Really looking forward to AMC's The Killing. Good to see Law and Order: LA coming back, too.

Re: Spring 2011 Premiere Dates

Good grief, April is jam packed for me. Didn't know FNL would be returning so soon HBO has been promoting the hell out of Game of Thrones, but I haven't seen a single spot for Treme season 2 (premiering just a week later).

Also looking forward to The Hard Times of RJ Berger on MTV later this month.

Just an FYI about Law and Order: LA

Spoiler:
They are skipping episodes 9-14 and jumping ahead to the "Re-boot" episodes starting with episode 15 through 22. A key character is being killed off.

9-14 will air during the summer.

Re: Spring 2011 Premiere Dates

Hope it's okay to repost this here from the winter thread ... looks like Fox is testing some new slots and giving other shows the axe.

Here is Fox's summer schedule:
Thursday, May 26
So You Think You Can Dance, 8/7c (Premiere Part 1)

Wednesday, June 1
So You Think You Can Dance, 8/7c (Premiere Part 2)

Thursday, June 2
Glee, 9/8c (Encores begin)

Friday, June 3
Bones, 8/7c (Encores begin)
Lie to Me, 9/8c (Encores begin)

Monday, June 6
Masterchef, 8/7c (Premiere Part 1)
House, 9/8c (Encores begin)

Tuesday, June 7
Masterchef, 8/7c (Premiere Part 2)
Raising Hope, 9/8c (Encores begin)
Traffic Light, 9:30/8:30c (Encores begin)

Saturday, June 25
The Chicago Code, 9/8c (Encores begin)

Tuesday, July 12
MLB All-Star Game 2011, 8/7c

Tuesday, July 19
Hell's Kitchen, 9/8c
-----------------

of note are the repeats of Bones and Lie to Me on Fridays which could portend to a move there next season. A weird repeat of Chicago Code on Saturday (probably to see if they can pick up some of the same audience that watches COPS) and NO Fringe or Human Target on the schedule in repeats for the summer. Could the cancellation clock be ticking for these two under performing shows?

Do we know why they're doing this? I know the ratings weren't great, but it looked like they were at least decent.

Dick Wolf decided to make the changes. NBC hasn't given up on it since the new President of NBC also oversaw the changes.

Oops, they moved it up a week and it actually came back last night. I had already set my season pass up so I picked it up. Sorry if you missed it!

Re: Spring 2011 Premiere Dates

It looks like The Killing is premiering with back-to-back episodes, so if you're setting your dvr make sure to record both episodes.

Ah, I was wondering what that was. Typically the show doesn't start up until July each year.

No worries. I was lucky. I was at a friends on Sunday and he was setting up something to record Sunday night and I happened to see "Shark Tank" in his guide and I was confused. Fortunately, I was able to hop online and remote schedule the DTV DVR.

I bumped the Shark Tank thread -- if you want to update the title the of it.

Re: Spring 2011 Premiere Dates

Any news on USA summer starts? I stopped watching Burn Notice (the plot wasn't moving enough and they kept revisiting old threads) and Royal Pains (I wasn't too interested in the dad plot; maybe I'll pick it up again), but I did enjoy Covert Affairs.
