The first week after the holiday season can be a bit hectic for everyone and it's far too easy to forget premiering TV shows or even shows we watch that are returning. I thought I would post a list of shows that either premiere, preview or return this week.
It's not all inclusive as I have not included any network reality series, and I may have missed some cable network shows, but it covers most of the big shows and premieres for the week. I will update the list if you point out this week's returning or premiering series I missed. I hope this helps....
