New Year, New Episodes

What with Thanksgiving, the Presidential Election, Christmas, and the New Year, it seems like a lot of my favorite television shows went into "hibernation" -- sometimes the season ended, but more often it seems like the networks didn't want to "waste" a brand new episode of a show on a day when they figured most of America wasn't watching television. And so we've been subjected to re-runs until things settle down in the new year.

But take heart: new episodes are on the horizon -- alas, some shows (Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother) are just showing the last 2 or 3 episodes of the season -- but other shows (Archer, House Of Lies) are starting up an entire new season. Here's a brief guide to the shows that I'm looking forward to - "!!!" indicates a show that I'm especially eager to welcome back.

[1] While Continuum has reportedly been renewed for a 2nd season, it is unclear to me whether SyFy is going to begin showing Season 1 or Season 2.

[2] Cancelled (*sigh*) but ABC plans to air the final three episodes.

Gee, that's a lot of shows. I never really thought of myself as a big fan of teevee, but I'm inclined to agree with the notion that we're currently living in a New Golden Age of television. There's a lot of really good programming out there. "It's raining soup!" Who knows how long this will last?
