Thank you, thank you…as I mark my calendar for 1/6, 1/11-12, 1/21 & 29 and 2/12 & 15.
By the way, my baby sister (well, not so much a “baby”) loves your columns.
I didn’t realize Flashpoint was coming back so soon! Hurray!
I don’t see anything about a Shot at Love 3, hmmmm.
Reaper March 17
NBC and the CW midseason skeds now in; more updates to follow.
I’m not sure it counts as “Winter,” but I just got a screener of TNT’s Leverage with Timothy Hutton and Christian Kane (Angel), premiere is Sunday, December 7 at 9 p.m.
It was fun, kind of like a “Burn Notice” attitude caper show. I’ll be watching for it on iTunes.
Happy to see Lost and Burn Notice but I don’t see Rescue Me. What gives?
I hope “United State of Tara” is as interesting as the concept.
HBO only has Flight of the Concords this winter? No Big Love?
