Re: Midseason Premiere/Return Dates?

Travis, I thought would add the following to your post.

"Flashpoint" will also be returning to CTV on Friday, January 9th and in the same timeslot as CBS. This is CTV/CBS collaboration.

"Lost" will be three hours on Wednesday, January 21st, beginning with a recap show.

Re: Midseason Premiere/Return Dates?

^I added the extra info from you and Scott-S and added a bit on 24.

And for the record, everyone's kudos should be directed at Yahoo.

Re: Midseason Premiere/Return Dates?

Glad to see "Rules of Engagement" returning. Never heard if it was officially cancelled, just figured it was one of those many sitcoms that silently vanish.

Don't think it has yet to get a full season. Maybe it will show some strength and get a full run starting next fall. If they put it back on Monday nights, dropping "Worst Week" it may survive.

Re: Midseason Premiere/Return Dates?

There are a few mistakes on that list.

Monday, Jan. 5
Momma's Boys (NBC)-This is already running, in fact it could actually be cancelled by Jan. 5th

Tuesday, Jan. 6
According to Jim (ABC)*-This is also already running, and actually a new reality show, "Homeland Security USA" debuts on ABC that night

Monday, Jan. 12
Kyle XY (ABC Family)-Season 3 premiere

The Futon Critic has a very detailed list although it's primarily sorted by show name, not date.

That was the only show I was looking for in the list. I'm also glad to see it still has a pulse.

Thanks

Rules of Engagement returns to CBS March 2. It'll be taking over the Monday, 9:30pm time slot currently occupied by Worst Week (which ends its season Feb. 2).

Question about BIG LOVE.

One day recently, watching HBO, I thought they ran a commercial for an extra show of BIG LOVE. Something I guess taking place between Season 2 & 3. But in all my attempts to find out anymore I came up with nothing. Did I just see it wrong?

On the HBO website, there are (were?) little vinettes featuring different characters talking about a Kansas polygamist raid that was otherwise identical in the details to the Texas raid over the summer. "Three Past Midnight" I think they were called.
