I did not see the original Law and Order for the fall lineup, will this series be returning? Sure do hope so, have watched from the very beginning.
Law and Order will be back in January 2008 once Sunday Night Football ends. The show it tentatively set to air on Sundays at 8PM EST.
Is there going to be a season 6 for Nip/Tuck?
Where’s Doctor House?
House (Fox) September 25
Shoot…. Its next month before Scrubs comes back.. oh well, at least Bones comes on sooner.
Anyone know whats going on with Medium?
I am very disappointed that there is no more “The Class”, “The New Adventures of Old Christine”, and “The War at Home”. I seriously miss the last one the most, “The War at Home” is, or was 97% similar to “Married With Children”!
Fall 2007 TV programming will bring me more disappointments!
Luis Jr.
And don’t forget some shows will be coming back in January, so if your favorite show isn’t listed here, check back until we get a listing of shows returning after the holiday.
What about October Road? I read that it will be back before January, is that true? Please tell me thats true. That is the best new show on TV. I just wish people would watch before its too late. ???
what about The Riches on fx?
What about Lost?
Cashmere Mafia, Notes from the Underbelly and October Road will premiere after Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor conclude their fall seasons.
Lost is returning for its fourth season in January
The Riches are returning in March 2008
I didn’t see Monk on the Fall program is he returning after the New Year, also The Closer will we be getting this past summers shows – we don’t get this show in Canada.
The Monk is ending it’s current season, so I would imagine it would be back summer 2008. Same with The Closer I would imagine.
is What About Brian comingback this fall?
What about One Tree Hill?
The CW announced that One Tree Hill would return for a fifth season, but as a mid-season replacement. The show is currently in production so it should be back sometime in 2008.
Ghost Whisperer SEPT 28th.
YA been waiting for that. :)
Where is:
1)Medium with Patricia Arquette?
2)The New Adventures of Old Christine with
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss?
Is What About Brian coming back?
Where is the War at Home?!?
That show is hilarious!!
What about Brian? and Nip/Tuck?
When is 24 coming back?
Nip/Tuck Season 5 will debut on October 30, 2007.
24 is returning in January. That could change due to the plot changes and script rewrites.
The War At Home was cancelled and won’t be returning.
What About Brian has also been cancelled.
Why isn’t the Traveler coming back?? They aired one episode to get us to watch in the new season and now there’s nothing? I really want to know what happens!!!! Any idea why they aren’t bringing back Six Degrees? Again, another good show and I want to know what happens.
Traveler and Six Degrees were both canceled.
What’s happening with ‘Medium’??
WHEN DOES LOST COME BACK ON???????
Yeah, WHEN DOES LOST COME BACK ON????!!!!!!!!!!
JK i figured it out LOL
Tony.
Thank you. You just saved me so much work in organizing my sadly obsessive TV schedule for the coming months.
I cannot thank you enough!
By the by, you have two dats for Dancing with the Stars…
anyone got an idea for when LOST is coming back on?
Just to recap – Lost is returning for its fourth season in January.
UPDATE: Dancing With The Stars (ABC) September 24 – that is the correct premiere date.
Medium (NBC) and The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS) won’t be premiering until 2008.
Damion, thank you for your kind words. And thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a comment, I appreciate it very much.
I updated the article with a list of shows not premiering until 2008.
when does what about brian come back?
what about amazing race???
I cannot believe Lost is not coming back until 2008 they are going to loose a lot of viewers. I hope it is good enough for the wait.
I think it is a shame that What About Brian was cancelled. They have 2 many stupid reality shows on. Who wants reality!! The show was great!!!!!!!!!
Hey i was wondering if anyone has herd anything about specificly when in 2008 Battlestar Galagtica will be returning… i know Razor is taking its place from now but any idea on when its return can be expected?
Is What about Brian coming back?
That stinks! I just saw that it’s not coming back!
Tony,
Have you heard anything about Army Wives on Lifetime?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for saving me so much time… I’ve been trying to find out about Lost especially, and now I finally know why I can’t find the premiere date! But it’s nice having a good list like that. Now if only more people would scan the other comments before just adding their own–that would eliminate a lot of the same questions!
Is Standoff ever coming back?
