Jennifer Garner and Her Real-Life Dog Martha to Star in Hit PBS KIDS® Series Martha Speaks
-- New Episode Airs Monday, February 4, 2013
on PBS KIDS (check local listings)--
(Boston, MA, January 28, 2013) - The popular PBS KIDS series Martha Speaks continues its fourth season with a special episode featuring actress and super mom Jennifer Garner. Garner, mother to three young children with actor/director Ben Affleck, will be animated alongside her dog, whose name also happens to be Martha. Her appearance on Martha Speaks adds to her advocacy efforts on behalf of children's literacy. Garner, whose mom was an English teacher, is an artist ambassador for Save the Children's early education programs and has worked to promote legislation that ensures quality early education and literacy for children.
"Ms. Garner shares the same passion for reading and dogs we do," says executive producer Carol Greenwald. " We were thrilled to have her lend her talents to this episode."
In "Too Many Marthas," Martha is asked to sing at an animal rescue fundraiser and she's thrilled. But on the day of the concert, Martha gets mixed up with another Martha - a dog belonging to a lady named Jennifer (Jennifer Garner). Can Martha help Jennifer locate her missing pup before it's time to sing? Kids can tune-in and learn new words like number, aria, and a capella.
Also airing is the brand-new episode "Too Much Martha." In this episode, Martha's constant pursuit of snacks has added some extra pounds and the vet says she needs to lose some weight. The family resolves to help Martha control her portions and maintain a balanced diet, but when Martha learns what this means, she's pretty fed up. No more late-night pizza?
Tune in for this brand-new Martha Speaks Monday, February 4, 2013 on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
About Martha Speaks
Martha Speaks works to help increase children's oral vocabulary - and how better to get kids excited about learning new words than with a dog who just can't stop talking? Throughout the episode, Martha teaches young children vocabulary words like famous, admire, understudy, and more.

Long before J.J. Abrams was the darling of Hollywood, he was the mind behind one of the most wildly awesome (and occasionally off-the-rails) series with ABC's Alias. Turns out original star Jennifer Garner (Daredevil, Elektra) is actually up for getting the band back together—she just has one little requirement.So, what would it take to bring the coolest spy-fi series back to life? Not surprisingly, she'll only do it if Abrams is the man pulling the strings again. He captured lightning in a bottle for a few seasons of the original series, and Garner told Fretts On Film she'd only risk it if she knew it had his stamp of approval: "I don't see him turning around and rebooting 'Alias' anytime soon. If he did it and he was involved, I'm sure the rest of us would sign right up. We had a blast making that show and we're all still super close, so I'm sure you would find an eager group of participants right there."
Garner's star was on the rise when the series ended, but she hasn't done much lately (she's currently co-starring in the new Disney family film The Odd Life of Timothy Green), so it makes sense that she'd be open to a potential return to glory. Storywise, the show got a little crazy by the end, but when Abrams could balance the fantastic with the spy stuff, it worked—and could work again.What do you think?

From ausiellofiles.ew.com 10/7/09
Question: What can you tell me about J.J. Abrams’ new NBC spy series? —Keith
Ausiello: I can tell you that despite reports to the contrary, it is not a drama. “The truth is, it’s more of a comedy with drama and action than a straight drama,” says Abrams of the project, which revolves around a married couple who moonlight as secret agents. “It’s certainly sweeter and more fun in tone than Alias was.”

Mia Maestro's ready to find a new "Alias" and Shannon Lucio wants to prove there's life after "Spring Break Shark Attacks."

The two leading ladies are part of a busy day of pilot casting buzz.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Maestro will join LL Cool J and Melinda Clarke in CBS' "The Man," playing a doctor with close ties to the show's central undercover cop.

Maestro played Nadia on ABC's "Alias" and has also appeared in the features "Poseidon" and "Secuestro Express."

Lucio, best known as Lindsay from "The O.C.," has taken one of the leads in CBS' very "Angel"-esque drama about a vampire (Alex O'Laughlin) who works as a private investigator. Lucio will play a TV reporter in the pilot.

Also at CBS, Hector Elizondo will play the family patriarch in the untitled drama from Cynthia Cidre. Formerly titled "Los Duques," the show focuses on a multi-generational Latin American family in the rum business and also stars Jimmy Smits, Nestor Carbonell and Rita Moreno.

Elizondo has an upcoming role on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and has a long list of feature credits including "The Flamingo Kid," "Pretty Woman" and the upcoming "Georgia Rule."

In other casting news, Stephen Moyer is set for the lead in FOX's drama "NSA Innocent." The series focuses on an ordinary guy enlisted to spy on a defense contractor. Moyer's credits include the upcoming feature "88 Minutes" and the USA miniseries "Starter Wife."

Garber Is Set In Stone

Victor Garber (Alias) has been tapped to star opposite Jonny Lee Miller in ABC's drama pilot Eli Stone, a high-concept legal drama about Eli Stone (Miller),
a brilliant attorney at the top law firm in San Francisco who finds out he might be a prophet, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Eli is produced by
Touchstone Television and the studio-based Berlanti Television.

Garber will play the senior partner at the firm, the most respected attorney in town, who happens to be the father of Stone's fiancee.

Casting for the role had been going on for several months, and ABC and Touchstone TV are said to have jumped at the opportunity to recruit Garber when he
became available after the November cancellation of his Fox/Warner Brothers TV freshman drama Justice.

For five seasons, Garber starred as Jack Bristow on ABC's spy drama Alias, a role that earned him three Emmy nominations.

E! Online's "Watch With Kristin" column reported that ABC has cut the order for the last season of Alias to 17 episodes from 22. Citing an unnamed show representative, the column also reported that writers are worried that the network may cut the show's order further, depending on when the show eventually returns to the schedule.

ABC still hasn't scheduled Alias, which is supposed to wrap up its last season in the spring.

According to the column, the writers have come up with a plan to bring the Alias storylines to a conclusion within the allotted remaining episodes, even if they need to end the show more quickly than expected.

Alias has resumed production following star Jennifer Garner's maternity leave.

'Alias' to Return on April 19

The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - ABC's spy drama, ``Alias,'' starring Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, will return April 19.

The two-hour episode will feature the birth of Sydney's baby and the reappearance of love interest/fellow spy Michael Vaughn, played by Michael Vartan.

Garner, 33, gave birth to a daughter, Violet, on Dec. 1. The baby is the first child for Garner and her husband, Ben Affleck.

``Alias,'' created by J.J. Abrams, is ending its five-year run this spring.

Other familiar faces who will crop up in Sydney's life during the show's final episodes include best friend Will Tippin (Bradley Cooper), mother Irina Derevko (Lena Olin) and nemesis Julian Sark (David Anders).

Jennifer Garner's real-life pregnancy will be written into the series. Rachel Nichols (The Inside) will join the cast as Rachel Gibson, a CIA operative that Sydney will take under
her wing (and thus do most of the stunt related activities).
