It's strange that not only is it almost 2010 but it's the end of the decade. The end of a year also means that it's time for the midseason shows to make their appearance. We already know that Chuck and Lost are coming back (January and February, respectively) and now FOX has announced their midseason schedule. After the jump, full details on when we'll see the return of Jack Bauer, Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsay, reality shows, new shows, and special episodes of your favorites.
- American Idol returns for a two-night season premiere on January 12 and 13.
- 24 will also have a two-night season premiere, on January 17 and 18 (two hours each night).
- Kitchen Nightmares comes back too, on January 29.
- The Simpsons celebrates their 20th anniversary with The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special. In 3-D! On Ice! That airs on January 10 (preceded by a new episode, the 450th of the series).
- The series finale of Dollhouse airs on January 22.
- Two new dramas premiere in early 2010 too: The Human Target debuts on January 17 (with another new episode on the 20th) and Past Life starts on February 11.
- For new comedy, Sons of Tucson debuts on March 14.
- Glee and Fringe fans, take note: both shows are going on a little winter hiatus. Glee's fall finale will air on December 9. It returns on April 13. Fringe's winter finale will be on Feb 4. It returns on April 1.
- If singing and dancing and supernatural investigations aren't your cup of tea, FOX has a lot of football coming up too, including The Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 1. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (which sounds like something you can get at Taco Bell) airs on January 4, while the FedEx Orange Bowl airs the following night, January 5. On January 17, FOX will have the NFC Divisional Playoff, and on January 24 they'll have the NFC Championship game.
Sorry, no word on when 'Til Death will be back. But it will be. It will be.
