Summary: Give us ALIAS!
Review: We are totally hooked on ALIAS and would buy the DVDs in a heartbeat! What a great show, a classic cliff-hanger!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Ever
Review: This is obviously the best show to ever hit t.v. Unfortunately the stars only go up to five because if I could, I would give this show a 10!!!! I missed the first half of the season, I only started watching at the question/answer episode, towards the end of the season, but I was instantly hooked!! I missed most of the season, so I'm still kind of confused about who Kasinow and Rambaldi are, but I still think it's the best show there is. I reeeaally want this to come out on DVD so I can see the episodes I missed, so I can catch up on what's going on. I hope the studio puts it out soon, because they could make a HUGE profit off it, because everyone I know who has seen at least one episode loves it, and wants the complete first season out on DVD. Even those who have watched since the pilot have said that they would buy it the day it comes out. Therefore, if any of you studio execs are reading this, you'ld be making the biggest mistake of your careers if you decided not to market this.

Summary: Please release ALIAS on DVD!
Review: I feel that I too must include my plea for an "Alias" Series DVD. It is my favorite show on television and I'm sure that all fans would purchase the DVD/video. The strange thing is that I saw the first episode and didn't really enjoy it. Throughout the year though, I got sucked in and couldn't stop! Really, once you start watching the show, you get addicted rather quickly. In case you don't already watch the show, it's about a character named Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner), who is recruited to work for a covert branch of the CIA--SD6. She comes to learn that it is, in fact, not part of the CIA, but is actually the very enemy she though she had been fighting against (took that right from the show's intro). She turns to the actual CIA and becomes a double agent, in the process learning that her father is also a double agent. All of this takes place in the first episode, so that is basically just the premise. This first season is really exciting, with great storylines, and ended on a real cliffhanger. I would recommend that everyone watch the show and purchase this DVD when it is released.

Summary: Alias - Best Actress, Best Writer, Best Director
Review: "Alias" was the best show of the 2001-02 season. The writing is amazing. The hour-long show, because of the twists, turns, constant action and depth, covers more ground than any other show of that length. At least every-other week found me gasping at the outcome of an episode. Jennifer Garner, besides incredibly capturing the torment of her character's double life, does most of her own stunts, and is absolutely amazing. Ron Rifkin is the consumate villain, but sometimes reveals a tender side, especially for his terminally-ill wife (Amy Irving). Victor Garber and Carl Lumbly are outstanding. The sexual tension between Garner and Michael Vartan, and Bradley Cooper's unrequited Will, keeps one coming back for more. All-in-all, "Alias" is a thrilling ride through the world of counter-intelligence and the resulting relationships.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We need it!
Review: An Alias DVD (or entire box set) would be a lucrative end for the studios to think about. They could tap a whole other fan base if they did so. When you think about it, Alias' timeslot (Sundays, 9pm) is pretty obscure, and it would also give people a chance to catch up on the little things they may have missed in the action packed episodes that have left even the most die hard fans confused.

I'm thrilled that both the first and the second seasons are coming out on DVD, only months apart. Right on ABC!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias on DVD
Review: I am a true fan of Alias and it is the ONLY show I try to watch consistently every week. Even though I have had my vcr record the last several episodes, I would DEFINATELY buy the entire season on DVD. It is a show that is fast moving and doesn't leave room for boredom no matter how many times you watch it. I did miss one or two episodes unfortunately and would love to be able to start over with the pilot of the show and go through them in order again. PLEEAASSEE bring this out on DVD so I can buy it!! It has something for everyone and doesn't contain much, if any swearing and nothing really that would make it objectionable for families. My 8 year old loves it whenever he gets a chance to see it and everyone here KNOWS that when Alias is on, Mom is off-limits! I am hooked and will be back next season for sure!
For those of you unfamiliar with the show- is that possible?? It gives a recap at the beginning of every episode now to catch you up on the background and history of what's happened up until that point, which I have never seen done before and is EXTREMELY helpful even as a refresher. It airs on ABC on Sundays at 9:00pm EST. It's about a college girl, Sydney Bristow, that was recruited to work for what she thought was a secret division of the CIA and learned years later (when the show began) that it wasn't really the CIA at all, but a group called SD-6 whom she had thought she was working against. Thus the backbone of the show- she's a double agent and the only one she knows that is aware of the truth is one other double agent "whom she hardly knows"- her father, Jack Bristow. (Apparently it's been a strange, distant relationship between these two).
Her contact in the true CIA is Michael Vaughn (very cool and good looking) and the show plays with the chemistry they have between them and the fact that they can't actually get involved with each other, but the underlying feeling is they want to.
There are other main characters, Dixon her partner in SD-6 (who thinks he is working for the CIA like everyone else there except for Sydney, her dad and the boss- Arvin Sloane.) An important detail about Sloane is that he was apparently born without a heart (feelings and emotion that is) as he is cold and calculating and the job ALWAYS comes first. He and Jack Bristow have history and are in a complicated, twisted way- friends, sort of. Jack is his right hand man, but if Sloane ever learned that Jack or Sydney were double agents he would kill them or have them killed without hesitation. He does love his wife, but if faced with choosing between his wife and his job, it would be a tough decision. He had a hand in Sydney's upbringing and thinks of her as, in a way, his own daughter, although any favors he may do for her will most likely cost her in the future as in his eyes she will 'owe him one'.
Throw this in with her reporter friend, Will Tippin and roommate and best friend, Francie (who Sydney has to lie to all the time to protect them, as apparently the saying, "I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you" in this show means "if I tell you, SD-6 will kill you") and you have one very intense, smart action/drama. I give it 2 thumbs up and hope it comes out on DVD so I can have it at home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias has it all!
Review: Whether you're a sci/fi, action, comedy, or romance fan, Alias can deliver. It is one of the best shows, with never-ending plot twists, and stories to entertain everyone. Best of all, it's aimed at the family!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PLEASE PLEASE give us Alias on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ALIAS
Review: I know that every ALIAS fan will purchase this thriller. I think that ALIAS is better than any James Bond movies. I would recomend this DVD to anyone who is an action movie lover. You never know what will happen next. Your heart is pounding every second of the film. Jenifer Garner is the best actress for the part, no one could have done it better! This is one of those shows where you could watch it 100 times and still want to watch it over and over again. ALIAS is a show that any actress would die to star in. There is no better show than ALIAS! ALIAS RULES!!!
