NO, GOD NO!!

...

well, it's not as bad as it seems, i suppose. the article says:

The most surprising move in new ABC Primetime Entertainment President Stephen McPherson's fall schedule, which was unveiled Monday at the New Amsterdam Theater in New York during the network's annual upfront presentation: no Alias. The butt-kickin' spy drama starring Jennifer Garner (news) will instead stay off the air until January, when its fourth season will unspool, sans reruns.

In Alias' Sunday night time slot this fall: Desperate Housewives, a soapy drama about a suburban wife (Twin Peaks' Sheryl Lee (news)) who kills herself, but continues to watch over the Knots Landing-ish shenanigans of her cul-de-sac neighbors.

yes, desperate housewives sounds like a winner!
