Yup..dubbed in filipino..sighhhhhh..ganda pa naman nya
There is an on-line petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/alias_ph/petition.html) going on.
Eh, wrong petition, and it IS airing in October (the 28th). What you guys want is the original series aired in English, yes?
Wasn't able to see the said commercial, but does that mean that Studio 23 will also be showing Alias? or was it just included in their "emmy nominations" commercial because they had planned to show the Tagalog version on ABS-CBN?
Dapat letter writing campaign. :) Send em bulk mail! That'll make em realize ppl want it in English!
Heck, if you know ppl in newspapers you could suggest the campaign as an article. :)

Little trivia : He is married to Scott Foley .. Noel in Felicity.

I think you mean "She is married ..." I was thinking "Gassy Noel's gay?" for a while there. Can't be too careless with Holly and Pagan and the rest of the Fag Hag Faction around. <weg>

Hence the need for a person <not me, for obvious reasons if you know me> to coordinate. Gusto mo ikaw na lang?
Actually if the ratings tank, they might make the decision to pull it on their own.
They don't watch TV as religiously as those masses. Do you actually think ABC crowd watch Bituin or any other series or musicals before?

See, and I was entertaining fantasies of Foley and The Vartan frolicking in a stream with flowers. Killjoy.

Hey k,
Been away from PI too long? Nowadays, If you do not know Amor Powers or Claudia, di ka in. And that holds true even to the AB class!
:D
Most Filipinos (all 80 million of us) only have a rudementary knowledge of English. Alias is sufficiently complex enough to warrant a "simplification" for average Pedro, Jose or Prokopyo.
Isn't that underestimating the intelligence of the Filipino people ? They do watch movies with complex themes and twisted plots in theaters in one seating ... why would Alias be different, when complications show up in small doses ?No offense but these are the same people who placed ERAP into power. How smart is that? >:(

Haven't you noticed that there are fewer people goin to the movies these days? Either the movie is too complex or they're stayin home watchin there pirated VCDs. Only those who appreciate the nuances of the theater and who can afford it watch in a moviehouse these days.
At another angle it isn't a matter of intelligence but exposure. Do you think they'd stick around a TV show with so much complex English and technobabble/technotalk? Most likely they'd switch to GMA or turn off the set.
As always no offense is met but ABS-CBN's targetted at the non A-B crowd. So why expect em to cater to us. We have S23 to show us what we want.
Again, isn't that underestimating the intelligence of the Filipino people ? Erap became a President not because they are not smart. It is simply because they lack the decency to put the right people in position and not sell their votes. And in our country's political arena, is there really a qualified candidate?Knowing English doesn't equate to being intelligent. ABS-CBN or any station for that matter is just responding to what their general audience want. The language the general audience of ABS-CBN understand and respond better to is Filipino/Tagalog. You're making our language out as the fool's tongue.
Of course it is a matter of exposure. It is because the lack of it that people think they will not watch it if presented in English. You guys watch Friends, the X-Files, E.R., Buffy, etc. Sure they have simple plots... but you guys were able to follow. Alias is not that complex. And its complexity comes over time. Give them a little credit man.

How can I not underestimate the Filipino intellect when Erap got the most votes of any single Presidential candidate in any election in Filipino history? In the assumption that all of those who voted soldout then how can you not say they're not mentally deficient? I think you're overestimating them.
Who is to say who is a "decent" and "right" candidate? People who get elected to posts only reflect the people who elected them into power. If the set of public servants are just a bunch of hoodlums and scoundrel then those who placed them there share similar traits.
This is reality in the Philippines that's why a third of the population opt to leave/abandon the country and go abroad. They'd rather not have to face the B$ on a daily basis.
That's Lawrence TAN, and there's an Alias thread already, dondon

ehh... mods? can'y we just move this thread to BIG TALK??? ;D ;D ;D
Anyway... cool your jets, guys. What I foresee is the show will eventually tank in the ratings (and endorsement), ABS will realize that people are not buying this "new" concept they're trying to introduce, and eventually, they will ship it to Studio 23, where it was originally intended to be shown. Let's just wait and it will eventually happen... ;D
It was #4 and #5 on the first two weeks it was shown. D'oh!

Vaughn is his last name. His real name is Michael Vaughn. ;D
In season 2 they change the opening spiel and they always show him and his CIA profile in the beginning.
anyway, i just hope they cancel in on ABS and move it to Studio 23. All my friends are in bugging me to lend them my season one since they all can't stand the tagalog version. ::)
Really? you think they're getting more viewers in Tagalog than in English?
just needed another reason to share this pic of Jennifer. can't get enough of this babe. enjoy!(http://a552.g.akamai.net/f/552/606/1d/image.pathfinder.com/ew/dynamic/imgs/030203/113420__alias_l.jpg)
abs doesnt know what they are doing. who did they think was going to watch alias in tagalog anyway ???
Did they show 2 episodes of Alias on 23 last night? I was flipping through channels at around 10:30 and there it was (mid-show). Around 11, there it was again! A new episode has started. I failed to completely watch both, sayang.
