As the holidays wind down and we begin the countdown to the end of the year, it’s around now that we begin to wonder when our favorite shows will be back with new episodes, and when the networks will begin rolling out the next crop of new series. We’ve laid out the schedule for Midseason 2012, which kicks off next week!
As is often the case with these giant schedules, dates and times are subject to change. It’s also entirely possible that we forgot to include a few shows, or they were intentionally left off as they haven’t received official premiere/return dates yet. Regardless, if there’s something you’re looking for that you don’t see below, don’t hesitate to comment below and let us know what you’re looking for! We’ll continue to update the list as dates become available.
