Unless you've been living in a cave for the few weeks, you're no doubt aware of the impending arrival of Jennifer Garner's 2005 two-hour premier of Alias 2005.

For the past three television seasons, Alias has been a Sunday night fixture in the prime-time 9:00 PM time slot.

ABC decided to move Alias to Wednesday in 2005 according to Disney's Robert Iger. (Disney owns ABC.)


ABC delayed the fourth season of Alias, which stars Jennifer Garneras a sexy CIA agent, to allow enough episodes to be filmed so the full season could be broadcast without interruption.

In the meantime, the ABC blockbuster, prime-time soap opera Desperate Housewives now occupies the 9:00 PM Sunday night time slot in which has always belonged to Alias. "Housewives" has become a the pleasant surprise hit of the season for the network.

ABC has placed the Alias return on Wednesday night following the also successful series Lost. This will certainly lock in Wednesday night market share for ABC.

The promotional ads for Alias feature Ms. Garner being interviewed by an obvious thug. The interregator asks Ms. Garner "What's your real name?"

"Ima," she replies.

"Ima what," he asks? (Silly man!)

"Ima gonna kick your #*@," she replies with a wry smile and then proceeds to leg-whip him in the face with a well-placed kick.

Since these promotional spots started running, I've been babbling "knock-knock" jokes similar to Ms. Garner's for the past two weeks. I'm sure you know or have heard them all.

And thanks to the power of the Internet and a search enginge called Google, we can all waste a few hours of the new year catching up and/or remembering "knock-knock" jokes from days gone by.

Below, you will find six links to sites that feature knock-knock humor.
