Winter 2010 Genre TV Show Start Dates

Gone are the days when TV seasons start and end at the same time for each show on each channel. Navigating the modern TV schedule can be tricky. Here’s a handy guide for when to expect your favorite genre shows (with a few other fan favorites thrown in) to return this winter.

Some Notes

• Some shows are premiering on a different night from their usual timeslot, so beneath their premiere date you’ll find their usual timeslot information.
• All times are Eastern.

• 24: Sunday, January 17 at 9:00 PM on FOX
  • Usual Time: Mondays at 9:00 PM (Begins January 18)

(This isn’t actually Fringe‘s midseason return, but an unaired episode from Season 1. The new season really starts on January 14. However, the unaired episode will be the first they show this winter, and we wouldn’t want you to miss it!)
