, while the flashy spy drama "Alias" is the second-highest-rated new drama of the season among Adults 18-49. While no announcement was made concerning the Steven Bochco legal drama "Philly," the network expressed pleasure in the way the show has performed and grown creatively this season. |
I'm glad for Courtney. I'm even gladder for me, because I just love Alias.
