What's On TV?

With the arrival of January, the major TV networks have begun airing new TV shows to replace the duds they cancelled from last season. Many of these "mid-season" replacements are carbon copies of a formula that was already successful in the fall. Some, however, are difficult to categorize at all. Let Dogs & Jeans know if you will be watching any of these programs and our Crack Popular Culture Mavens can help broadcasters refine their broadcast schedule.
