Note that I left out reality shows. Because, y’know… who cares?
I haven’t found any solid word on when we’ll see shows like Lost or 24–both of which ARE coming back–beyond the fact that they will be in early 2008. Meanwhile, dates the slate of mid-season replacements will depend on how well all the above shows do of course.
My fingers are crossed, sitcoms. Except for you, Cavemen.
