Schedule Boy
Heroes, Prison Break (among others) return this week
Hiya, kids! Schedule Boy here, nearly fully recovered after a bout of stomach virus that hit the S.B. home. Thanks for all the flowers, candy, and $100 bills.
Anyway, I just stopped by the TV Squad offices (in the palatial studios that once housed the Krofft Supershow) to let you all know about the return of a number of fan favorite shows to the prime time line-up. Most of these have not had a first-run episode since the beginning of December. So, their return is eagerly anticipated (or feared, in some cases).
It begins tonight with the return of Prison Break on FOX, Everybody Hates Chris on the CW, and Heroes on NBC. Out of all three of these Heroes is probably the most anticipated. This has been the surprise hit of the season and has already been renewed for a second by the network. Also returning to the NBC schedule tonight is the love-it-or-hate-it Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. This show seemed to pick up a bit of steam right before it took its holiday break. Here's hoping that it continues in the upcoming weeks.
Ask TV Squad: When are shows returning from hiatus?
Greetings, TV Squad readers! It is I, Schedule Boy, here to answer an email posed by Christopher Cope:
Hey, I was just wondering if you could possibly do an article on when all the shows are starting up again. I'm trying to find it all out on my own, but there are just so many that I need to remember.
Fear not, young Christopher, for such an article was posted a few weeks ago. You can find the complete list by clicking on this link. As you will see a good many shows will be returning to the schedule as early as this week, with new episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order: SVU premiering tonight. Most Thursday night shows will also be returning this week with new episodes. That includes popular shows like Ugly Betty, ER, The Office, Scrubs, and C.S.I.
