Not enough reality yet in the schedule for my taste. I was hoping the strike would bring it on a little stronger! You didn't mention Big Brother in Feb.!!! Can't wait for celebrity Apprentice tonight either! New Biggest Loser Couples season looks great as well!! Here's to a 100% reality 2008!!!

Since Julia gets the picture, I thought I'd add that Old Christine returns Monday, February 4, at 9:30 on CBS.

I haven't watched a reality show in 3 years and I'm not about to start that dark period of my life over again! I hope the ratings bomb! My problem however is not with the studios! The writers have been extremely unorganized, greedy, and not very educated on the current state of television and internet programming. You cannot ask for money that has not been made yet, it's a ludacris notion. If I go to my boss and ask for a raise based on future profits he would laugh at me and thus I laughat you writers. You'll come whimpering back with a 15-20%. Seriously never heard anybody complain so much about a 20% raise. Face it your just lazy and you like the time off. Thank god the networks are not caving to your rediculous demands! Nothing is ever good enough for the spoiled babies of hollywood(AKA the writers)!

Meade99 thank you for saying what I was thinking. I think the writers are totally off base with their demands. Now since they have been out for so long it is only hurting the fans of popular shows. We already lost 'The 4400' and 'Dead Zone' due to the strike. I know that USA was going to give 'The 4400' another season and now nothing. I am really worried about 'Burn Notice' is this show next to get cut. I do not care for Reality TV and it personally sickens me that most Americas like the sh*t. If I want reality I'll watch the news. Give me a good Drama, Fantasy, or Comedy any day.

Once again the uninformed chime in with their whining opinions on the strike (because who cares who's right or wrong as long as your programming isn't interrupted). Apparently they haven't ever watched a TV show on the internet, based on their comments that the writer's are asking for "future earnings" on shows the networks aren't making any money on yet. I have watched several shows on the internet, and guess what, they come complete with commercials (which is how the networks make their money), so you see they are making money on the internet right now. This is just a repeat performance of what they did with the home video market, the AMPTP are a bunch of greedy jerks who want to keep all the profits for themselves and their shareholders, and will screw anyone they can to do so. If you want to blame someone because your favorite shows aren't on the air, blame the AMPTP, who could have been reasonable from the begining and avoided this whole thing. I for one intend to catch up on my reading, and hope that when the networks really start losing money as they run out of scripts for their most popular shows, they come back to the table being a little more reasonable.

Moonlight airs a new episode Friday 1/11. You all need to do your homework before you print something like this. There are few new episodes out there and you are totally unreliable!

I think the writers need to be careful how long they make this strike. Some shows were in a delicate spot in the ratings when the strike occured. They may win the strike only to come back to their show being cancelled.

To everyone complaining that this list does not include when the remaining episodes of fall series will be airing: That's not what this list was intended to show!
The list was supposed to show the premier dates for the new series starting in January or returning mid-season series (plus Prison Break, for some unknown reason). The dates for the unaired episodes of the fall series are probably too difficult to track, since the networks keep changing those dates (as with the date for the last new Grey's Anatomy, which played chicken with the Celebrity Apprentice debut and kept changing between 1/3 and 1/10) or are not promoting them (I didn't know there was a new Desperate Housewives episode on last Sunday until I read about it on Monday - thank goodness that show is available in OnDemand).
