Mid-Season Replacements Are Here!

This post's title is beyond lame for 2 reasons.

1) Read it.

2) Who gets excited about "mid-season replacements"?

THIS GIRL.

Beginning in January, some of my old favorites + a few newbies with potential will be filling my DVR with promise (and likely disappointment). Here's are the newbies I'm looking forward to:

"Awake":

"Alcatraz":

"Smash":

"The River":

(Dis)Honorable mentions go to "Are You There, Chelsea?" and "Apartment 23", both of which I want to be good, but I know will not be.

Oldies:

"Justified"

"Game of Thrones"

Oh TV, we keep coming back. You keep letting us down. Throw us a bone. Let one of these be worth watching beyond episode 1...
