    Hum, it's worth pointing out that FOX doesn't mention finishing airing season 2 of Breaking In (13 episodes). They just say that the show will return on "return for 3 weeks through May 8". So in theory :

    March 27 at 9:30pm : Breaking In (episode 2.04).
    April 3 at 9:30pm : Breaking In (episode 2.05).
    April 10 at 9:30pm : Raising Hope (episode 2.21).
    April 17 at 9:30pm : Raising Hope (episode 2.22 - season finale).
    April 24 at 9:30pm : Breaking In (episode 2.06).
    May 1 at 9:30pm : Breaking In (episode 2.07).
    May 8 at 9:30pm : Breaking In (episode 2.08).

    Each week at 9pm, there will be a new episode of New Girl behind these great comedies.

    May 15 at 9pm and 9:30pm : ?? (1 hour of American Idol ? 2 new episodes of Breaking In ?).
    May 22 at 9pm : Glee (episode 3.22 - season finale — preceeded by 1 hour of American Idol).

    Raising Hope will conclude its run on April 17, nothing to be afraid of here, the show just didn't get a 24-episode season like New Girl, which will conclude 3 weeks later — that's three weeks and not two because 2 new episodes of Raising Hope aired on October 4 and October 5, meaning a lag with New Girl.

    I'm not worried about Raising Hope's chances of having a third season, it will get it.

    What's worrying here is Breaking In. The show is not likely to come back for a third season. First, its current ratings are very bad at 9:30pm, compared to what Raising Hope used to do from September to February. Second, it will get replaced for 2 weeks by Raising Hope in April (I'm not complaning, I love Raising Hope so much (but I like Breaking In a lot, too)). And finally, it comes back for only 3 episodes.

    On May 8, New Girl will finish its 24-episode first season but Breaking In will still have 5 episodes in the can : episode 2.08 will air on May 8 but the show got a 13-episode second season order ! I wonder what FOX will air after Glee on May 15, because they clearly indicate it won't be 2 new episodes of Breaking In. I'm afraid Breaking In will finish its run this summer.

    Other than that, GO Fringe ! I hope The Finder will prove to be a great lead-in (finally something scriped to back the show, because I'm not sure all those Gordon Ramsey cooking shows were the best combo possible with Fringe) and that the current odds for a fifth season renewal (70/30) will soon become 100/0.

    :/ I'm feeling nostalgic about House. This series should've ended in S3 when TPTB dismantled the team.. and the dismantlement of the team shouldn't had happened so early in the series.

    I don't know if want to see the end without the all originals there. I will sure watch the retrospective, because hopefully, in old footage, THERE will be all the 6 actors who began everything.

    OK, FOX,  it is time to "nut up ot shut up" (quoting Woody Harrelson's character "Tallahassee" in "Zombieland") with regards to "Fringe."  We ALL understand that it is an expensive show to produce and that the ratings have been mediocre BUT; 1. FOX, it was YOU who scheduled it in the Friday Gravyard Shift, and 2. It was YOU who put it AFTER Hell's Kitchen at 9 PM - but remember; 1. Fringe is one of the most intelligent and compelling series on TV anywhere at any time which is a credit to you, 2. Fringe has a loyal and fervent fan base who will ALWAYS watch it and 3. that same fan base has a LONG memory! I highly support your efforts to renew this tremendous TV show for a fifth year and "treat her right!"
    Thanks!

    I think Glee returns on April 3. So, there won't be Breaking in on April 3.

    So, FOX is airing 4 episodes from March 6 to March 27 and 3 episodes from April 24 to May 8.

    Are they going to burn off the remaining 6 episodes during the summer? It sucks because I like Breaking in.
