Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Here's some more dates, according to EW:

January 19
Retired At 35

February 09
Justified

---

Also worth nothing is that while "The Cape" will debut on Sunday, January 9th at 9:00 p.m. with a 2-hour premiere, the show is regularly scheduled for Mondays at 9:00 p.m. Additionally, if you miss the 2-hour premiere on the 9th, it will re-air on the 10th.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Updated and also added dates for when new episodes resume for existing shows.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

The Office also returns on January 20th.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Caprica (SyFy) returns Tuesday January 4th for a 5 hour marathon to burn off the rest of the series.

Also:

Parenthood (NBC) moves to Monday's at 10pm March 7th

Law and Order: Los Angeles (NBC) moves to Tuesday's at 10pm February 8th

Breaking In (FOX): Wednesday April 6th

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

:lol:

I'm glad they're airing them, but a 5-hour marathon is pretty insane.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Will March's The Apprentice be a Celebrity season?

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Yes...I believe the regular edition is probably done for good after the abysmal ratings from this past edition.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

and how they treated the finals

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Finally a premiere date for Justified

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Is Life Unexpected ending? I noticed that it says "Series Finale" next to its return. Is it just coming back for one more episode, or will it air more in the winter and spring and then end?

Last I had read, it hadn't been renewed. But, I hadn't seen where the end was announced, either.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Also:

02/08/11 - Tuesday
Mixed Signals (FOX) - Series Premiere

02/16/11 – Wednesday
Survivor: Redemption Island (CBS) – Season Premiere

Still can't find any news at all about the Paul Reiser show series premiere, even though it looks great.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Has anybody heard anything about ABC Family's other teen series, i.e. Secret Life of the American Teenager and Make it or Break It? They're guilty pleasures of mine, especially Secret Life.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

It hasn't been officially cancelled, but there is no way it's coming back with it's ratings and that it didn't get the back 9. And they are airing 2 episodes that day.

Kristoffer Polaha (Baze) signed a deal to star in a CBS Pilot for next season so he already knows the show is dead.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Mixed Signals is already accounted for - the title has been changed from Mixed Signals to Traffic Light.

Personally, I think Mixed Signals was a much better title, but I guess FOX's marketing department disagrees? I haven't seen many promos for it on-air, but Mixed Signals seems to fit what the shows about (relationships), whereas Traffic Light sounds like a show about...?

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Another new series:

Friday April 1st

Camelot (Starz): Series Premiere

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

"Traffic Light"??? :lol: I seriously hope it was a legal matter and not just a marketing dept trying to come up with a better title. That's a pretty bad change. :lol:

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Didn't see the two NCIS shows on the list.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

NCIS and NCIS LA both return Tuesday January 11th.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

I don't see Community.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

I'm glad to see Californication returning on Showtime.

But I thought Curb Your Enthusiasm was supposed to return by March? :(

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Community returns Thursday January 20th.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

That is a terrible name. I hope it doesn't hurt the show, because it looked really good.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Has any American station picked up the new season The Listener yet? Wikipedia has it starting on Jan. 28 in Canada. I'm pretty sure NBC won't be showing it again.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Yeah, the show looks great. I'm sure the name won't do it any favors though. The best thing it's got going for it is that it'll be on after Glee and Raising Hope.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Any times? I'm trying to set up my recording plans. Thanks!

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

I see Lost has a new timeslot and name.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Great list. This should be a "sticky" so it stays near the top.

One minor possible correction. Titan TV says Jan 2 episode of CSI:M is a repeat; actually two repeats, one at *, one at 10.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

I can't say that I like CBS tinkering with their lineup in the winter, namely moving The Defenders (my favorite new broadcast network show) to Fridays at 8. It's only winning its timeslot every week, so now they want to tinker with it and put it out to pasture on Friday nights. Great job, assholes. -rolleyes-

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

More notes from CBS:

Blue Bloods: Moves to Wednesday's at 10pm for 4 weeks on January 19th

The Defenders: Moves to Friday's at 8pm on February 4th ^^ As Red Dog so eloquently mentioned

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior: Premieres February 16th at 10pm after Criminal Minds

Mad Love: Premieres February 21st at 8:30pm

Rules of Engagement: Moves to Thursday's at 8:30pm on February 24th

Chaos: Premieres April 1st at 8pm

Also, The Defenders also got it's episode order cut from 22 to 18. 18 is still considered a full season.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Lovely. -rolleyes-

I'm not even going to bother watching new network shows next season. The ones that I end up liking all end up getting axed, even when they win their time slots. Screw them.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Geez, Now your taking this a little personally. A few entertainment trades (mainly the ratings site tvbythenumbers.com) have been reporting for months The Defenders was the most likely show to get it's episode order cut and moved to another day because CBS needed to make room for it's midseason shows. Even though it's overall viewership seems decent, it's one of the lowest rated shows in the 18-49 demographic Monday-Friday for such a competitive timeslot.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

I can see it now - Hellcats will be the one new show that I liked (although not at all for its acting or scripts ;) ) that will be renewed. Good Guys and Lone Star are gone. The Event is hanging on by a thread. So it seems The Defenders is too.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Where did you get your info? CyE's new season has been given an October 2011 release since it was announced it would be back.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

The Kennedy's (History Channel): Sunday March 6th

It's an 8-part scripted miniseries with Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes as JFK and Jackie.

It's also from the makers of 24.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

01/11/11 Tuesday
Teen Mom (MTV) - Season Premiere

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Breakout Kings (A&E): March 2011 (exact day TBA)

This is the show from the producers of Prison Break.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

Posted an update to the list. Thanks for the additional info! Keep the updates coming.

Re: Winter 2011 Premiere Dates
 

An update to mention regarding Damages on Directv.

Next week (January 5) is not the premiere of Season 4. Directv is re-airing seasons 1-3 starting with the Pilot.

Season 4 will premiere this summer. Most likely July or August.

Also Jadzia, you forgot to put the Series Premiere of Mad Love that I mentioned in post #30 on February 21st.

Primeval returned 1/1 on BBCa
