Hallmark Channel January Changes; Alias to End in May

We already told you that Diagnosis Murder will come to the Hallmark Channel starting January 3, airing weekdays at 12 noon. So what else will they be changing? JAG will return on January 2 with a Jag-a-thon (and the episode "Jag-a-thon" is airing in this even!) from 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. ET/PT. Then starting January 3 you can catch JAG weeknights at 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.m both replacing second airings of Walker, Texas Ranger. There are no other changes, so us sitcom fans are once again not pleased!

ABC's well written drama Alias will come to an end this May after five strong seasons. The veteran drama moved to a tough Thursday slot this season and will be going on hiatus because of Jennifer Garner's pregnancy. The show will return for its final batch of episodes in March--but first watch the final two episodes before the hiatus right after Lost on Wednesday, December 7 and Wednesday, December 14 at 10/9 central. Some might say the ratings probably caused for the show to end, but honestly before the season even started it was almost certain this would be its last season because Jennifer Garner is also becoming a big movie star. The hit spy drama has had a cult following ever since its debut in September 2001 and will be missed next season. At least we can still catch J.J. Abrams' work on Lost and the upcoming mid-season drama What About Brian.

Stay tuned this holiday weekend for network holiday programming news! So keep checking back everyday with us during this holiday weekend.
