It&#8217;s not a new show, and it&#8217;s one that I&#8217;ve regularly watched since it&#8217;s premiere. It&#8217;s called <b><em>Alias<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">and is on <\/span><b style=\"font-family: arial;\">ABC<\/b><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"> Sunday nights at 9PM.

Good question.<\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">The reason is, <b><em>Alias\u00a0<\/em><\/b>\u00a0is not an easy show to get into. It&#8217;s about a young woman who is a double agent for the <b>CIA<\/b> against an organization known as the Agency which has ties throughout the world and does really bad stuff [not quite world domination stuff but bad none the less]. The agent&#8217;s father is also a double agent working toward the same goal&#8230; her mother was a double agent for the Russians but now may [or may not ] be working with the <b>CIA<\/b>.

Probably so&#8230; and therein lies the problem. The show is GREAT for fans who&#8217;ve been following from the start. The plot twists and character development have really worked. The action and production values are on par with most movies&#8230; but even given all that&#8230; for those unfortunate souls who&#8217;ve just tuned in for the first time, it probably was very confusing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">Well that&#8217;s all about to change. The next few weeks will be a great jumping on point for anyone who wants to give the show a try. In addition to the regular cast [<b>JENNIFER GARNER<\/b>, <b>VICTOR GARBER<\/b>, <b>LENA OLIN<\/b>, <b>RON RIFKIN<\/b>, <b>MICHAEL VARTAN<\/b>] there will be guest stars such as <b>RUTGAR HAUER<\/b>, <b>ETHAN HAWKE<\/b>, and <b>CHRISTIAN SLATER<\/b>.
