Jump to: Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Midseason | Not Returning Midseason series are listed after the schedule grids; I also list which shows from last season are not returning further on down this page. By default, times are for the Central timezone, but there’s a gadget in the sidebar you can use to adjust the timezone to the more popular/familiar Eastern times. When you see "(info)" after the name of a new show, you can click on "info" to go to an official page on the network website about the show, though I imagine some of these links will break as time goes on. When you see a date listed in parenthesis after the name of a show like this (Oct 10) that date is the day that a series was scheduled to debut in the Fall. These things do sometimes change, but I’ll try to keep up with any changes that occur. The focus of this grid is primetime broadcast network programming, but (since so many of you asked for it) I will list some cable programming (just their original programming; not reruns, movies, etc). Keep in mind that most cable series air in shorter seasons at times that don’t really coincide with the seasons that air on the broadcast networks– so lots of cable shows aren’t listed here because they don’t debut in the fall, but aired during the summer or will air in the winter, etc. |

FOX originally planned to air Kitchen Nightmares on Thursdays at 8pm, but later decided to move it to Wednesday nights in the Fall with Don’t Forget The Lyrics taking over the Thursday timeslot. Note that the new season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent will air on a new night and time and on a new network (USA), with reruns likely airing on NBC later. The "new time" for Without A Trace is actually a return to its old/original day and time (before the move to a new timeslot for last season). |
