One of my favorite webpages is the Futon Critic’s When Does (Insert Show) Come Back? This is the best source I know of for finding out when (or if) a particular series will be airing original episodes again. They try to be complete (Tripping the Rift is still listed, for example) though with a few surprising holes (why are some BBC America mysteries listed and not others). Still, there’s no other single page which gives a simple, comprehensive list like this.
Shows I’m looking forward and their airdates include:
- Rome: Jan. 7
- The L Word: Jan. 7
- 24: Jan. 14/15 (once again, Fox is doing the very neat four hour blockbuster intro)
- Monk: Jan. 19
- Stargate SG-1: March 2 (final season)
- The Sopranos: March 11 (final season)
- Entourage: March 11
- South Park: March 21 (Eleventh season, can you believe it?)
- The Shield: April 3 (final season?)
- The 4400: June 3
- Rescue Me: June 17
- Eureka: July 17
A couple of new shows caught my eye while I was checking network websites just now:
- Dirt, coming Jan. 2 on USA, features Courtney Cox as editor-in-chief of a sleazy celebrity tabloid. Ought to be interesting if Cox (who is also executive producer) can remember this is not just a hatchet job on paparazzi and their employers.
- Tin Man (tentative title) won’t be on SciFi until December of next year but the press release makes me think this re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz will be wild. Written by Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle (creators of The Pretender, which I thought was underrated), this six hour miniseries will replace the fantasy of the original with science fiction versions.
