When news broke yesterday that Jennifer Garner had inked a development deal with ABC -- to create shows, not star in them -- a lot of people started speculating that she may get excited about a project and decide to act in it anyway. And while that is a fun idea, I think we all know that Jennifer Garner's not going to go on television (that Rachel Zoe cameo doesn't count) at this point in her career. She's just not! And though it makes me sad, too, who would really want an Alias movie, even on ABC? Jack and Irina are dead. I don't want a two-hour Alias episode with no Jack or Irina in it. But that's not the point. The point is that ABC has gone on record saying that if Jennifer Garner loses her mind and decides to do a guest-stint on an ABC show instead of making successful movies in the near future, they would not stop her. Which means it's time for us to tell her where to go.
Lost
Sure, the next season is already carefully planned out, and JJ Abrams has very little do with this show anymore, but Alias director Jack Bender's still around, and they're always in need of ladies who can do kung fu and suss out conspiracy theories. And besides, the last season finale pretty much blank-slated everything we know about anything, so it's not like they couldn't cram her in somewhere along the final season, if for no other reason than as a shout-out to the JJ fanatics.
Dancing with the Stars
It's totally beneath her of course, but girl's got moves. She'd own that competition.
Ugly Betty
After becoming a widower last season, Daniel Meade is going to need a new plucky, down-to-earth girlfriend. Maybe Jen could be a schoolteacher too, and the storyline could take a creepy, Vertigo-style turn. This show could use a little noir.
Brothers & Sisters
As Scotty's sister maybe? That would be adorable. But what's important is how awesomely weird would it be to watch her interact with nice Sloane, aka Saul? Nice Sloane is still weird for me to watch by himself, and I'm three seasons in. Plus, she loves this sappy crap.
Wife Swap
She and Ben swap wives with Heidi and Spencer. Hilarity ensues.
Desperate Housewives
She could be the person Mike married at the end of last season (instead of Teri Hatcher), but they'd have to make her a nice girl to make it watchable. Alpha girl bitchiness just doesn't come naturally to Jen, talented as she is.
Grey's Anatomy
She could either be a patient they all act really unprofessional around, or she could be a new doctor or administrator who comes in for a few episodes who they all act really unprofessional around. Either way, I'd be happy to be excited about more than Hunt and Yang for once, and she could have some really meta banter with somebody about how that Melissa George character really ruined things around there for a while. Or maybe she could just break into the hospital as a marauder, House-style, and take a newly recovered Izzie hostage and beat the crap out of her for no apparent reason.
Private Practice
Easy! She swoops in and saves Violet fromMarshall's wife Katie because her unborn baby has Rambaldi DNA! If that sounds ridiculous to you, you're A) right, but B) clearly not accustomed to what kind of absurdity goes on in this show. It would be the best episode ever.

I would rather they make an Alias movie.
Grey's for sure and a hook up with Owen. As much as I love Hunt and Cristina together, Sandra can't hold a candle to Jen in my opinion!
I LOVED me some Alias and miss the show dearly, but you're right, not the same without Jack and Irina. ABC needs some good shows, so I hope Jen can deliver. Let's also hope ABC doesn't cancel them too (ahem, Alias, Pushing Daisies, need I say more?).
No one is EVER dead on "Alias". With that in mind, I think all "Alias" fans are on-board for a movie spectacle.
Jen's choice of movie material has thus far been abysmal ("The Kingdom" was decent but not exceptional), and she needn't get involved in developing girlie-shows for ABC. Nobody needs more of that poop.
Bottom line, Jen's career (if we're calling it that) is circling the drain due to an endless string of snooze-worthy rom-coms, and it's time she left those behind for something more substantial.
I think we all want that for her....and us.
And where at you logic?
