The hypocrasy of Hollywood

So ABC premiered the newest season of ALIAS, starring Jennifer Garner, last night.

It is a little late in the season but hey it is a good enough show that the fans should be willing to wait for it right?

JJ Abrams is the creator of Alias, he also did Felicity several years ago. Anyways he created a new show this season called LOST which has done very well in the ratings for ABC being their second highest rated show of the season behind only DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. When the Alphabet network was promoting the show you would, see in print or hear on the radio/TV, "from the creator of Alias, a brand new show.... blah blah blah" and they were really pushing that button "From the creator of Alias".

So I was driving into work yesterday and was listening to one of the morning radio shows, which I think are just getting worse and worse, and an advertisement came on for the premiere of Alias. The voice on the radio was like: " Season premiere of Alias tonight, from the creator of LOST...."

WHAT?!?! How can you promote a show that has been on the air for 3 years by saying that it was created by the creator of a Freshman show? How does that work? I mean I understand that LOST is doing REALLY well in the ratings, but Alias did pretty well on its own.

I just find that to be a little hypocritical.
