Happy December! There’s generally not as much new TV to watch this month, because the networks assume we’re all decking the halls and wassailing and all that, but we have plenty of news for you!
Renewed: Pretty Little Liars.
We have some USA Network January premiere dates! White Collar: January 17; Royal Pains: January 18; Common Law: January 26.
More premiere dates! Here’s FX – Justified is January 17 – and HBO.
FOX has announced its midseason schedule.
The Doctor Who Christmas special will air on, um, Christmas. (I know that sounds obvious, but it’s not, necessarily!)
Lifetime has more Army Wives headed your way.
Apparently CBS heard me (and everyone else) complaining about the difficulty of managing upside down exclamation points on standard keyboards, because the new Rob Schneider show is now just Rob. And The 2-2 is NYC 22. Much better.
Excited about the upcoming Alcatraz? Here’s some teaser art.
